Overview

Brookstone Windows & Doors struggled with a basic phone system that offered zero visibility into agent performance or the customer journey. By adopting RingEX and AI Conversation Expert (ACE), they shifted from manual, random spot-checks to total oversight of every interaction. This data-driven approach has fueled their expansion across Ontario, with plans to quadruple their agent head count to meet rising demand.
RingCentral AI Conversation Expert allows us to analyze 100% of call recordings, conversation, and interaction. What once took 600 hours of listening is now minutes of review with summarized transcript, smart tagging, and critical moments.

About our customer

Brookstone Windows & Doors, based in Ontario, has established itself as a leading specialist in high-quality home replacements since its founding. The company operates with a customer-obsessed philosophy, ensuring that every window and door installation enhances a home’s energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.

The challenge: Operating in the dark with limited insights

Before upgrading to RingEX and AI Conversation Expert (ACE), the team relied on a rudimentary phone system that lacked the essential tools needed for a modern contact center. Management spent upwards of 16 hours every week—often sacrificing weekends—to manually hunt for call recordings to use for coaching. Because they could only audit a "tiny sliver" of total volume, they frequently missed early warning signs of customer frustration and scheduling errors until they escalated into major issues.
 
  • Manual Oversight: Managers were forced to randomly select calls, leaving the vast majority of customer interactions unmonitored.
  • Lack of Context: Agents handled complex renovation projects without a full history of the customer's previous interactions or project needs.
  • Invisible Trends: Without AI analytics, the company could not track call volumes or performance metrics effectively for workforce planning.

The solution and ROI: Data-driven coaching at scale

To overcome the limitations of their legacy hardware, Brookstone moved to an integrated communication suite powered by RingEX and ACE. By shifting from anecdotal feedback to objective analytics, they empower their staff to take ownership of the customer experience and improve conversion rates.
 
  • RingEX streamlines inbound and outbound queues, contributing to a 5-8% decrease in average handle time across their 11 active markets.
  • ACE processes 600 hours of monthly call volume in mere minutes, allowing the team to identify objections and sentiments across 100% of recordings.
  • ACE generates instant transcripts and "smart tags," which agents use to independently review their own performance and identify improvement opportunities.

What’s next for Brookstone Windows & Doors

Brookstone is currently preparing for a major push into the Toronto market as they look to grow their team from 14 to 50 agents. Following the success of ACE streamlining and improving the company’s contact center, the leadership team is exploring ways to implement these intelligence capabilities across other departments to further refine their lead qualification process. This transition ensures that a company built on traditional craftsmanship continues to lead the industry by embracing the speed and precision of modern AI.
