The impact of Hark's platform has already been felt by a number of prominent brands, including Hexclad, Branch Furniture, Ouai Beauty, Fab Fit Fun, and Ooni, where the implementation of Hark has resulted in a remarkable 20% increase in Customer Satisfaction (CSAT). Testimonials from industry leaders such as Michael Ludwig, Head of Customer Service at Hexclad, highlight the tangible benefits of using Hark, including a 79% improvement in average resolution time, significant cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction.
