Results
In 3 months of operating, the BSH virtual agent achieved:
25%
Reduction of live agent workload
85%+
Accuracy of customer intent recognition
25,000
Calls handled
Challenges
Customers contact BSH warranty service thousands of times a day, often with minor problems that they can solve themselves. Because of the volume of these calls, they need to wait in the queue to have a two-minute call and get simple instructions that solve the error on the spot. Because the 1st line of support often follows the same steps over and over again, these calls are perfect for AI automation.
Solution
To make the time to resolution shorter and free up consultants to deal with complex queries, BSH implemented a virtual agent that helps triage washing machine and dishwasher issues and either provides do-it-yourself instructions or routes the customer to a specialist. This way, simple cases are resolved on the spot, and complex issues are promptly routed to live agents.
“After long discussions, a well-planned development process, and numerous tests and analyses, we can now boast a fantastically functioning, increasingly automated customer service thanks to the collaboration with Talkie. I can confidently state that implementing the bot was a wise business decision.”
Tomasz Ciupa, Call Center Manager at BSH
