TK Customer Care - satisfied customers through conversational AI

Chatbots and digital assistants improve service quality in customer contact, shorten waiting and response times and ensure that network operators and maintenance centers use their resources in a more targeted manner.

Chatbots conduct dialog with customers via various channels such as social media, email or telephone and integrate into backend systems such as ERP, CRM and PIM. This creates a new, better user experience and increases customer satisfaction. valantic supports you from the design of the solution to the implementation of conversational AI and workflow solutions for the automation of business processes (robotic process automation).

We would be happy to advise you!

The Evolution of the Chatbot

Chatbots are already part of our communication today. The networking of the devices with each other and the connection to databases increases. Algorithms are becoming more powerful. This creates promising projects – across all industries.

Businesses should therefore identify Conversational AI as a key technology. Now is the time to integrate them for their business models and internal operations. The evolution of voice control will change every industry. It will open up potential and form the basis for completely new sales channels.

Conversational AI: scenarios for the use of chatbots

  • Automated processing of recurring inquiries in all channels – customers receive immediate answers
  • 24/7 relief and support for service employees
  • More flexible and faster than FAQs in the medium to long term
  • Centralized provision of information from all relevant areas
  • Call center, human resources, technical 1st level support

Voice and chatbots work very closely with the customer, shorten long waiting times and provide customers with the information they need very quickly, for example in 1st level support. Chatbots and voicebots work primarily collaboratively, hand in hand with human employees. If it is not possible for the bot to answer questions satisfactorily, for example because the level of complexity is too high, it passes the customer on to a human team member.

Conversational AI: benefits of chatbots and voicebots

  • Improved service quality
  • Significantly shorter response time
  • Significantly higher self-service rates
  • Targeted use of resources
  • the famous nose length ahead of the competition
  • better Net Promoter Score (NPS) and more satisfied customers

Voice, chat and social media bots are powerful components of a cross-channel omni-channel and UX strategy that generate concrete added value very quickly. Another example: social listening bots have their ear very close to the customer. Customers don’t mince their words on social media and usually give unvarnished feedback. Social listening bots analyze what feedback customers give about your solutions and how your brands are performing on the market.

Conversational AI: Features

  • Chat & voice & social media – across channels and systems
  • NLP/NLU technology (integration of Microsoft and IBM Watson possible)
  • Context tracking and contact profiles
  • Short training times thanks to web-based graphical Flow&Process Editor
  • Smooth agent handover
  • A variety of integrated channel connectors
  • 3rd party integration (Salesforce.Microsoft and others)
  • Guaranteed enterprise security, role-based access rights, extensive analysis and reporting tools

Voice, chat and social media bots work very closely with customers and significantly increase customer satisfaction. In contrast, RPA bots (robotic process automation) achieve significant time and efficiency gains, primarily in back-office workflows. RPA automates repetitive, highly rule-based business processes, but can also make simple decisions. RPA projects only take a few weeks and typically require a low five-figure budget. Your company benefits immediately and directly from the efficiency gains achieved through RPA. We would be happy to advise you!
