AI call Center

There is no doubt that AI is a transformative technology for call centers. Not only can call centers use AI to reduce operating costs and increase efficiency, the technology also delivers actionable analytics and unprecedented insights - automatically, without manual intervention. Managers use these insights to improve the customer experience, build brand loyalty and protect against customer churn. AI can help improve customer service interactions and make operations more efficient.

Read on to learn how Eleveo is using AI solutions to make our workforce optimization tools - Quality Management, Workforce Management and Speech Analytics - smarter, faster and easier to use. Discover how our tools help contact centers deliver exceptional customer experiences through advanced analytics and machine learning.

AI-controlled call centers

With advances in AI technology, call centers have access to new features that improve customer satisfaction. Ultimately, AI is a powerful new line of defense against customer churn. AI-powered call centers can offer better services, deliver exceptional customer experiences, help analyze customer interactions and provide real-time insights.

AI-powered chatbots and virtual agents, for example, expand customer self-service capabilities, especially for routine activities and inquiries. This gives agents more time and attention for complex problems that require specialized expertise and customer interaction.

In addition, AI technology is revolutionizing internal processes and impacting virtually all CX-related activities. Call center decision makers are using the technology for:

  • Improving the training of agents

  • Analyze 100% of interactions between customers and agents using natural language processing

Chatbubbles

  • Uncovering new trends in customer sentiment and emotion through sentiment analysis

Calendar

  • Optimization of employee rosters to ensure that employees with the right skills are available to meet demand

Artificial intelligence can automate many repetitive tasks, allowing agents to focus on providing personalized experiences. With artificial intelligence call center software, these tasks become more manageable and efficient.

AI automates previously complex, time-consuming calculations and delivers solutions in minutes or seconds instead of hours or days - and does so much better than humans. AI in customer service can significantly improve the customer journey and increase overall satisfaction.

Predictive routing

Since the 1990s, call centers have been using skills-based routing - a method of assigning a customer profile to an agent who has the right skills, e.g. product knowledge. Today, AI takes this concept one step further with predictive behavioral routing. AI call centers can match callers with customer profiles and route calls to the agents most likely to be able to help, improving customer interaction.

AI planning

Scheduling is a data-intensive, variable-dependent task, and few, if any, commercial call centers can afford a dedicated scheduling staff with the expertise to effectively manage schedule creation. However, optimized schedules are key to maximizing the customer experience. Only with an optimized schedule can a call center ensure that all customer inquiries are handled by the right agents on a consistent basis and in a timely manner.

Why not streamline scheduling with an AI call center? It's complex; why not simplify it? Eleveo's AI-driven Auto Scheduling tool can create an optimized schedule with just the touch of a button. AI technology can improve agent efficiency and ensure agents are available with the right skills when they're needed.

AI analytics

AI generates comprehensive statistics on critical CX-related metrics, such as average handle time, first call resolution and more. AI tools can now determine whether customers are having pleasant or negative experiences. Eleveo's artificial intelligence platform and analytics tools turn raw data into valuable information. This enables managers to identify areas for improvement and enhance call center operations.

Emotional intelligence AI

Eleveo's advanced speech analytics, transcription and emotion recognition improves business operations by measuring customer engagement and deploying agents where they are needed. This allows you to analyze customer conversations and gain deeper insights into your customers' behavior and preferences.

For more than two decades, Eleveo's integrated suite of software applications has enabled thousands of companies worldwide to optimize the way their call centers work. AI and automation take optimization to a new level, improving both agent performance and customer experience.

Deeper insight into Eleveo's AI-powered auto scheduling tool

With the Elevēo tool, you can simulate and test schedules that reflect three of the most important factors that influence what your final schedule will look like: Forecasts, break optimization and channel optimization.

 

You can also set times for training and meetings or let the scheduling engine determine the best times for these activities. Regardless, the ability to set your scheduling priorities will improve the customer experience AND the agent experience and align those priorities with the organization's SLAs. AI can make scheduling more efficient and effective, improving call center operations.

 

Eleveo engineers developed the automated appointment scheduling tool on our proprietary AI platform ELIS, which uses Google OR-Tools as its AI engine. Google OR-Tools won four gold medals at the MiniZinc Challenge 2021, the international constraint programming competition.

 

These constraints are integrated into Eleveo Auto Scheduling and specified in shift templates and forecasts. Examples are:

Cafe

Break frequency and duration

Time

Working hours and duration of shifts

Vacation

rain sharp 1

Unplanned events, such as sick days

Statistics table

Demand forecasts

Chatbubbles

Channel assignments (voice, chat, e-mail)

With a single keystroke, Eleveo Auto Scheduling tests thousands of data permutations every second - learning until it finds the best possible plan. Managers can use their time previously spent creating schedules for value-adding activities such as coaching employees and other quality improvements. AI can also help reduce waiting times and improve overall operational efficiency.

Our Real-Time Adherence tool automatically alerts managers when an agent deviates from their plan. The tool provides better real-time visibility into attrition, so you can quickly take action to reduce the impact on the customer experience.

Deeper insight into Eleveo's auto quality management/speech analysis tool

This powerful tool allows supervisors to evaluate 100% of contact center calls for compliance, customer satisfaction, agent training and legal protection. The ability to derive actionable insights from every customer/agent interaction helps supervisors proactively identify trends and evaluate processes and agent performance. AI can help identify areas for improvement and improve call quality.

Each interaction is evaluated based on key parameters defined by the manager, such as

Thumbs up

Emotions among agents and customers

Document text

Keywords and expressions

pause-2

Interruptions

Chatbox

Crosstalk and silence

Time

Duration of the call

Using these and other parameters, our automated tools provide managers with unprecedented insight into the effectiveness of individual agents and the contact center as a whole in fulfilling their core mission - delivering the best possible customer experience. AI solutions can provide a wealth of information to improve customer interactions.

When an agent fails, Eleveo Auto QM helps answer the question "Why?" in a systematic, data-driven way, opening the door to proactive problem solving and effective agent training.
