Overview

About Bokksu & the Project

Bokksu is a subscription-based e-commerce company that delivers curated Japanese snacks and cultural experiences to customers worldwide, facing a sharp rise in support inquiries as the business expanded internationally.

The Challenge

Support Demand Outpacing Team Capacity

As orders increased, Bokksu’s support team spent most of its time on repetitive inquiries like order tracking and subscription management, leading to high ticket volumes, rising response times, and limited scalability during peak seasons.
