关于客户
Universe.com is one of the biggest marketplaces in the world, hosting a wide range of events. The platform has experienced rapid growth, expanding to over 3 million active users across the globe. However, with this growth came an increase in fraudulent listings and spambot attacks, threatening the integrity of their platform. The company's goal is to maintain platform integrity and customer trust while continuing to grow and expand into new markets. They aim to provide an abuse-free user experience and ensure that their hosts and users are happy and engaged. Universe.com is also looking to explore new opportunities globally while remaining a leader in the events marketplace.
挑战
Universe.com, a global events marketplace, was experiencing an increase in fraudulent listings and spambot attacks as it expanded to over 3 million active users worldwide. The volume of event listings, hosts, and users was increasing rapidly, escalating the risks and potential impact of spam, scams, and other fraudulent activity. The attacks were becoming more sophisticated and harder to address. A major client's event was attacked, which was a pivotal moment for Universe. They didn't want customers to hesitate to host major events for fear of attacks. The fraud team was constantly playing catch up. If a fraudulent event was posted or a spambot started messaging thousands of users, the team would only find out about it once it was too late. Each attack meant multiple developers would have to drop what they were working on to address the issue in time.
解决方案
Universe decided to partner with Sift to provide a holistic fraud and abuse solution. They chose Sift over other vendors due to the compelling testimonials from Sift’s customers and its global network of 6,000+ customers. Sift's Content Abuse Prevention and Digital Trust Platform were implemented to evaluate host and user behavior and posted content to ensure an abuse-free user experience. Sift's solution also helps Universe to detect bad users, stopping them before they can even post content. The onboarding process took only a week to get the model set up so most review could be automated. Sift's machine learning model allows Universe to be proactive in fighting spam, keeping up with the ever-evolving types of spam.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

7-Eleven Philippines Enhances Customer Support with Freshdesk
7-Eleven Philippines, a pioneer of 24-hour convenience stores in the country, was facing challenges with its customer support system.

They also had no visibility into the volume of calls, number of abandoned calls, etc. due to the use of the vendor’s telephony solution. This lack of control and visibility into customer support led the team to decide to bring the entire function in-house. They began exploring helpdesk solutions that would enable them to build a strong in-house support team.

Aramex, an international express, mail delivery, and logistics services company based in Dubai, was facing challenges in delivering consistent, quality IT services and support to its employees.
