Industry services

Centralized customer operations with local business rules.

Create one operating standard while preserving differences in territory, hours, services, calendars, and escalation contacts.

Multi-Location Customer Care

Answer approved questions and service requests using shared brand standards and location context.

Lead and Territory Routing

Network Reporting and QA

Give brand leaders visibility into customer demand, location trends, and adherence to shared standards.

Action through technology

See customer experience across locations, not just in aggregate.

Every Customer Direct program includes Happitu, our proprietary AI platform for conversation intelligence and Auto-QA. Configured around your franchise operation, it surfaces local demand, recurring complaints, brand inconsistency, market-to-market differences, and coaching opportunities. These insights go beyond what even the best-trained agents can report on their own.

Location-level call reasons and outcomes

Classify location-level call reasons and outcomes to see demand and friction across the network.

Brand consistency and quality signals

Connect brand-consistency and routing signals to the locations and territories responsible for customer friction.

Territory and routing performance

Auto-QA evaluates every eligible call against shared brand standards. Customer Direct uses the results to identify gaps, coach agents, and track improvement.
