The Challenge

Circulus operates customer contact services on behalf of nine municipalities, serving a wide variety of target groups ranging from residents to schools and commercial clients. The complexity of multiple knowledge sources and inconsistent communication created several pressing challenges:
  • Fragmented documentation (G-drive, spreadsheets, outdated templates)
  • Inconsistent answers across agents and communication channels
  • High training times for new employees
  • Duplicate efforts in content creation and maintenance


To solve these, Circulus needed a centralized platform that could serve as the single source of truth for all knowledge internal and external.
