A global food product distribution company wanted to enhance supply chain efficiency and support clients in the restaurant industry struggling with the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. To serve customers as effectively as possible, they turned to a Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI) in our portfolio.

The business established a contact center to inform restaurants about coronavirus relief initiatives and help them apply for funding. Additionally, the distributor created a self-serve program to proactively send delivery details to callers to assist with inventory management and mitigate supply chain issues. Finally, the food distributor deployed AI-powered agent assistance to help contact center workers answer customers’ queries faster with efficient access to relevant knowledge base articles.

Ultimately, thanks to the AI-powered CCaaS solution, the company enhanced customer satisfaction metrics and achieved a projected $100,000 in savings per year by proactively messaging callers.
