Client Challenge

The client’s existing processes to set up new products and enable their orderability from across their large national network of distribution facilities were manual, one-at-a-time, prone to error, and complicated by the fact that the process required integrations with eight other systems. Furthermore, the process needed to support requirements that differed by state. These existing processes delayed orders and were a considerable source of employee dissatisfaction with IT. Success often required undocumented knowledge that only a select number of employees possessed.

The Solution

Deloitte addressed these challenges through an agile and collaborative implementation of a ServiceNow business application integrated with systems of records providing:

• A single, end-to-end process with variations by state as required by regulations and organizational preference
• Tracking, notes, and activity monitoring capabilities that enabled employees to know precisely where the request was in the process at any given time, to know what actions were outstanding, and to collaborate real-time
• Integration with eight other enterprise IT systems with error handling
• The ability to interact with single requests or in bulk 

Value Delivered

• Reduction in time to complete new product requests by over 28%
• The ability to track errors and quickly identify their root cause system
• Clearly measurable service-level agreements (SLAs) and sophisticated key performance indicator reporting
• Increased employee satisfaction 

Client Challenge

The client’s internal and external customers and vendors needed to maintain lists of mailboxes, systems and passwords to interact with different support, service delivery, or customer relations teams. The client’s shared-service and back-office employees worked out of multiple interfaces, their systems lacked interoperability and automation, and their enabling data was fragmented and unstructured. As ticket volumes grew, teams were unable to meet the demand which impacted customer satisfaction. The client entrusted Deloitte to transform service operations and create experiences that delighted customers, vendors, and employees.

The Solution

Deloitte addressed these challenges through an agile and collaborative implementation of a ServiceNow business application, integrated with other out-of-the-box ServiceNow applications and external systems of record such as SAP ERP, Ariba, Fieldglass, CRM, and SuccessFactors to provide:

• A single one-stop-shop for external customers and vendors to manage master data like contacts and payment methods, submit requests/queries such as account reconciliation, financial statement checks, invoice verification, and get support
• A single one-stop-shop for internal customers to manage customer details, submit requests such as manual journal entries, fixed asset add/change/dispose, financial reporting, intercompany accounting, and more
• Always-on, intelligent, and personalized experiences; end-to-end process with variations by geography
• System built to maintain process integrity and streamline auditing

Value Delivered

• Automated or deflected approximately 20% of internal case volumes and 67% of external case volumes
• Localized instance in 8 languages (English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese)
• Clearly measurable service-level agreements (SLAs) and sophisticated key performance indicator reporting
• Increased both customer/vendor satisfaction and employee satisfaction

Client Challenge

A large transportation company was looking to reimagine processes and the employee experience to drive efficiencies and create an enhanced user experience. Deloitte partnered with the client to design and implement a digital platform that brings together disparate data from various source systems, optimizes workflows, enhances collaboration, and enables AI capabilities.

The Solution

Deloitte addressed these challenges through an agile and collaborative implementation of a ServiceNow Customer Service Management (CSM) Workspace for revenue service agents to provide:

• A single one-stop-shop for revenue agents to research, collaborate, and resolve dispute cases eliminating the need to swivel between ten different revenue management, adjust management and re-rate systems
• A digital platform, including a personalized agent workspace, a centralized channel for collaboration, and a consolidated view to act as the one source of truth for all data
• Human-Centered Design approach to understand the user's current state processes, pain points, and opportunities to optimize workflows and enhance the experience of day-to-day work
• A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a single user group to provide immediate value while accelerating delivery timelines; feedback was gathered on the MVP to incorporate into future releases  
• A scalable solution to scale across the additional user groups, integrate with additional systems, and enable AI capabilities to provide intelligent insights

Value Delivered

• The digital solution will drive efficiencies for the organization through improvements in transaction accuracy and time to resolution, as well as increase employee satisfaction and reduce employee attrition
• Productivity improvements by reducing 40 different systems/screens to 2 screens for revenue management agents
• Increased customer satisfaction
