What are the benefits?

Automate support and optimize human resources

First of all, a virtual assistant understands natural language and identifies the customer’s need. It does the heavy-lifting by automatically resolving routine issues or collecting information. It's simple, really: all the frequently asked questions that you have in your knowledge base are solved by the chatbot.

Make customers happy with immediate answers

As the bot takes care of frequent requests, customers get instant replies and agents gain time. This way, they can focus on customizing the answers, working on strategy and closing sales. If the request can’t be answered automatically, the AI solution sends the information to your CRM, creates a case and assigns it to the right department. As a result, your team will access a complete customer profile to quickly reach out with a solution or an offer.

Reduce costs

Needless to say, while a trained bot takes care of answering automatically, a big 24/7 human support team becomes obsolete. It’s simple math: the smarter your solution, the lower your costs.

According to our data, companies that adopt the solution will get to offer 24/7 service, with an expected reduction in human services of around 70%.

Boost Sales

Also, your virtual assistant will be able to detect sales or carry out real-time up-selling actions. When it detects a potential sale, it asks the customer to fill in a short form and sends the details to the Sales team. You will basically have an automatic lead generator that connects seamlessly to your CRM workflow.

Offer unlimited support

Finally, your customers will forget about waiting. You can rely on a chatbot to resolve their demands immediately, 24/7 and in all your channels.
