About The Customer
Lovehoney is the largest online adult retailer in the UK, accounting for one-third of all adult products sold in the country. The company has experienced significant international growth in recent years, with a 22% increase in revenue in both 2017 and 2018. This growth has led to the company receiving over 100,000 orders a month. Lovehoney's customers are knowledgeable and expect to find the information they need quickly and without delay. The company operates contact centers in the UK, USA, and Australia, led by the Head of Customer Service, Matt Oxford.
The Challenge
Lovehoney, the UK's largest online adult retailer, faced a significant challenge due to its rapid growth. With 1 in 3 adult products sold in the UK coming from its warehouse, the company's sales increased by 22% in both 2017 and 2018, leading to over 100,000 orders a month. This surge in sales put immense pressure on the customer service team, which was already dealing with complex product queries and delivery logistics. The customers expected to find the information they needed quickly and without any delay. Meeting these expectations consistently was a significant challenge for the customer service team, which was also tasked with managing the increased demand.
The Solution
To address this challenge, Lovehoney sought a tailored, data-driven solution that could easily integrate into its existing systems. The company aimed to minimize disruption and operationalize the new system quickly. The solution involved the integration of an AI agent to handle a portion of the company's live chats, which was expected to create massive time savings for the team and improve customer satisfaction scores. Within two weeks, Percept.AI had integrated with Lovehoney's systems, and the new AI agent was accurately deflecting over 25% of live chats. This solution was optimized for Lovehoney's unique demands, providing a fast and efficient response to the company's challenges.

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
