Openreach, a subsidiary of the BT Group, maintains the telco's network in the United Kingdom. It provides last-mile access to retail customers and businesses. Its customers include a vulnerable segment of users living in old age homes and geriatric care centers.
Openreach prioritizes the resolution of service issues for this cohort of customers. The company has a dedicated helpdesk looking into complaints from these customers. However, customer support was far from efficient.
After the inbound call, an engineer is dispatched to the site for resolving the issue within four hours, as per the service level agreement (SLA). At an operational level, Openreach could not adhere to the SLA due to a complex, manual process.
