The use case: how OBI deploys Parloa

OBI uses Parloa's voice AI agents on its service phone lines to answer general customer inquiries such as opening hours, promotions and services, and to route complex questions to human experts. In a pilot in Poland and Hungary, the agents checked product availability against inventory and reserved items for in-store pickup.

In the customer’s words

OBI is committed to the belief that anything is possible, and that there’s a fast and tailored solution for every customer request. Bringing AI agents into our customer service opens up new ways to handle the many customer inquiries we receive. The AI agents are always available without long wait times. At the same time, customers can still be transferred to humans as they wish.
