Customer Knowledge Base
for E-commerce Platforms
Project Overview
E-commerce platforms handle a high volume of customer interactions related to product details, order tracking, returns, refunds, payments, delivery timelines, and account management. When customers depend solely on support teams for basic information, response delays and increased support costs negatively impact customer experience.
The client was an e-commerce platform serving a large customer base across multiple product categories. Customer support teams were overloaded with repetitive queries, while customers struggled to find accurate information quickly.
We implemented a Customer Knowledge Base for E-commerce Platforms to enable self-service access to common queries, policies, and guides through a structured and searchable knowledge system.
