Intro

For over nine years, iostudio has been part of the Navy Partnership (TNP) conducting inbound and outbound calls to convert, prequalify and deliver leads to the U.S. Navy. This effort includes the development and maintenance of a contact management system, staffing subject matter experts (SMEs) to find hard-to-fill leads and leveraging FedRAMP technology to ensure compliance with DoD requirements.

Challenge

The Navy Recruiting Command received hundreds of leads daily from multiple channels but struggled with disconnected systems, manual data hand-offs, and weekend delays. These obstacles slowed recruiter response times, threatening the mission-critical principle: the first to contact is the first to contract.

Solution

iostudio designed and implemented a custom Contact Center Module (CCM) platform to streamline the entire lead management process. By putting all critical data and tools at operators’ fingertips, we enabled meaningful real-time conversations with prospects and immediate connections to recruiters.

Impact

The CCM transformed lead processing, cutting the response timeline from 7 days to just 7 minutes. Prospects could now get questions answered instantly through chat or phone, then be transferred directly to their local recruiter. This one-call/one-click resolution dramatically improved conversion rates and gave the Navy a decisive edge in reaching qualified candidates first.
