Client Overview
A major consumer electronics brand with customers in over 50 countries. They were struggling to provide consistent, high-quality customer support across different time zones and languages.
Client Testimonial
"CIS delivered a truly world-class AI support solution. We've been able to reduce our support costs by 30% while simultaneously increasing our CSAT score. The ability to provide instant, accurate support in 15 languages has been a huge win for our brand." - Global Head of Customer Experience
Problem
The client was using a decentralized model of regional support centers, which was expensive and led to inconsistent customer experiences. Wait times were long, and CSAT scores were declining.
Key Challenges
-
01
Providing 24/7 support in 15 different languages.
-
02
Ensuring consistent and accurate answers to technical support questions.
-
03
Managing a high volume of "Where is my order?" (WISMO) inquiries.
-
04
Reducing the high cost of their human support operation.
Our Solution
We proposed a centralized AI-first support strategy, with a custom-built multilingual chatbot at its core.
Unified Knowledge Base : We worked with the client to create a single, centralized knowledge base for all their products and policies.
Multilingual AI Chatbot : We developed a single chatbot powered by a sophisticated NLP engine that could understand and respond in 15 languages. The bot was trained on the unified knowledge base to ensure consistency.
Order Management Integration : The chatbot was integrated with their global order management system, allowing it to provide instant and accurate order status updates to customers anywhere in the world.
Intelligent Triage & Routing : The chatbot handled over 70% of inquiries automatically. For the remaining 30%, it would intelligently triage the issue and route it to a specialized human agent, providing the agent with the full context of the conversation.
