Cutting tier-1 call center workload by 40%
The scenario we design for: an operation whose agents spend their day on the same handful of repetitive tier-1 questions. A voice AI layer sits in front of the existing queue and handles triage, qualification and routing, escalating anything it shouldn't touch.
What we'd build: A voice AI layer in front of the existing tier-1 queue — triage, qualification, routing, and CRM lookup — deployed alongside the human team, not replacing it.
How we'd measure it: Workload measured as agent-handled tier-1 call minutes: a baseline taken before deployment, compared against the same window after. Agreed with you before we start, so the number can't move afterwards.
What we'd aim at
- 40% of tier-1 inbound handled without an agent
- Out-of-hours coverage without new hires
- Escalation path for anything the agent shouldn't handle
- Per-call cost modelled at ~£0.18 vs ~£3.20
