Right next to our office at Dokk1 is the Aarhus Citizen Service’s office. Naturally, we got to talking about how we could help make their lives a little easier. We quickly acknowledged that customer service or citizen service is something that Aarhus Citizen Service values extremely high both in terms of quality but also in relation to the average waiting time that citizens experience before they get through to a customer service representative.
Aarhus municipality office have always had a keen eye when looking to improve their services. They have an innovative way of thinking and working with data – which is why they also found it interesting to be first mover within customer service.
Onboarding of new employees is one of the most time-consuming tasks of Borgerservice since a new employee needs time to adjust and learn the service items in order to provide the best possible care.
We therefore had to create a solution that optimizes the onboarding process, is easy for current service agents to use and additionally reduces the average waiting time. All summed up in three overarching goals:
we always want to provide the best service, to us that means that you don’t have to wait several minutes on the phone to get help. The solution is a brilliant tool that helps us provide better service to the citizen and it allows us to also use guides that aren’t used as often.
We delivered a speech-to-text solution that helps customer service agents find their support articles based on the conversation between a service agent and a customer. The solution is able to swiftly identify the right articles for the given scenario, but also suggest similar articles or relate other subjects based on the conversation.
This makes it significantly easier to onboard new employees as new hires are less required to know all articles right away and instead be guided by the solution. As previously mentioned, the machine learning aspect will result in a more efficient and user-friendly solution.
Trifork’s mission is to make the world a better place, together with Borgerservice Aarhus we have been able to be first mover in making automatic speech recognition in danish, but there are still plenty of options to explore.
The system is build on Triforks generic Smart Service Center platform, that with intensive use of Artificial intelligence converts voice to text and intelligent keyword extraction. The solution is bound with microservices and containers that can be deployed in the Cloud and On-Premise.
The solution automatically learns and adapt from the agents usage and feedback. The user interface is web-based and interacts and blend in with Borgerservices existing web-based tools. The platforms microservice architecture makes it easy to connect to other call center solutions and user interfaces.
