What happened
Atos runs the banking operation of a government-backed financial service and uses a PolyAI voice assistant to answer customer FAQs by phone around the clock. Complex queries are passed to human agents, which frees them from repetitive calls.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of PolyAI and Atos, not ours.
- 30%“A reduction in agent call volumes by 30%”
- 30%“fully containing 30% of repetitive calls normally handled by contact center agents”
- 8 weeks“In the space of 8 weeks, PolyAI helped us achieve that goal by building and deploying the voice assistant”
The PolyAI voice assistant handles the workload equivalent to between 50-95 full-time agents depending on call volume, representing approximately 12-23% of the UK Customer Interaction Center’s headcount and at 50% of the cost of an FTE.
PolyAI has allowed us to accommodate periods of peak customer activity and to minimize complaints by significantly increasing our ability to answer FAQs through the voice assistant
