Bethany, CT — LATICRETE International today announced the next evolution of its customer service experience, building on its reputation for excellence and service across every customer interaction. Through the implementation of Microsoft Contact Center, LATICRETE is redefining how customers engage with its Customer and Technical Services teams.
The new Contact Center, infused with AI, creates a true omnichannel experience. As a result, LATICRETE’s Customer and Technical Services teams have the full context of each customer’s history, reducing handoffs and eliminating the need for customers to repeat information as conversations move forward. This leads to more consistent, informed support from start to finish.
“This is about raising the bar on an experience our customers already trust,” said Giri Peddinti, Chief Information Officer of LATICRETE International. “We’re making it easier for customers to connect with us and easier for our teams to deliver the level of service LATICRETE is known for.”
LATICRETE partnered with JourneyTeam, a Microsoft solutions partner, to help design and implement the Contact Center to support both the company’s long‑term vision while reinforcing its customer‑first culture.
“LATICRETE approached this with a clear view of where they want to go as an organization,” said Biplab Mandal, Chief Operating Officer at JourneyTeam. “The Contact Center is not just a point solution. It’s a foundation that supports scale, consistency, and future innovation without disrupting how their teams already work.”
Peddiniti added a sincere thank you to Microsoft and JourneyTeam for their collaboration and support of this transformational change. “This is another milestone in building the connected enterprise of the future,” he said.
