About the Ministry of Transport

The Israel Ministry of Transport and Road Safety is the government department in charge of transportation infrastructure, road safety, and making it easier for the public to get around Israel. So, as part of a wider effort to support its citizens, the Ministry gave the go ahead on a big public information programme called Safe Return. What this needed was an AI contact centre that could handle the huge number of calls from citizens asking for help.

The Challenge
Putting it out there, the impact was massive right from the off. It was plain to see – the day it launched the whole operation changed for the better.

Half the Work Being Done by the Bot

The AI Voice Bot really made a difference – it sorted out more than half of all the customer service interactions on its own, no human involvement required. Most of the simple stuff was taken care of quickly and easily, leaving the human agents free to focus on the real tough cases where their expertise was really needed.

Reduced Handle Times By a Whopping 47%

By giving the human agents a full run down on every case before they even picked up the phone, and by automating those boring tasks that would normally take ages to do – like post call wrap up and updating the CRM system – the platform basically halved the average time it took to deal with a case. That’s right, 47% less time, and the average case was being wrapped up in under 40 seconds.

Priority Cases Were Getting Sorted Out At 3 Times The Usual Speed

The AI’s priority system came into play and was sending the really difficult cases to the right people in double quick time – we’re talking three times faster than usual. So the really important stuff was getting taken care of in no time.

And on top of all that – Not a Single Glitch Since Launch Day

We’re talking tens of thousands of phone calls and messages and not a single problem with the service since the day it went live. The platform has loads of built in redundancy and can run on its own servers – that’s how we managed to keep the Safe Return initiative running like a well oiled machine without a single hiccup.

AI Voice Automation

VoiceSpin’s AI Voice Bot was used to take care of the huge volume of inbound calls. The bot can understand free speech and is able to identify what the caller wants, gather the details it needs and even create tasks for human agents right there and then. And to top it all off, citizens could even initiate a call via WhatsApp which would then seamlessly route into the VoiceSpin Cloud PBX and avoid the normal roaming issues altogether.

AI Free Speech Chatbot

For WhatsApp messaging, VoiceSpin deployed an AI Chatbot that was able to give citizens the information they needed and gather the details right away. The AI would then prioritise the more serious cases and assign them to the right agents. The platform could even send out mass notifications directly from Salesforce to get the word out to citizens in an instant. And the great thing about it was that it could operate globally without having to rely on local telecom providers, making it a vital backup in case of any problems.

Robust Salesforce Integration

All of the agents were working entirely within Salesforce – they would receive and make calls directly from a native workspace within the VoiceSpin Salesforce integration. Every interaction would get automatically recorded, transcribed, summarised and synced to the case records in no time. And to top it all off, the managers would have a complete view of the whole operation and could get real time data to help them make better decisions.

The Outcomes

The deployment was a huge success – it was plain to see the impact on every area of the operation from the very start.

Half of All Interactions Being Sorted by AI

The AI Voice Bot was able to take care of over half of all the customer service interactions all by itself. Most of the simple queries got wrapped up quickly and easily, freeing the human agents up to focus on the tough cases that really needed their attention.

Handle Times Cut By 47%

By giving human agents full context on every case before they picked up the phone, and by automating all those tedious post call tasks and CRM updates, the platform was able to cut the average handle time in half – that’s 47% – and were able to get cases resolved in under 40 seconds.

Priority Cases Getting Sorted Out 3 Times Faster

The AI’s priority system kicked in and was sending the really tough cases to the right people in no time – we’re talking three times faster than usual. That meant that really important citizen queries were getting taken care of in super quick time.

Not a Single Second of Downtime

We’ve processed tens of thousands of calls and messages nonstop since launch day with not one single blip in service. The platform’s got built-in redundancy and can run on its own infrastructure – that’s how we kept the Safe Return initiative rolling without a hitch.
