Bloomfire, the AI-powered knowledge management platform pioneering Enterprise Intelligence, partnered with uBreakiFix by Asurion to revolutionize frontline operations across its nationwide network of 685 brick-and-mortar repair locations. The joint case study, presented at Customer Contact Week (CCW) Orlando 2026 by Bloomfire CMO Dan Stradtman and uBreakiFix Senior Director of Product Operations Jarrod Hancock, demonstrated how modern AI-powered search and embedded knowledge eliminated bottlenecks and empowered technicians to self-serve critical repair and partner information at scale.

Quick Intel

  • uBreakiFix cut onboarding time in half by shifting training focus from memorization to hands-on skills, using Bloomfire as the single source of truth.
  • Employees gained 25-35% faster access to accurate answers, increasing confidence and reducing escalations to senior technicians.
  • Service call volume remained stable despite store count growing from 500 to 685+, thanks to self-service capabilities.
  • Average ticket revenue and year-over-year customer experience scores increased through more consistent, informed service delivery.
  • Bloomfire’s “Ask AI” feature surfaced knowledge gaps in real time, enabling rapid content updates and closing gaps before issues escalated.
  • Embedding Bloomfire via single sign-on eliminated “swivel chair” workflows, allowing technicians to access partner rules, warranty policies, and repair procedures without leaving their primary systems.

Overcoming the Tribal Knowledge Trap

Following its 2019 acquisition by Asurion, uBreakiFix expanded rapidly while integrating complex partner programs from Samsung, Google, and major insurance providers—each with unique repair procedures, warranties, and reimbursement rules. The legacy knowledge base embedded in the point-of-sale system proved inadequate, forcing technicians to toggle between systems or rely on senior staff for answers. This created human bottlenecks, inconsistent service, employee frustration, and workarounds such as manually built Google Docs tables of contents.

"We actually had someone on our team who went into our knowledge base and clicked on every single link to build a table of contents in a Google Doc, because that was the only way people could actually find anything," said Hancock during the presentation. "That's embarrassing to admit, but it's the reality when your search doesn't work, and you're asking junior team members to memorize 300-page repair manuals. That’s when we knew we needed a better solution."

Bloomfire’s search-first, AI-powered approach transformed this dynamic. New hires learned how to search effectively alongside core repair and customer service skills. The platform’s natural language “Ask AI” capability provided instant, contextual answers while highlighting unanswered questions for proactive content refinement.

Measurable Impact on Frontline Efficiency and Revenue

By embedding Bloomfire directly into daily workflows, uBreakiFix removed context-switching during high-pressure moments such as device intake and mid-repair validation. Key results included:

  • 25-35% reduction in time to find and trust answers.
  • Onboarding time halved, freeing training capacity for practical skills development.
  • Stable service call volumes amid significant store expansion.
  • Year-over-year gains in customer experience scores and average ticket revenue through consistent, high-quality repairs.

"The uBreakiFix transformation demonstrates a core principle of Enterprise Intelligence: knowledge only creates value when it flows to the people who need it, at the moment they need it," said Dan Stradtman, CMO of Bloomfire. "By embedding AI-powered search directly into frontline workflows, uBreakiFix turned institutional knowledge from a bottleneck into a scalable asset.”

Key Lessons for Scaling Frontline Knowledge

Hancock shared actionable insights for organizations facing similar challenges:

  • Accessibility precedes accountability—teams cannot be held responsible for knowledge that isn’t readily available.
  • Shadow systems and workarounds signal deeper failures in official tools.
  • Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions with full opportunity cost, including engineering time and maintenance burden.
  • Prioritize mature AI implementations with proven longevity over novelty.
  • Invest in specialized search capabilities rather than deferring the problem, as complexity compounds rapidly.

This success follows Bloomfire’s recent Silver Stevie® Award for Best Use of Technology in Customer Service, recognizing its scalable, trusted AI-powered answers.

Bloomfire and uBreakiFix will host a deep-dive webinar on February 24 at 2:00pm EST to explore the transformation in detail. Register here.
