How AI agent triage enabled a leading appliance manufacturer to increase revenue per service call by 63%
Challenge
Our client, a multinational home appliance manufacturer, delivers over 60 million innovative and high-quality products to customers in more than 150 countries annually. It is consistently ranked the world’s second largest appliance maker by units sold.
The company had a robust network of service agents yet it faced pressing issues: high service response times and poor first-time fix rates.
Their reliance on manual processes led to delays in gathering relevant service information, leading to prolonged call durations and frustrated customers seeking swift resolutions. Moreover, the service data was fragmented across multiple applications, hindering agents’ ability to troubleshoot effectively.
