Portugal Telecom transformed customer service with business process management (BPM). They implemented a BPM system called SHOP Box to standardize and automate customer service processes after merging with another company. SHOP Box integrates with legacy systems and guides employees through customer interactions. Since implementing SHOP Box, Portugal Telecom has seen a reduction in average customer service time and has served over 28,000 customers through the new system. However, they aim to continue optimizing workflows and expanding SHOP Box to all retail locations by the end of 2015.
