Lotte Homeshopping, one of South Korea's largest e-commerce companies, implemented a conversational AI solution using Sendbird on AWS infrastructure to automate first-tier customer service. The result was a 40% reduction in human agent workload, allowing the team to focus on complex cases requiring personalized attention.

This case demonstrates how the combination of conversational AI with intelligent routing can transform customer service operations at scale, maintaining quality while significantly reducing operational costs.

The Challenge

With millions of customers and a diverse product catalog, Lotte Homeshopping faced an ever-growing volume of customer inquiries — from order tracking and return processing to product questions and complaints.

The majority of interactions were repetitive and followed predictable patterns ("where is my order?", "how do I return?", "is this product available?"), but each one consumed time from human agents who could have been dedicated to more complex and high-value cases.

The Solution

The implemented solution combines several layers of automation:

Intelligent Triage: AI classifies each incoming request by type, urgency, and complexity

Automated Resolution: Frequently asked questions and simple processes (order tracking, return status) are resolved entirely by AI

Smart Routing: Complex cases are directed to the most qualified agent based on specialization and availability

Agent Assistance: Even for human-handled cases, AI provides relevant context and recommended responses

The Sendbird infrastructure on AWS ensures scalability to handle demand spikes (such as promotions and holidays) without performance degradation.

Implementation was gradual, starting with the simplest categories and expanding as the model was validated and refined.

Results and Impact

The main result was a 40% reduction in the workload on human agents, which translated into:

- More time for agents to dedicate to complex and high-value cases - Improvement in CSAT for complex cases (agents less pressured and more focused) - Reduction in average wait time for all customers - Operational cost savings without team reduction (reallocation to strategic functions) - Scalable infrastructure that handles demand spikes without bottlenecks
