Who's Everhelp?

Everhelp is a Result-as-a-Service ecosystem for customer support outsourcing. We believe great support drives real outcomes, and we deliver just that. That’s why, instead of offering standardized service packages, we first align with each client on their desired targets and then assemble a system of processes, trained agents, and AI technology to reach them.

‍

Since our founding in 2021, we've scaled from 5 employees to 1,000+ agents across 4 continents. We've worked with 125+ clients and received 8 industry awards, which include (but aren’t limited to):

‍

  • №13 rank on Clutch's Top 100 Fastest-Growing Companies list
  • A Gold Stevie® Award as a Customer Service Outsourcing Provider of the Year
  • A Silver Stevie® Award for the Best Use of Technology in Customer Service. 

As we moved to a more complex human + AI support model, Evly, our proprietary AI customer service agent, has become a core part of our operation. Built on everything we've learned about delivering exceptional customer experiences and paired with our expert agents, it helps clients:

‍

  • Respond in under 45 seconds, 24/7, in 30+ languages (90+ with AI)
  • Resolve up to 85% of routine requests through automation
  • Achieve 83%+ CSAT and 76% first contact resolution
  • Maintain a 96% service quality score on ISO 27001- and PCI DSS-certified, GDPR-compliant infrastructure.

Our mission is simple: to turn your support operations into a real growth driver for your business.

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.
