Challenge

Customer intended to provide their end-customers with a seamless telephony based customer service experience by adding features such as preferred language calls, voice mail facility etc. on AWS Connect and its affiliate products.

Solution

Cloud Kinetics proposed to create separate contact flows for Customer Service, New Booking and Corporate Consumer with Voicemail added as a separate flow. Multi-language support option was provided to the end-users to choose their preferred language. Calls will be routed to the Voicemail facility when all agents are busy; this helped save time for end-users by avoiding long wait times. Customer’s existing ticketing system was integrated with AWS Connect for better user experience where details of the caller were made available to the agents, if available.

Voicemail messages were processed using Kinesis streams, converted to text using Amazon Transcribe and stored in the respective tickets to assist the agents.
