The Challenge

Salzburg AG receives more than 400,000 phone calls and 100,000 text-based customer service contact requests annually. In most cases, customers are asking general questions relating to products and services. However, some requests are highly complex.

Therefore, the goal was to relieve the pressure on service teams by introducing an AI-powered virtual assistant working across all channels and handling most inquiries. The virtual assistant needed to free Salzburg AG's customer service teams to enable them to focus on customers with complex questions and requests.

The Solution

Salzburg AG created "LEA" aka Learning Electronic Assistant, using Cognigy.AI conversational platform. LEA resolves customer and employee requests across all communication channels and services and will hand the communication over to a personal customer service representative as a "Live Chat" when necessary.

For the end customer, LEA is evolving to handle more inquiries with satisfaction, and as it learns, it continues to reduce the burden placed upon the customer service representatives. Its evolution is down to Cognigy's innate ability to analyze conversations and interpret intents.

The Impact

For Salzburg AG, Cognigy has addressed the need for increased customer loyalty by providing an intelligent learning chatbot available 24x7, giving the customer service team greater job satisfaction by removing mundane and repetitive inquiries.
