The Social Hub
“With Sophie, we have a colleague who is available 24/7, always remains friendly and never takes a day off. It really feels like an extension of our team.”
— Team Lead Customer Care, The Social Hub
The Social Hub grew internationally and needed to be able to scale up support processes without putting additional pressure on employees.
Support teams received hundreds of repetitive questions every day, which led to stress and limited focus on complex customer requests.
Many questions concerned standard topics (such as check-in times or WiFi), but still had to be answered manually.
Employees had to search for information in multiple systems, which compromised the speed and quality of customer interaction.
Utilising an AI solution to handle standard queries independently, thereby reducing the workload of the support team.
Achieve faster response times without compromising service quality.
Introducing a virtual colleague that easily integrates into existing tools and processes.
Select a solution that is easy to roll out across multiple teams, countries, and departments.
