What was the challenge?

The citizen service operations of this agency were initially outsourced to an external provider call center. Here, inquiries made via telephone or chat were directed to a team of agents who addressed them on a personal and individual basis. Unfortunately, this model resulted in low user satisfaction due to extensive wait times for responses and was economically inefficient for the entity, as it led to high operational costs without a commensurate increase in productivity. The system’s inability to manage the entire volume of user requests meant that some taxpayers could not complete their tax returns due to insufficient support.
At the project’s outset, the organization proposed to internalize the user support service. Their goal was to offer an efficient service at reduced costs and to enhance user satisfaction. They also planned to establish an omnichannel support system that could handle any inquiry, irrespective of the communication channel used. This shift was expected to lead to a more effective service that better met user demands, improved service and response times, increased the productivity of customer service specialists, reduced operating costs, and enabled the automation of customer service 24 hours a day.
“They started from a scenario that led some taxpayers not to finish their return process due to lack of support in the process”

Solution implemented

Following an extensive analysis of the existing challenges, an omnichannel strategy was developed to provide high-quality customer service across various platforms. This comprehensive approach involves two key implementations:

First, the integration of inConcert technology within the organization’s own Contact Centre allows for efficient management of inquiries across multiple channels, including telephone, SMS, social media, and chat.

Additionally, an intelligent and automated chatbot equipped with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been deployed. This bot is designed to autonomously handle a large volume of interactions, while more complex inquiries requiring human intervention are seamlessly transferred to the Contact Centre for personalized assistance.
