About the client

Approach
Since the client already had a working sales model, we had to properly understand and contextualize it before building an AI Coach for customer service workers that would easily integrate with sales team workflow. Our project manager began by interviewing the client’s sales managers and agents to draft an early concept of the prospective product. Once it was approved, we put together a dedicated team.
The client expressed some initial concerns about the time difference between our offices. However, we acclimated to their business hours so seamlessly that this was quickly forgotten. Our team regularly touched base with the client using daily stand-ups and weekly reports — the key practices of Scrum development. The project took nearby 5 months and involved a team of 6 experienced developers.
