How Virtual Assistant Call Centers Drive Customer Satisfaction

Imagine a large e-commerce company that has to address massive volumes of customer queries. Traditionally, this would require them to hire and train a large number of human agents for their call center. However, as we move towards a technology-led era, businesses are now able to adopt virtual assistant call centers that empower their human resources through digital assistants. It allows them to overcome the obstacles of running a physical call center entirely dependent on human agents and improve efficiency while reducing wait time. Let’s understand this evolving concept, its advantages, and how you can leverage these benefits with SquadStack’s virtual assistance call center services.

Understanding Virtual Assistant Call Centers

A virtual assistant call center is a facility that employs virtual assistants alongside human employees to automate interactions and provide exceptional customer service. These virtual agents leverage AI (Artificial Intelligence) and NLP (Natural Language Processing) to understand human language and respond to customer queries. Virtual assistant call centers significantly reduce operational costs by automating routine tasks and minimizing reliance on human agents. Companies opt for virtual assistance call center services not only for their cost-effective nature but also for their ability to offer flexible scalability, 24/7 availability, data-driven insights, and their potential to provide personalized experiences.

SquadStack recently launched AI-based humanoid agents, an advanced voice AI, to drive better CX and conversions for businesses. This technology can engage with customers in multiple Indian languages and detect sales opportunities. In addition to impressive results during the beta testing, our humanoid agent achieved a 60% reduction in operational costs and a 40% increase in sales opportunities. This agent enhances our AI solutions by providing Agent Assist and Agent OverWatch. Together, they create a complete AI-powered contact center system

With the emergence of virtual assistant call centers, businesses can focus on improving efficiency and allocate freed-up human agents to concentrate on core competencies, while customers can enjoy uninterrupted, around-the-clock customer service with faster response times.
