If we didn't have Talkdesk, most likely, we would go to... we would be on our fourth or fifth provider. Every two years we were changing providers because our business was evolving. The enterprise, the way we were moving as an enterprise company was getting more complex. And most of the tools were only solving part of the problem. We can do it best in class for the US or best in class for Europe, that doesn't solve our needs. So we were getting to a point that either we... if we didn't have Talkdesk as a unified provider, we probably would like to go with three different providers for different regions. And that would be a mess from an integration perspective. I probably would need double the size of the team I have today, just to manage that, which is scary just to think about it. So Talkdesk integrates quite well with our ecosystem, with Salesforce and the other tools we use. And having so many different carriers and providers for different parts of the business, I don't even know how this integration would work, so we probably would be limited on the perception we have from the overall business. And today, we can make decisions informed from that overall business perception. And I think that's very powerful, on the decision-making process because we can rely on one partner that knows and understands our end-to-end business.

"I’m a big advocate for using automation to enhance human capabilities. We have expanded our use of the AI and automation features within Talkdesk, such as Talkdesk Copilot. New agents can face a big learning curve during the first 30 days of a new job: Talkdesk Copilot offers agents real-time tips and information based on their conversation with a customer. It helps new agents feel more supported and keeps them motivated."
André Cavaco Leitão Global Director, Workforce Optimization at Farfetch
Farfetch faced challenges that highlighted the need for scalable solutions. Their contact center suffered from service and quality issues, with audio delays of three to four seconds during calls—creating a poor experience for both customers and agents. Expansion was also difficult, as replicating systems in new countries proved complex and inefficient.
Farfetch implemented Talkdesk CX Cloud™, Talkdesk Copilot™, and Talkdesk Studio™ to remove complexity, ensure strong ROI, and enable AI and automation at scale. With CXA at work behind every interaction, these solutions support new agents, keep teams motivated, and help experienced agents boost agility and productivity.
The results speak volumes: a 30% workload increase with only a 12% payroll increase, showcasing significant productivity gains. Farfetch achieved 40% cost efficiencies—half directly attributed to Talkdesk.
