Optimizing customer support activities with Artelys Crystal Resource Optimizer
Artelys has worked for more than 100 clients, among them SFR and other leading telecommunication operators, EDF, Engie, and RATP (Paris Metropolitan Transport Authority). For 15 years, Artelys has successfully developed solutions applied to the optimization of customer support activities for its clients.
Customer support activities are an essential interface between a company and its customers. While they are crucial to the quality of the customer experience and the attractiveness of a company’s services and products, they can represent significant costs. These activities’ complex and diverse constraints leave room for planning optimization that can result insignificant cost savings, while maintaining the targeted level of service.
Achieving performance with respect to these criterions is complex because the following dimensions have to be simultaneously considered:
- Uncertainty as to the volume of future customer requests, for each channel of communication (email, chat, call, etc.).
- The diversity of customer requests (cancellation, invoicing, support for the use of the service or tool, request for intervention, etc.) and the panel of skills it mobilizes to answer them.
- The synchronicity (e.g. call) or asynchronicity (e.g. e-mail or mail) of the operations to be performed to answer the customer’s request
- The level of service to respect according to the contractual commitments or quality objectives retained for each type of client (professional, priority, private individual, etc.).
- Individual customer support representatives’ skills.
- Subcontracting agreements that may exist with call centers external to the company (smoothing of allocated volumes ordered from one month to the next with each center, minimum orders, etc.).
- The organization’s social responsibility towards its employees (e.g. minimum/maximum number of working hours per day/week/month/year, segmentation of working days, breaks, vacations, skill development)
- Minimize operating costs
- Ensure that the level of service contracted with each category of customer is respected
- Ensure that the organization’s contractual commitments to its subcontractors and employees are respected
To help its clients deal with activity planning and resource allocation in constrained environments, Artelys has developed a highly configurable decision support software solution based on the latest Artificial Intelligence technologies: Artelys Crystal Resource Optimizer.
