Thanks to the partnership between Orange and the Customer Success Shortways team, the help content was customized closer to their needs:
- Contextual helps in French and in English, related to business instructions
- Notification bubbles, for example to remind users of the change of address of the head office
- Interactive step by steps, especially to create and source event without going through content
- Usage statistics to continuously adjust the content and measure the use of the tool
Benefits

- Relief of the support load
Improvement of the support and the user experience, relief of the support load
The solution has considerably improved the collaborators experience by supporting them, thus relieving the support load.
The Shortways solution cover the needs of help for occasional users but also for seasonal users.
The exploitation of usage statistics has made it possible to evaluate the use of the assistant, to make the assistance live and evolve.
With 20 000 Shortways interactions per month, Orange was able to see that 70% of its user population did not deactivate the step-by-step and did have a need for support.
