Benefits
Significant Cost Reduction
Imagine the cost savings if you could reduce a significant proportion of the inbound calls or enquiries to your Contact Centre. As well as improving customer satisfaction, organisations implementing AI chatbots are seeing payback periods within months by successfully enabling customers to self-serve for simple queries.
Enable Self Service
With the power of AI, customers can resolve issues without needing to reach your contact centre agents. From general FAQs to application or form submissions and payment transactions, AI powered chatbots enable customers to self-serve so that your contact centre agents can focus on customers that need extra support or have more complex enquiries.
Save Agent Time
Chatbots are able to deflect a huge percentage of inbound calls and webchats from ever reaching the Contact Centre Agent by automating simple, repetitive queries. The information gathered via the chatbot enables intelligent call routing, and reduced average call handling times.
Channel of Choice
AI powered chatbots are delivered across multiple channels. Whether it's on a web portal, browser, mobile app, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, SMS or IVR, the customer gets the same service with the same automation, meaning customer experience is consistent across all channels.
Always Available
Provide great customer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Today's customers expect to be able to get answers at any time of day or night. Virtual assistants mean you can answer or triage customer enquiries round the clock without having to schedule human agents.
Compliant and Scalable
Utilising AI reduces the potential for human error. AI doesn't forget, mistype, get distracted or have a bad day. Plus you can set rules that will ensure you 're always compliant with the relevant legislation. Virtual assistants are also highly scalable and therefore perfectly suited for coping with unpredicted spikes in demand.

How does it work?
For self-service to work effectively, it must replicate what a great Customer Service agent would do to provide a seamless user experience. An agent will have access to many different applications where they can retrieve information, follow processes, perform transactions, update the relevant systems and record the interaction.
Our solutions become a central hub for inter-connecting disparate systems. Utilising Open API’s we enable the chatbot to integrate with all relevant business applications such as your ERP, CRM and Contact Centre systems, as well as sector specific applications.
Our AI powered platforms are trained to access the information required to answer customer queries from documents, knowledge bases, databases, product manuals, business applications such as CRM & Service Desk. Machine Learning allows the chatbot to continuously improve from customer interactions.
