Challenge

Despite achieving a remarkable 92% show-rate, Ancira CJDR faced mounting pressure to enhance operational efficiency while maintaining thehigh-touch experience customers expected. Key challenges included:

  • Sustaining their 92% show rate as appointment volume grows
  • Maintaining a personal touch in communications across thousands of interactions.
  • Ensuring accountability and consistency with over 500 monthly appointments.
  • Reducing the strain on BDC agents, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks.

Solution

To meet these challenges, Ancira CJDR brought on Voice AI, Kenect’s AI-powered virtual assistant, to support their BDC team. Voice AI was deployed to:

  • Send personalized service reminders automatically to customers.
  • Introduce a live agent only when needed, such as for reschedules or cancellations.
  • Mirror the dealership’s brand tone, ensuring a seamless and human experience.
  • Answer common questions, reducing agent workload.
  • Identify and flag bad customer data (emails, phone numbers).
  • Log and track all interactions for training and performance review purposes.

Kenect’s Voice AI was trained specifically to align with Ancira’s customer base, including handling spelling and grammar variations in customer responses.
