Guides callers to non-voice channels to boost CX and drastically cut agents’ man-hours
transcosmos inc. hereby announces that the company has connected LINE AiCall, AI-powered call services by LINE Corporation (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Chief Executive Officer: Takeshi Idezawa), with AVAYA PBX in its contact centers via SIP connect (converts audio voice signals into digital form for transmission over the internet).

Although an increasing number of businesses have implemented FAQ websites, AI-powered chatbots, non-voice services and other measures to their call centers to reduce incoming calls, there are still many users who prefer traditional voice call services. To satisfy their needs, transcosmos offers services that make LINE AiCall provide voice-based FAQ services to users who make inquiries via phone and then direct them to chatbot services when appropriate. If the FAQ services fail to solve caller inquiries, callers can ask LINE AiCall to route them directly to a contact center agent without calling the center again, and then talk directly to an agent to resolve their problems. By connecting to DEC Connect, the transcosmos proprietary API platform, the service package also comes with a feature that offers the option for users to choose chat support via LINE – the users’ everyday tool.
