Demonstration project · not a client case study

Connected customer journey

From disconnected web enquiries to a traceable service-delivery workflow.

This illustrative scenario combines common problems seen in growing service organisations. It shows the decisions, workflow and measurement plan DesignEpic would use; it is not presented as a completed client engagement or a quantified client result.

The situation

Demand exists, but the handoffs create friction.

A growing professional-services organisation has a credible website and capable delivery team, yet customer context is lost between marketing, sales and service operations.

The goal is not to buy more tools. It is to design one traceable path from first interaction through qualified enquiry, delivery and improvement.

Enquiries arrive without enough context

The team repeats discovery questions and cannot reliably distinguish urgent, valuable or poorly matched requests.

Customer data and delivery work are separated

CRM records, email threads and delivery tasks do not share ownership, status or a consistent reference.

Reporting stops at clicks and leads

Marketing activity is visible, but the organisation cannot connect sources with qualified opportunities, service progress or outcomes.

Follow-up depends on individual memory

Customer updates, internal escalations and improvement actions vary by person and workload.

The target journey

Capture context once, then move it with the work.

Each stage has a clear purpose, owner, system record and measurable handoff.

01

Attract

Use-case content and search journeys help the right audience recognise the problem.

02

Qualify

A guided enquiry captures outcome, urgency, constraints, consent and source context.

03

Route

CRM rules create ownership, response tasks and a shared customer reference.

04

Deliver

Jira or JSM coordinates work, requests, knowledge, updates and exceptions.

05

Improve

Reporting connects demand, qualification, delivery and experience signals.

Solution blueprint

Four connected layers with explicit responsibilities.

The implementation can use the organisation’s current platforms where they are suitable. The architecture is defined by the information and ownership required at each handoff.

Experience

Website & use-case content

Clear problem framing, proof, relevant next steps and accessible guided enquiry.

Customer system

CRM & automation

Customer record, source attribution, qualification, task routing and response service level.

Work system

Jira, JSM & Confluence

Delivery workflow, service requests, knowledge, approvals, exceptions and status.

Evidence

Analytics & reporting

Journey events, qualified demand, response performance, delivery flow and improvement backlog.

What would be delivered

Decision-support artifacts and working system components.

A real engagement would confirm platform fit, permissions, data handling, owners and integration limits before implementation.

Journey and information design

  • Current-state and target-state journey map
  • Information captured at each handoff
  • Ownership, escalation and service-level decisions
  • Consent, retention and access requirements

Customer experience

  • Use-case content and conversion paths
  • Guided, conditional project enquiry
  • Confirmation and expectation-setting messages
  • Source attribution and event taxonomy

CRM and work management

  • Customer and opportunity record model
  • Routing, follow-up and exception automation
  • Delivery request types and workflow
  • Knowledge, status and handover patterns

Reporting and enablement

  • Operational and customer-journey dashboard
  • Data-quality and ownership checks
  • Admin documentation and team walkthrough
  • Prioritised improvement backlog

Measurement plan

Prove whether the connected journey is working.

Targets would be agreed only after a reliable baseline. This demonstration defines the measures without inventing performance numbers.

Journey stage
Measure
Decision supported
Attract
Relevant use-case visits, engaged journeys and qualified-source mix
Which problems and channels attract the right audience?
Qualify
Completion, qualification, consent and required-context quality
Does the enquiry journey reduce rework without blocking good opportunities?
Route
Time to owner, time to first useful response and routing exceptions
Are customer requests reaching the right person reliably?
Deliver
Cycle time, blocked work, request ageing, rework and customer updates
Where does delivery slow down or lose customer context?
Improve
Outcome trend, data quality, backlog value and completed improvements
Which constraint should the organisation improve next?
