Case Study

Achieving 99% Quality Scores for Global Retailer

DDC_CS-01

Summary

Our client is a global headwear and apparel manufacturer and retailer across the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia, which has been operating since the 1920s. Their success has led to them being the first brand in sports history to have exclusive on-field, sideline, and on-court headwear rights globally for all three major U.S. leagues simultaneously.

New Era emphasizes authenticity, quality craftmanship, and storytelling. It has evolved from a family-run business into a lifestyle brand that resonates with fans, athletes, and creatives worldwide.

Client Needs

Over five years ago, New Era Cap began the search for an outsourcing partner capable of managing multilingual customer service demands and handling spikes in contact volume.

At the time, customer issues were being managed by in-country account managers, which often resulted in missed communication and diverted attention from their core responsibilities. As a customer-centric brand, they decided to move to an outsourced customer service model with The DDC Group.

 

The client's objective was to create a centralized team that could manage customer inquiries across five markets and languages, ensuring timely responses and a consistently high-quality experience for both customers and the business. This strategic move not only enhanced service delivery but also allowed for a long-term partner who would maintain brand integrity and deliver exceptional service qualities they found in The DDC Group.
