Challenge
With Biteship's accelerating growth, there were many operational bits they needed to improve as well in order to keep up with the increasing demand. Biteship's presence on various social media platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp presented unique challenges in customer service management. Despite having agents on each platform, workload imbalances often occurred. In particular, WhatsApp became a primary focus with overwhelming inquiries. As a result, agent performance evaluations became challenging, leading to slow responses and unpredictable customer satisfaction levels.
On the other hand, administrative tasks in the HR department faced similar constraints. From payroll data management to employee leave management, these tasks often consumed valuable time and were prone to human errors. With the company's rapid growth, relying on spreadsheets became increasingly inefficient and error-prone.
Mekari is like a Swiss Army knife for business. It helps us to make our day-to-day operations more productive. — Mirsa Sadikin, CEO, Biteship
