TheSituation-Deezer

The situation

Agents were dealing with high volumes of (relatively) non-urgent inquiries and unpredictable surges in support requests.

TheSolution-Deezer

The solution

With automation, Deezer implemented a scalable and cost-effective first point of contact across both chat and tickets. They were able to easily integrate it with their existing CRM system: Zendesk.

Getting started with Ultimate

Deezer needed an automation solution that would balance cost-efficiency with outstanding CX. That made our industry-leading conversational AI a deciding factor in why they chose to automate with Ultimate. Instead of using a translation layer, our language-agnostic virtual agent can understand 109 languages. That allows Deezer to provide round-the-clock, native-level support in 7 of these.

After launching chat automation in English, Deezer’s Automation Manager Aline Giazzon and her team of bot builders expanded to 6 additional languages. Building on their chat success, Deezer then went live with ticket automation. And the team is constantly working with Carl, one of our Customer Success Managers at Ultimate (and a Zendesk expert) to improve customer experiences.

“Carl from Ultimate really understands how Zendesk works. So when we’re bringing up ideas he knows if they’ll be possible or not and can suggest other solutions.”

AI use case spotlight: providing instant support

  • 100% of queries are initially answered by the AI-powered virtual agent, providing an immediate first response to customers.

  • The virtual agent then gathers additional information before escalating more complex questions to a human agent, driving down handle times.

  • Automation allows Deezer to deflect 2,500 chats and 7,000 tickets each month.

AI use case spotlight: managing contact spikes

  • To manage costs, Patrick keeps his support team small — but this makes them vulnerable to unexpected fluctuations in request volumes.

  • After a recent service outage, AI-powered chat and ticket automation saved agents from manually answering around 3,000 extra inquiries.

  • Their virtual agent allows them to ride out any storms, without taking on extra staff or making their customers wait.

The success story

CostEfficient-Deezer

Cost-efficient

Their virtual agent takes care of the same workload as 5 full-time employees — that’s €155,000 saved each year.

Scalable-Deezer

Scalable

Automation takes away the stress of unexpected support request spikes (and having to hire additional agents to manage these surges).

Multilingual-Deezer

Multilingual

Powered by conversational AI — instead of simple translation tools — our solution helps Deezer offer quality, native-level support in 7 languages.

Flexible-Deezer

Flexible

Our flexible pricing model meant that Deezer could start small, and expand to new channels & languages when it made sense for their business.
