Challenges Across Journey, Engagement, and Operations
Serving over five million users in one of the world’s most diverse matchmaking markets, the client was already a household name. However, the scale of operations and evolution of user expectations demanded a deeper, data-driven approach to product experience, campaign targeting, and operational orchestration. Xerago was brought in to enable this transformation through a coordinated experience redesign, martech overhaul, and analytics roadmap, all aligned to measurable business outcomes.
The platform’s user flows were outdated and inconsistent across key conversion paths such as partner search, profile view, and interaction initiation. Drop-offs were high, particularly on mobile.
We mapped all influencing variables and constructed a detailed matrix to guide the redesign process, as described in your source table. Conducted extensive user reviews to validate the matrix and ensure the redesign was based on accurate user insights
User experience audits revealed cluttered layouts, fragmented flow logic, and friction at critical decision moments. For example, compatibility filters and profile suggestions weren’t behaviorally optimized, leading to abandonment before users reached the communication stage. This was further exacerbated on mobile where real estate constraints amplified UX issues.
Campaigns were being executed in bulk without segment-specific targeting. Communication lacked relevance, especially for high-value user categories like Elite and Privilege users.
Despite having rich profile data and behavioral markers, the platform’s communication engine treated its base monolithically. High-value users, who expected exclusivity, privacy, and concierge-like interaction, were receiving the same batch messages as general users, resulting in missed engagement opportunities and perception erosion.
Lead handling at the call center was unstructured, allocation was manual, mismatched by language, and lacked prioritization. Despite increasing volumes, conversion rates remained stagnant.
Call center operations struggled to scale with demand. Leads were routed manually, often ignoring user preferences, language compatibility, or readiness signals. This created a mismatch between lead potential and agent assignment, leading to lost conversion windows and inefficient resource use.
On the marketing front, budget decisions were intuition-led. Without attribution or unified measurement, channel effectiveness could not be quantified.
Although spend levels were high across digital and offline channels, campaign performance couldn’t be traced back to business results. This led to a ‘spray and pray’ approach with limited feedback loops for optimization.
Experience Redesign Anchored in Behavioral Mapping
Xerago performed a full journey audit and mapped behavioral variables influencing decision paths, drop-offs, and engagement peaks.
We developed 12 comprehensive templates that covered the entire product suite, including prospecting, matchmaking, astrological search, and success stories. Enhanced user interfaces and interactions based on user feedback and analysis.
Using heatmaps, funnel analytics, and interaction logs, the team isolated specific micro-moments that caused user fatigue or drop-off. These insights fed into an experience optimization blueprint, categorizing fixes into quick wins, structural gaps, and design system overhauls.
A dynamic experience matrix was developed to guide template redesign across twelve flows. These covered core journeys like compatibility search, profile recommendations, astrological filters, and success stories.
Each flow was evaluated across parameters like relevance, response effort, visual clarity, and motivational prompts. This led to the development of personalized, dynamically adaptive templates that reduced navigation effort and amplified user intent.
In parallel, over 300 microsites were launched for different communities with tailored content, regional structure, and local language UX components.
Recognizing India’s linguistic and cultural diversity, Xerago partnered with local content teams to create hyperlocal experiences that felt native, trustworthy, and community-specific.
The new structure significantly improved flow alignment and reduced journey fatigue, resulting in a 55% improvement in match rates and a 73% increase in active usage.
These experience gains had a flywheel effect, higher match rates led to more profile completions and peer referrals, organically boosting acquisition while improving downstream monetization metrics.
Segment-Centric Communication Architecture
Xerago helped transition the platform from campaign-based outreach to segment-specific engagement models.
The legacy campaign model was replaced with a segment-aware messaging architecture that used demographics, usage patterns, and intent signals to trigger personalized streams.
For Community users, the mix included regional TV, print, and digital campaigns. Privilege users were engaged through outbound centers and store RMs. Elite users received curated digital communication, social proof, and peer outreach.
Each audience tier was mapped to its own channel-mix blueprint. For example, while Privilege users responded well to a mix of digital prompts and human outreach, Elite users required soft-sell strategies like peer endorsements and curated matchmaking advice.
All segment streams were powered by a shared intelligence layer for campaign orchestration and performance tracking. This led to a 42% increase in segment engagement and a 37% rise in lead conversions.
The intelligence layer enabled continuous feedback across user segments, allowing campaigns to self-optimize over time based on real-time performance signals.
Automated Lead Distribution and Call Center Routing
Lead assignment to tele-sales agents was reengineered through an intelligent logic-driven distribution system.
Xerago implemented Equal Distribution, Domain-Based, and Vintage-Based logic into IBM Campaign and DB2, improving match quality between leads and agents.
Equal Distribution ensured balanced workloads. Domain-Based logic aligned leads to agent strengths (e.g., language, community familiarity), while Vintage logic prioritized fresher leads to increased closure likelihood.
The optimized workflow increased call center efficiency to 3,500 outbound calls per day, raising average daily conversions from 80 to 135. Within one quarter, lead-to-sale conversion grew by 30%, contributing to a 6% increase in direct sales.
This improvement not only reduced agent idle time but also strengthened the relationship between customer interest and sales responsiveness, unlocking faster conversions and better CSAT.
Marketing Attribution and Spend Optimization
A centralized DataMart and Tableau reporting layer were established to unify performance measurement across channels.
The new DataMart ingested inputs from CRM, campaign systems, digital platforms, and offline logs to create a 360° view of engagement and attribution.
Xerago introduced channel-agnostic ROI metrics and developed a multi-touch attribution framework to track impact by source and stage.
This ensured that each campaign, ad, or touchpoint was evaluated on its true business impact, across discovery, engagement, and conversion moments.
This enabled real-time budget reallocation based on performance insights. Channel efficiency improved by 40%, while accuracy of ROI measurement rose by 35%.
Marketers could now defend spends with confidence and shift funds dynamically toward top-performing channels, leading to leaner, smarter campaign planning.
Real-Time Personalization Infrastructure
To support moment-based engagement, Xerago deployed IBM Interact, SPSS, and Cognos across digital, voice, and mobile channels.
These systems worked together to deliver dynamic personalization across user journeys, whether it was a login homepage, a call center conversation, or a mobile push alert.
Custom APIs were developed to allow dynamic offer rendering and score-triggered campaign execution based on churn, upsell, or risk signals.
Real-time models monitored behavioral signals like repeated search, inactivity, or service feedback to personalize experiences instantly and non-intrusively.
When IBM PCI was sunset, the prediction infrastructure was rebuilt using an open, cloud-native stack featuring Python, H2O, AutoML, and Apache Airflow , preserving business continuity with no disruption.
This forward-looking migration ensured predictive intelligence continued uninterrupted while improving scalability and cost-efficiency for future use cases.
