AI in service for manufacturing: smart helpers
The last few years, marked by the pandemic and rapid digital transformation, have profoundly changed customer behavior. Customers want speed, agility, and individualization – including in service. The use of artificial intelligence offers companies in the manufacturing sector new opportunities to meet these demanding expectations.
How can you achieve this? With AI
AI systems can recognize complex patterns, process information quickly, draw conclusions, and make recommendations. They range from recognizing patterns in huge amounts of data to auto-correct on your smartphone, and they have become indispensable in customer service for various companies. Their implementation has recently reached new heights, with intelligent tools that not only make the work of service employees easier, but also strengthen customer loyalty and contribute to market leadership.
Four tips for your service department
AI chatbots have taken on an essential role in customer service by gathering preliminary information, enabling self-service, and supporting employees. They are used in many areas, from greeting customers on the phone to assisting with the processing of service requests.
Intelligent routing automates the assignment of service cases through machine learning. The right employees are selected based on their expertise, experience, and availability, resulting in improved first-time resolution rates and customer satisfaction.
Automatic route planning saves time and optimizes field service. AI makes planning teams, equipment, and vehicles more efficient, increasing your first-time fix rate and customer satisfaction.
Sentiment analysis can be used to assess customer sentiment and respond accordingly. It offers great potential on social media and can lead to more effective customer communication and long-term customer loyalty.
