Hulu customer service is ‘hurdle-free’
HULU customer service has become so automated that it’s been dubbed “the Hulu customer care system”, thanks to a program to streamline the process.
The company’s automated customer service teams are tasked with delivering Hulu-branded updates to customers, which is why the service was first launched in 2014, and has since expanded to include updates to the HBO Go app and to Hulu Plus.
While Hulu’s automated systems may seem like a waste of human effort, the service’s engineers have found a way to make it so the company can maintain its customer service infrastructure.
“We use a process called automatic service delivery to deliver updates to subscribers to keep the Hulu platform running as efficiently as possible,” Hulu’s VP of customer support, Tom McManus, told TechCrunch.
“Automated service delivery means we’re able to maintain the delivery of updates to our subscribers without having to manually deliver updates.
This is a big win for our customers.”
Hulu’s automated processes have made the company able to keep its customers happy, but also reduce the cost of its updates.
According to Hulu, its customer support process cost an average of $7.20 per customer per day.
With the automatic system, McManuses claims that the company has been able to save $30 per day in shipping costs, which the company says will have a significant impact on the cost to keep people subscribing to the service.
The process is a part of Hulu’s “sustained innovation”, a strategy McManUS says was developed in response to the rise of Netflix.
Hulu, he said, “wants to make Hulu a better experience for everyone who uses Hulu.”
It’s also part of a broader strategy that has been a long time in the making, and will help the company avoid future problems.
Hulu is one of the first streaming services to launch in 2017, and it has been trying to compete with Amazon’s Prime Video for years.
But while Netflix has been selling millions of channels a day, Hulu has been losing money.
Netflix’s streaming revenues have plummeted by about 50% from its peak of $6.2 billion in 2017 to $1.9 billion in 2018, and the service is currently $1 billion behind Amazon Prime Video.
Hollywood studios are also paying more for content, and they’ve begun to worry about the future of Hulu.
The streaming service’s recent acquisition of streaming rights to Universal Music and the loss of a lot of exclusive rights have been bad for movie studios.
Hulk Studios, which owns the rights to films like “Pitch Perfect 2”, “Captain America: Civil War” and “X-Men: Apocalypse”, is concerned that its future will be at risk.HULU has been hiring, and hiring, more staff.
McManus has also been talking to investors about how to improve the service, and he says Hulu has learned from its mistakes.
There are still many questions about Hulu’s customer service system, including how long it will last, how the company will pay for updates and how much it will spend on advertising.
McGuire says the service has been built with the purpose of improving its customer experience and is being built on top of the best existing tools in the industry.
But Hulu has also had to overcome its own unique challenges, which McManius says “don’t lend themselves to automated processes”.
Hulu says that the automatic process is only one part of its business model.
It has also struggled to attract new customers to its service, which has struggled to reach any significant numbers of people.
The service is also struggling to gain traction with Hulu Plus subscribers, who have been stuck on a trial version of the service because the company was unable to secure a wider audience.
McMenus says that it is not easy for Hulu to get new users to sign up for the service and that it has to find new ways to attract them.
“Our business model is really dependent on our existing customers,” McManis said.
“There are going to be challenges that come with that.”
