When COVID-19 hit, InDebted saw a spike in the need for debt repayment support. When reaching out to customers, the team realised they were spending most of their time guiding customers on tasks that were fully enabled through self-serve. InDebted was looking for a way to continue supporting customers to self-serve their enquiries and payments while creating the space for their call centre team to help with the trickier enquiries. They wanted a solution that was smarter than an Interactive Voice Response (IVR), could provide great customer experience and deliver on their call deflection goals.
One of the biggest challenges in customer service is balancing expectations with reality. Customers want their phone calls to be answered immediately but businesses know that short wait times are generally delivered only with expensive call centre capacity.
When COVID-19 hit, many businesses saw a huge influx in customer calls. The pandemic had a wide-reaching financial impact on individuals, resulting in an increase in customer debt. This is the story of how InDebted, an innovative fintech company partnered with us to support their customers when they needed it the most.
