Fintech case study

Cutting handle time on a 200-agent contact centre with D365 omnichannel routing

How a mid-market wealth-management firm consolidated email, chat, voice and WhatsApp onto Dynamics 365 Customer Service with unified routing and Copilot suggestions. -38% handle time, +22% CSAT, 9 weeks to go-live.

The Challenge

Where the customer was when they called us

The customer ran a 200-agent contact centre across 3 cities serving high-net-worth clients. Email lived in Outlook PSTs, chat in a third-party widget, voice on an on-premise PBX, and WhatsApp on personal devices. SLAs were defined per channel; nothing rolled up to a single dashboard. Average handle time on portfolio queries had crept above 14 minutes, agent ramp-up took 11 weeks, and supervisors had no real-time visibility — only end-of-day spreadsheets.

The compliance team also wanted every interaction to be searchable and exportable for regulator audits, which the legacy stack could not satisfy without weeks of manual reconciliation.

What we built

The solution architecture

  • Dynamics 365 Customer Service with omnichannel for Customer Service licensed for all 200 agents.
  • Unified routing rules: skill-based + capacity-aware + customer-segment priority across 4 channels.
  • Microsoft Teams voice integration replaced the legacy PBX; chat embedded on the customer portal.
  • WhatsApp Business API connected via Azure Communication Services; conversations archived in Dataverse.
  • Copilot in Customer Service for case summarization, similar-case suggestions and email-draft assist.
  • Power BI supervisor dashboards: queue length, agent utilization, FCR and CSAT in real time.
  • Knowledge management with semantic search; articles tagged to product lines for Copilot grounding.
