    Unifying customer communication with Dynamics 365 Omnichannel

    As customer interactions spread across countless channels, INEFOP reached a breaking point that demanded a unified, modern solution.

    Service

    INEFOP was juggling customer requests across dozens of separate channels - WhatsApp, email, web portal, phone, and more - with data scattered and inconsistent. By unifying everything through Dynamics 365 Omnichannel, they transformed their customer service into a seamless, efficient system with a complete 360° view of interactions and faster, more reliable support.

    About the company

    INEFOP is a tripartite, non-state public entity in Uruguay. While operating as a public organization, it fosters collaboration between the public and private sectors. Its mission is to improve employability through professional training and development. INEFOP provides a wide range of services, including job placement, internships, and professional training courses, with the goal of enhancing individual and organizational skills, expanding employment opportunities, and supporting economic growth.

    Challenge

    INEFOP engages with customers through multiple communication channels: in-person visits, WhatsApp, SMS, email, its web portal, and more. However, each channel previously operated in isolation, often using separate systems that did not share information or maintain a complete interaction history. This resulted in:

    • Duplicated and inconsistent customer information across systems.
    • Outdated or incomplete records.
    • Discrepancies, such as issues resolved in one channel still appearing as open in another.

    As a result, both customers and staff experienced frustration and delays.

    Solution

    To address these challenges, INEFOP implemented Dynamics 365 Customer Service with the Omnichannel for Customer Service add-on, consolidating all communication channels into a single, unified platform.
    Key improvements included:

    • Unified case management: Staff assisting customers by phone, email, chat, or in person can log and track all interactions in Dynamics 365, with visibility into any other open tickets across channels.
    • Centralized knowledge base: Agents gained access to a shared knowledge base supported by AI to suggest relevant articles, assist in writing responses, and provide scripts tailored to the conversation.
    • Seamless experience: Customers can begin an interaction in one channel and continue it smoothly in another (e.g., chat to phone call), without losing context.
