Challenge

A leading telecommunications provider was struggling to meet the demands of their growing customer base with traditional support channels. Their call centers were overwhelmed with over 50,000 daily inquiries, leading to long wait times, inconsistent service quality, and escalating operational costs. Customer satisfaction scores were declining, and the company was losing market share to more digitally-savvy competitors.

The company needed an intelligent, scalable solution that could handle routine inquiries automatically, provide 24/7 support, maintain service quality, and seamlessly escalate complex issues to human agents when necessary.

Solution

IrsikSoftware developed an advanced AI-powered customer service platform that combines natural language processing, machine learning, and intelligent automation to transform customer support operations. Our solution included:

• Conversational AI Engine: Advanced NLP-powered chatbot capable of understanding context, sentiment, and intent across multiple languages
• Omnichannel Integration: Unified support across web chat, mobile app, social media, email, and voice channels
• Smart Routing: ML-based ticket classification and intelligent routing to appropriate human agents when needed
• Knowledge Base Integration: Automated learning from support interactions and seamless integration with existing documentation
• Sentiment Analysis: Real-time emotion detection to prioritize urgent issues and escalate frustrated customers
• Predictive Analytics: Proactive issue identification and personalized recommendations based on customer history
• Agent Assistance: AI-powered suggestions and automated response drafting for human agents

Implementation Approach

We followed an agile, data-driven implementation strategy:

1. Phase 1 - Data Analysis & Model Training (3 months): Analyzed historical support data, identified common inquiry patterns, and trained initial NLP models
2. Phase 2 - Core Platform Development (4 months): Built conversational AI engine, omnichannel integration, and agent dashboard
3. Phase 3 - Pilot Launch (2 months): Limited rollout to 10% of traffic, continuous model refinement based on real interactions
4. Phase 4 - Full Deployment & Optimization (3 months): Gradual scaling to 100% traffic, advanced features deployment, and ongoing optimization
