An online gaming platform with over 700,000 users and 5,000 calls handled daily wanted to enhance customer experiences (CX) and improve agent performance. The company turned to a contact center AI solution in our portfolio to optimize operations.

With an AI-powered virtual agent tool, the gaming platform created new options for self-service. Additionally, they deployed an AI analytics tool to assess agent performance based on defined objectives.

With these artificial intelligence solutions, the business handled 45 percent of contacts via self-service, saved $2.9 million per year in labor costs, and enhanced contact center performance visibility. Additionally, when the platform experienced a phone system outage during the Super Bowl, the new self-service capabilities meant clients could still receive support.

If you want to improve your company’s customer and employee experiences (CX and EX) while containing costs, you should consider the same contact center AI offering.
