The Problem

Powerful, but Not Built for Scale.

How to make Regal's platform more flexible and self-serve?

As Regal started serving more users, there was a clear signal that while the early state of Regal was powerful, it was not robust or flexible enough to accommodate the unique needs of our users:

Sales Agents

The current state (built on a third-party platform) had limited functionality so it was best suited for agents working for businesses with shorter sales cycles and high volume of leads.

Old Agent Desktop

Sales Leaders

The configuration of Regal's core features — data-driven automation, journey management, key CCaaS capabilities — were not exposed for self-service and fell entirely on Regal's CS team.

Takeaway

To scale, Regal needed to evolve the Agent Desktop into a flexible tool that accommodates different agent workflows — and give leaders a self-serve platform to configure and manage on their own.

The Solution

A Complete Suite, Built for Scale.

Pioneering a high-touch, data-driven approach to CCaaS.

Regal's vision was to pioneer a new "high-touch", data-driven, and cost-effective approach to CCaaS. To realize that goal, the platform needed to evolve — introducing self-serve capabilities, a unified customer view, and an improved agent experience built for flexibility and efficiency.

For Agents

Effective Agent Tooling

Flexible workstation with omni-channel capabilities — calls, SMS, and email in one place.

For Managers

Effective Manager Tooling

Self-serve automation and orchestration — no reliance on Regal's team to manage workflows.

For the Platform

Customer Data Ingestion

A source of truth that powers data-driven decisions and surfaces the right context at the right time.

Takeaway

These table stakes laid the groundwork for Regal to reimagine the sales cycle — empowering brands to engage customers with precision, consistency, and a human touch at every stage.

Shadowing Agents and User Interviews with Sales Leaders

To inform overall product decisions, I conducted shadowing and interview sessions to develop personas that shaped how we approached each body of work.

Three Areas, One Platform.

Agent Desktop · Journey Builder · Custom Objects

Over the span of a few years, the Regal team iteratively worked towards bringing the product vision to life. This case study highlights a few of Regal's table stake features:

Agent Desktop

Improved workflows for agents

Journey Builder

Automation tool that bridges marketing & sales

Custom Objects

Extend data models that power automation and enhance agent workflows

Takeaway

Each table stake was designed and built to empower our users to reach their revenue goals effectively and efficiently.

Design 01 — Agent Desktop

A Workstation Built for Real Agents.

Rebuilding the core agent experience from the ground up.

Agent Desktop is the interface where agents interact with leads and manage their tasks. It provides a 360° view of every customer — consolidating every interaction and contact attributes into a unified customer profile — so agents are equipped to personalize conversations and efficiently execute tasks.

"I need everything in one place — my leads, my emails, my tasks. Jumping between tools kills my momentum."

01 — Facelift

A Cohesive, Branded Experience

We stripped out the underlying third-party functionality and UI to create a cohesive, branded experience that optimizes for efficient agent workflows.

02 — Omni-Channel Feed

One Feed, Full Visibility

A single unified feed gives agents full visibility into every call, text, and email with each customer — no more tab-switching, no missing context.

03 — Customer Profile

Context at a Glance

Customer properties organized into a unified profile — giving agents rich context at their fingertips to personalize every interaction without ever leaving the desktop.

04 — Contact Lists

Own Your Book of Business

Organizes the contacts owned by each agent for easy tracking and management — built for Ollie Owner agents who run longer sales cycles and need to own their pipeline.

Design 02 — Journey Builder

Automating The Right Message at the Right Time.

Automating Orchestration for Managers

Journey Builder automates customer interactions by orchestrating personalized, cross-channel communication journeys. Using triggers based on real time customer behavior, it sends targeted messages via phone, SMS, or email — automatically at the right moment — guiding customers through tailored experiences that drive engagement and conversion. Journey ensures timely, relevant outreach from initial contact to long-term retention.

Automated Outreach

"I need a way to automatically guide customers through their journey — sending relevant, personalized outreach without my team having to manage each step manually."

Sales Leader, Discovery Research

01 — Self-Serve Builder

Map Every Step, Visually

Map out every step of a customer journey visually and precisely — no engineering required, no tickets to Regal's team.

02 — Journey Nodes

Robust Building Blocks

Drag-and-drop components that define the exact sequence of a customer journey — triggers, timing, conditions, and actions all in one canvas.

03 — Node Configuration

Configure Every Step

Fully customize each step of the journey with node-level configuration — set conditions, timing windows, and channel-specific logic without leaving the canvas.

Self-Serve Journey Builder Journey Nodes Node Configuration
Design 03 — Custom Objects

CRM-Powered Context.

Complete Customer View via Data Integrations

Custom Objects are flexible data structures that allow businesses to store and manage information unique to their needs — beyond standard contacts or accounts. Surfaced directly on the Agent Desktop, they give agents a more complete view of the customer, and give managers deeper insights to optimize workflows, track key metrics, and make more strategic decisions.

"Our customer data sits in Salesforce — I need a seamless way to surface it in Regal so my team has what they need without switching between platforms."

Sales Leader, Discovery Research

01 — Agent Desktop

Full Context, No Tab-Switching

Custom Objects surfaced in customer profile section alongside the omni-channel feed on the Agent Desktop — giving agents a complete view of the customer in one place.

02 — Object Builder

Build Custom Objects Within Regal

Configure how Custom Objects are displayed on the Agent Desktop via an easy-to-use admin — define the structure, set visibility, and tailor what each team sees.

03 — Attributes

Organize Data Your Way

Customize the way customer data is structured by mapping real-time event data and setting up unique identifiers and attributes.

04 — Data Integration

A Living Source of Truth

Event data flows in automatically to update and maintain all customer data — so agents are always working from the source of truth.

Outcome

Built to scale — and built to last.

From outbound dialer to full-suite, self-serve contact center platform.

Over the course of several years, Regal evolved from a powerful but narrowly focused outbound dialer into a robust, flexible, and self-serve contact center platform. By introducing foundational features like an improved Agent Desktop, a self-serve Journey Builder, and Custom Objects, we enabled our users to work more efficiently, personalize interactions at scale, and manage their data in ways that matched their unique workflows — aligning Regal's product capabilities with its long-term vision of providing high-touch, data-driven customer experiences.
