Reducing Customer Support Load by Creating a Self-Serve Experience for Account Management and Data Access

EKOM is an AI-powered ecommerce optimization platform that helps brands improve product visibility and performance through automated SEO insights.

As consumer trends shift, EKOM enables ecommerce teams to update titles, tags, and product data automatically to align with what is popular, without manually editing individual product pages.

As adoption grew, customers increasingly relied on EKOM’s internal team to interpret data, configure accounts, and validate actions, creating a growing support bottleneck.

EKOM was delivering real value through its AI-powered SEO and optimization insights, but that value required constant hands-on support from the internal team.

As adoption grew, this created a bottleneck:

  • Support requests increased
  • The team became a dependency for basic actions
  • Customers couldn’t move at their own pace


It was removing the internal team from the critical path without sacrificing clarity or trust.

Why they brought us in

Their existing product required too much hands on support from customer service

EKOM needed users to configure, explore, and understand their data independently, without emailing support for confirmation or guidance.

A product built without a UX lens began to introduce friction for users as it scaled

The product had been designed by non-UX/product designers, and as it matured, usability and clarity began to suffer, creating growing friction for users and accumulating product debt that needed to be addressed.

An Inconsistent Interface Undermined Product Credibility

Fragmented UI patterns and visual inconsistencies made the product feel less professional than the level the company was aiming to represent.

Challenge

Enable ecommerce teams to independently manage product data so they can improve visibility without manual intervention

Buyer trends shift constantly and it's important for ecommerce brands to leverage popular search terms in order for buyers to discover their products. For brands with several products, especially hundreds or even thousands, it's extremely difficult to keep up with the everchanging demands to update product descriptions, metadata, and search keywords. How can we let them update them easily, while maintaining brand voice?

what we did

Training the AI Models to write the right way, quickly

The problem

Every company has nuanced brand rules and often a catalog with hundreds, sometimes thousands of products, and it is hard for the model to customize product descriptions while getting set up.

What we did

Create a self-serve experience to let stores batch approve and give feedback to the product descriptions that were generated. The easy "Approve" and "Reject" allows the client to review many samples in order to train the AI model.

Why it mattered

Accuracy and feedback for the AI model is crucial for companies to feel confidant in EKOM's work with their products. Transparency is needed to know that the model is learning and generating content that is on-brand and useful.

Give users direct access to their performance data

The problem

It was difficult for customers to access or make sense of how their products were performing, and seeing if EKOM was actually improving their product visibility. Reps from EKOM had to hop on calls and emails to give regular updates to their customers. Without visibility, EKOM was losing trust and transparency for their impact.

What we did

Give full visibility to customers in a self-serve experience so they could see how different categories and individual products were performing.

Why it mattered

Independence, ease, and accessibility to data is important to give customer's confidence and visibility that their products were being improved by working with EKOM.

Feedback to Customize Optimizations

The problem

Lack of visibility of what EKOM was impacting or not. Customers didn't know which products were being affected, leading to hestiations and distrust.

What we did

Give full visibility to customers in a self-serve experience so they could see how which specific products and categories EKOM was optimizing.

Why it mattered

Building trust and transparency for clients.

Making it easier for customers to interpret complex billing packages

The problem

Nuance and complex billing options designed to give customers flexibility to buy only what they needed, resulted in confusion for customers to understand what they are buying.

What we did

Broke down each part of the package into it's own section so it was digestable and could follow patterns from traditional billing UI.

Why it mattered

Giving transparency to customers about their packages

Impact

  • Self-serve experience to give more agency and flexibility to customers and take off the load for customer service calls
  • Elevated customer experience created with a cohesive design library that the team can use to expand future products
