„Press one for…“ – the traditional touch-tone IVR message of the Swiss Life hotline greeted callers in a friendly manner but with minimal and rigid choices.

[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=“regular“ highlight_color=“#ffffff“ text_color=“#000000″ style=“half_text“]

As a result, customers and sales associates had limited access to the company’s extensive financial and service offerings. They had to wait on hold for the right information or employees with the appropriate expertise.

[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=“regular“ highlight_color=“#ffffff“ text_color=“#000000″ style=“half_text“]

Swiss Life Service Center employees needed a simpler way to share niche and expert knowledge with customers – flexibly and across multiple use cases. In addition, it should be possible to deploy teams more flexibly to relieve them, especially at peak times.

[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=“regular“ highlight_color=“#fcb00e“ text_color=“#000000″ style=“half_text“]

The experience was suffering for both customers and employees. An extensive restructuring investigation revealed the solution:

A modern, scalable phone bot solution was needed.

Conversational AI has taken the quality and capabilities of phone bot conversations to the next level. Swiss Life saw it as an ideal solution to optimize the quality of service for callers, support employees and share expertise.

[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=“regular“ highlight_color=“#ffffff“ style=“half_text“]

Swiss Life, therefore, decided to integrate artificial intelligence into its telephone solutions – in close cooperation with the consulting agency MUUUH!

Swiss Life tested several Conversational AI-based platforms in search of a partner with the technical expertise and cultural fit. Parloa was a winning combination becuse of its s extensive experience in Conversational AI and delivering high-quality dialog… And the chemistry was right!

The kickoff began, and it was immediately apparent that close collaboration with the customer care team would be necessary for a successful transition. After all, who else in the company knows more about what customers want?

[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=“regular“ style=“full_text“ highlight_expansion=“default“]

Step by step, the Swiss Life team identified possible keywords and user intent options. They began a process of extensive testing and refinement with each successive draft.

„A team of experts was responsible for training our AI phone bot. Our employees have a good understanding of what customers frequently ask, and they’re also the people who receive feedback from them. So they know what’s important to include in conversations.“

A traditional IVR solution quickly reaches its limits with only nine available numbers. The intelligent AI phone bot could handle far more caller requests.

“The flexible AI-based speech recognition makes it easy for callers to communicate their concerns, even if they don’t know the right terminology. They can get in touch with the right person quickly and easily.”, Tom Schneider.
