Business Challenge
CAA Saskatchewan (CAASK) is a member-driven business
offering roadside assistance, travel and insurance services.
Its roadside service is available to members 24 hours a day,
365 days a year; and includes flat tire repair, lockout services,
and towing.
CAASK sought a way to provide better service for its members
while reducing costs. In addition, CAASK needed to find
a solution to help more customers during peak call times
which are directly impacted by inclement weather. More
recently, CAASK has sought to improve member services by
implementing GEO location for members who are stranded
and are unable to relay their exact location.
Solution
Results
When CAASK recognized that it needed a different
technological approach, the company selected SmartAction’s
Intelligent Voice Automation (IVA™) solution.
The SmartAction solution
has saved CAASK 60-80%
per call while performing more
effective call resolution. In under
two minutes, CAASK “Express Service” effectively collects
all necessary member information, updates the systems,
and dispatches a truck to the members location. Thereby
eliminating the need to wait in queues for assistance, an
important consideration during Canada’s harsh winters.
Members of CAASK have shown their appreciation of the
SmartAction system by giving IVA an average satisfaction
rating of 4.49 out of 5.0 since startup.
IVA provides voice self-service to members, fully automating
all call types. Members now have the option of speaking with
a live agent or utilizing CAASK “Express Service,” the brain
child of Kevin Lane, SmartAction’s voice self-service solution.
IVA eliminates queues and provides auto club members faster,
more efficient service even during peak call times. The whole
service process occurs without any live agent intervention, as
the system interacts directly with a digital tow truck dispatch
system.
CAASK is now utilizing IVA to help its “at-home” members
who require assistance with their vehicle especially when
inclement weather strikes. “At-home” calls make up 40-60%
of all incoming member calls. In addition, IVA’s GEO location
capabilities will be implemented to locate members who are
stranded and are unable to provide their exact location.
