Auckland, New Zealand, Sept 1, 2020 -- An exclusive partnership between Vodafone New Zealand and Convai, a Probe Group company and providers in intelligent contact centre solutions, has resulted in the launch of Vodafone Voice Concierge, a solution improving both the customer experience and efficiency of business call centres.

Using artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced speech recognition, Vodafone Voice Concierge responds to a customer call, analyses the customer request and directs the call to the appropriate outcome, whether that be to talk to a call centre agent or a self-serve option.

Lindsay Zwart, Vodafone Business Director, says that the cloud-based solution is designed for businesses of all sizes and is already integrated into Vodafone’s Contact Centre portfolio of products, including its recently released Vodafone Connect (powered by AWS) and Genesys Cloud contact centre platforms.

"Businesses with smaller contact centre needs can now enjoy the immediacy of an intelligent next-generation solution that can be up and running within two to three days," she says.

"The intuitive and simple-to-use system can be plugged straight into a unified communications system, such as Vodafone One Business or Teams Connect, providing an end-to-end solution that can be operated without the need of technical expertise. For larger enterprises with more complex contact centre requirements, including those with on-premise deployments, Vodafone Voice Concierge can also be tailored into a bespoke solution that can be managed either internally or by our expert teams."

Group CEO of Probe Group Andrew Hume says the solution’s advanced speech interpretation and AI-driven call routing means the system can understand caller intent and respond accordingly, handling large volumes of calls easily.

"At the heart of Vodafone Voice Concierge is a powerful voice interpretation function that turns the conversation into text and assigns the call to a topic for the contact centre agent to view. The agent can see both the intent of the call and the caller’s full language before even speaking with the caller, turning it into a more positive experience for all," he says.

"The advanced interpretation enables insightful reporting, meaning managers can view the top reasons their customers are calling them at any given time, leading to faster issue resolution and response to recurring queries."

"Vodafone Voice Concierge finally enables us to deliver the high end sophistication in a way that can be consumed by all," says Hume.
