Process

Mobile Network Portability (MNP)

Challenge

The scope is to process MNP requests. The process involves comparing documents, IDs, and other customer details from both carriers’ data-sources, and validating multiple checkpoints from pending subscriptions, payments, or unsettled applications for out-bound requests to other carriers.

Solution

RPA robot took over the backend steps to update the data in the system. Document Understanding ML models and Intelligent form extractors are used for processing the request (IDs, MNP forms, etc..) and performing the data comparison and validation.

Results

  • 80% reduction on AHT
  • ROI: 3 months
  • Fraudulent requests are deprioritized or ruled out faster
  • Better customer experience with fast processing of MNP.

Tele Sales – Dialer Reporting

Challenge

This process scope is to create daily dialer report (MTD). The data needed is a summary to track the main KPIs like answer rate, occupancy, conversion and pitching. It takes 3 hours/day to manually prepare this report.

Solution

RPA robots took over the task fully, checking multiple metrics across the logs of applications for operating times and report them accordingly.

Results

  • 100% automated
  • ROI: 3 months
  • Better report experience / on-demand reporting
  • AHT Reduction: 92% - 3h to 15min

Process

Retention - Fixed Cessation

Challenge

The process scope is fulfilling fixed account cessation requests, e.g., if a client wants to leave the operator, the agent applies analytics based on usage then offers the customer alternative offers to persuade them away from leaving the operator, and if they failed then ceases the line.

Solution

RPA robot took over ceasing part, once agents are done with the offers then they insert the closure date in the system, whether for individual or bulk requests. Current efforts are in-progress to use RPA’s AI Center to recommend the next-best offer based on historical data.

Results

  • 90% reduction on AHT
  • ROI: 3 months
  • 10 FTE freeing
  • Five robots operating 24/7

Process

Exit Charge – Billing Summary – Billing Details – Data Usage

Challenge

The process scope is to create reports for the business users on the charges they need to pay if they want to exit an already activated plan.

Solution

RPA robot searches all the lines of a particular business users and generates a proper report for it including all needed details and sends it to the customer.

Results

  • 100% Automated
  • ROI: 3 months
  • Higher customer satisfaction
  • Improved agent experience

Process

Commission & Incentives

Challenge

The agent carries out random-sampling checks of partner commission & incentives where the agent validates the commission figures and calculations between multiple systems, and complex business rules.

Solution

RPA robot took over the process, calculating commission precursors collected from different systems. More importantly, this activity is not just done for a random sample, but for all issued transactions, increasing the governance, and nullifying the error rate.

Results

  • 100% of the effort automated
  • ROI: 3 months
  • Higher governance of process
  • Quality improvement to 0% error rate
  • Faster Partner payments
  • Enhanced Partner Experience.

Process

Registration Renewal

Challenge

The agent needs to fulfill a regulatory authority request to update user profile information in their system. The process can consume up to a full working day due to multiple delegations between front-office & back-office employees.

Solution

RPA robot took over the process. Using Document Understanding to read customer documents, RPA robot compares the extracted information with customer data in the system and verifies it against the authority’s request. Once the verification is complete, the robot sends the update to the authority within the agreed upon SLAs.

Results

  • 90% reduction on AHT
  • ROI: 3 months
  • Higher standardization of process
  • 0% error rate

Process

Managing order creation and customer care

Challenge

The company’s order management and customer care process involved a huge volume of transaction data that slowed down processing and hurt their bottom line. The process handled 480-600 orders per day. They also offered a speed booster service at discount, but didn't have an efficient process behind it, costing the company 20 AUD per customer per month. They wanted to remove the package to lower costs.

Solution

The RPA Robot supported the order build process and service removal activity. The Robot was built on the client’s CRM system (Siebel) and was tested and deployed into production. The automation—which involved four Robots running 24/7—generated a daily operational report for discussion with stakeholders.
