CASE STUDY
Automation in Jira Makes Customer Ticket Resolution Time 83% Faster for a Healthcare Finance Company
The Challenge
The organization was using a cumbersome and complex combination of emails, multiple tools, and manual intervention in its operations for providing root cause analysis (RCA) / root cause investigation (RCI) to customers. Working manually meant more errors and less time left for strengthening core business practices. Alternating between multiple tools to fetch data created a chaotic work experience. Turn-around times took longer than expected, and work requests were often missed by technicians constantly struggling with an overwhelming workload.
Approach to Change
Trundl participated in weekly stand-up meetings and evaluated the progress iteratively, together with the customer. Smoke tests were conducted before proceeding with different stages of the project, and gaps between requirements and outcomes were bridged with necessary modifications. Improvements were made to the system during the project as needed. As the company was new to Jira, Trundl’s technical team walked them through everything and even helped them from time to time with administrative tasks.

Post Implementation Outcomes
Maximizing automations between Jira and Salesforce dramatically improved velocity. Prior to the enhancements, the company’s customer support team had to pause and check details in Salesforce every time they received a support ticket. The average ticket took 4 hours for resolution. Post enhancements, that was reduced to 40 minutes on average (83% less).
