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.

Chatbots integrate with contact centre systems, CRM and housing management systems to provide integrated answers to all customer queries.
Chatbots are saving housing providers money and employee time by streamlining repairs and maintenance. From fault diagnosis and suggested resolutions, to booking or modifying appointments, sending reminders, confirmations and tracking estimated arrival times; chatbots are improving the customer experience, reducing wasted appointments and saving money.
Utilities
As regulated businesses, the opportunities offered by chatbots to control costs while improving the customer experience makes them invaluable to the utilities sector. From dealing with spikes in service enquiries triggered by extreme weather to continuing to provide services throughout the pandemic, utilities customers have been some of the most eager adopters of AI technology.
Utilities customers are using chatbots to respond to customer account and billing queries. Chatbots are saving utilities companies untold agent hours by managing appointments with customers for necessary installations, repairs or routine maintenance; the bot can proactively book or modify appointments, send reminders and confirmations, track estimated arrival times and thereby reduce wasted appointments.
Financial Services
Chatbots can take on a huge percentage of finance services queries, from answering basic questions such as "when's my next loan payment due" or "what's my credit card balance?" to solving issues such as retrieving passwords or immediate registering and acting on fraud or hacking concerns. A chatbot can help instantly or triage and connect a customer directly to a live agent.
Chatbots can take up non-complex banking tasks such as processing payments or handling simple transactions and can provide information on banking products, accounts or actions; helping the customer monitor spend, review account information, and more.
Insurance
A chatbot is there 24/7 to automate FAQs and administrative tasks from customers about insurance coverage, premiums, documentation, and filing claims. The chatbot can also take up customer onboarding, billing, and policy renewals. AI powered chatbots can make personalised recommendations about insurance types to engage the customer and connect them with an agent.
Chatbots can help customers fill in forms and applications, and can direct them to help pages or give basic answers, and then connect them to a live agent if their issues are more difficult to solve. Chatbots can also be used to send important notifications and alerts to customers.
Healthcare
From simple FAQs to becoming a full-blown health assistant, chatbots can do so much more than giving tips, they can often help patients apply simple treatments, remind them to take medicine, and monitor their health. Chatbots can be used for patients to search for or book their own appointments, without having to speak to a receptionist. They can provide timely and accurate information on medical procedures, symptoms of illnesses, processes, health insurance, and more.
Chatbots or virtual assistants can help doctors to instantly provide answers on medication, dosages, standards, and more. Government sponsored chatbots have helped ease pressure on the NHS during the pandemic by providing interactive, up-to-the-minute advice via WhatsApp, web browsers or other social channels.
