How we cut Carrier’s hold times by 89% and left every system alone.

Customers waited while dispatch, support, vendors, and collections ran on systems that wouldn’t connect. A remote team did the connecting, and the overflow queue disappeared.

01The situation

Four systems couldn’t keep up with operations.

Dispatch, support, vendors, and collections each ran on their own legacy system. Nothing integrated. Customers waited while teams worked in the dark.

A full replacement meant tens of millions and years of work.

02The problem

The gaps cost more than the software.

The platforms couldn’t share data. No one saw the whole operation.

  • Four platforms, no shared data.
  • Callers sat on hold while overflow queues backed up.
  • Nobody could see dispatch, vendors, and money in one place.
  • Routing was clumsy, and no two customers got the same experience.

Decisions stalled. Customers waited. Teams worked in silos. Fixing it meant rebuilding everything.

03The solution

People connected what the software couldn’t.

No overhaul. We built a remote operations team that tied the systems together in real time.

We didn’t change the systems. We connected them with people.

  1. We built a central digital contact center and staffed it with trained remote professionals.

  2. We wrote routing rules that send each customer to the right person instantly.

  3. We supported operations across 41,000+ ZIP codes.

  4. Dispatch, technical support, vendor coordination, and collections now run in one workflow.

  5. We handled hiring, equipment, IT, and HR, so Carrier’s managers could run operations.

04The outcome

Shorter waits. No overflow queue. Same systems.
