Solutions
Digital Customer Experience
- Customers are often confused over complex energy and utility bills.
- There is lack of response from energy companies to questions or issues raised by the customer
- Our AI-first Digital Customer Experience system uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique in customer communication with virtual assistants, because of which customer queries are understood and responded to with ease
- ML gives companies’ better customer segmentation along with insights, for better resource and energy usage, to improve customer experience and reduce service cost.
- Machine Learning also provides customers and utilities intuitive ways to make informed decisions on electric, water and gas usage
Cognitive Asset Management
- Companies face delays in maintenance and repair work for underground pipes due to lengthy assessment and manual inspection of video data.
- Our AI-based platform employs ML-ANN methods to determine the pipes’ condition and location, help store and map the data on the cloud, and turn a 2 day process into a 2 minute quick solution with increased review accuracy.
