Who’s EverHelp?

EverHelp is an industry-leading provider that combines human + AI efforts to deliver custom support outsourcing services. Since our founding in 2021, we have scaled from 5 employees to 1,000+ agents across 4 continents and have worked with over 100 clients. But great support today isn't just about people, but about pairing the right humans with the right technology.

That's why we combine our expert agents with Evly, our proprietary AI customer service agent built on everything we've learned about delivering exceptional customer experiences. The result? A seamlessly blended human + AI support model that helps our clients:

  • Deliver quick email responses in under 10 minutes
  • Offer a true round-the-clock experience with 24/7 support
  • Achieve 83%+ CSAT scores
  • Resolve 97% of disputes

The Challenge: One Agent and a Support System Stretched Too Thin

Mili reached out to EverHelp as a growing SaaS project whose support capacity prevented them from growing its business operations. Their customer service looked like this:

  • 1 support agent handling 215 monthly customer requests
  • First reply time stood at 207 hours, with an average response time of around 205 hours
  • Full issue resolution stretched up to 250 hours, meaning some users went over 10 days without a resolved case.
  • Customer satisfaction reflected the strain, sitting at just 58.2%, well below any acceptable benchmark.

Our Solution: Introducing a Shared Team To Increase Support Capacity

EverHelp took a structured, end-to-end approach to transforming Mili's support operation, and introduced:

  • Recruitment & training program – developed a robust hiring and onboarding program, building a shared support team capable of processing up to 2,500 monthly requests.

  • Support flow – introduced the macros and tagging system and established clear resolution flows for agents to follow.

  • Escalation processes – created a bug reporting channel and strengthened escalation pathways to ensure complex or unresolved issues are swiftly routed to the right teams without delay.

  • Feedback loop – built a structured system for collecting, analyzing, and integrating user feedback directly into the product, driving ongoing improvements aligned with real user needs.

  • Performance metrics & management – implemented in-depth tracking and analytics across the support team, allowing for continuous improvement and more effective handling of customer inquiries.

  • Monthly product statistics – established regular reporting on performance trends, giving Mili's team clear visibility into support health and areas for development.

The Results: An 11x Leap in Capacity and a 27-Point CSAT Turnaround

Metric What EverHelp has achieved
FRT 4 min (↓99.7%)
ART 5 min (↓99.9%)
CSAT 85% (↑26.8 points)
Monthly Request Capacity 2,500+ (↑11x)

Their professionalism, speed, and willingness to get involved in our processes were impressive.

Looking Ahead

Currently, the Mili product is on idle support, as the client’s primary focus has shifted towards another project. We will continue to handle incoming user queries according to the newly established SLAs until further notice.
