Airline One of the world’s leading airlines Improved response time by 40%, significantly boosting customer experience scores with Scout Email it to me The Challenge A leading Business Process Services company in Europe, employing over 15,000 staff with a global reach, encountered significant operational challenges servicing their top-tier airline clients. The operations teams were only meeting 50% of the Service Level Agreements (SLAs), posing a serious risk of contract non-renewal. This situation threatened not only the service provider’s revenue but also the airline’s reputation due to subpar customer service. Industry Airline Location Europe 15,000 Employees Attempted Solution before Scout 2,000 hours requested for workshops, adding to team stress and attrition A SWAT team was appointed to rectify this problem. Despite deploying a process mining solution and conducting manual ‘discovery workshops’ to decipher the team’s work patterns, these efforts were insufficient. The process mining tool took too long to implement and failed to provide a clear view of operations. Moreover, the workshops demanded roughly 2,000 hours from the already stretched teams, exacerbating stress and attrition issues. Enter The Head of Operations decided to implement Scout to find and fix this problem. Scout was deployed swiftly and started generating insights without the need for complex system integrations. Scout unveiled critical insights within 2 weeks Scout to “find and fix” Step 1: Find Scout unveiled critical insights within two weeks: The front-office team spent just 45% of their time on primary tasks With the rest consumed by inefficient processes, including time spent toggling between applications, fetching customer details and searching for flight options all from different systems and applications. This highlighted the major disconnection debt the organization was carrying due to information silos. Harvard Business Review Do You Know How Your Teams Get Work Done?

Harvard Business Review What’s Lost When Data Systems Don’t Communicate Read article It is important to note that in all these recommendations, privacy was of utmost importance – and no employee data was shared. Empathy was at the core of all recommendations and the focus was on addressing and improving the core issues below: Getting teams to work together across functions Fixing disconnected systems Simplifying and optimizing work processes Business outcomes With Scout’s insights and the subsequent interventions, the following improvements were achieved: Call time for voice calls reduced by approximately 30% Overall customer waiting times decreased by around 20% Email communication response times improved by about 40% Net Promoter Score (NPS) for voice calls improved by 200 basis points Operator productivity across both teams increased by 30%-40% How AI connects interaction data to business outcomes Your business generates billions of data points from human-machine interactions. Scout, our AI model, deciphers this interaction data to unveil what often remains unseen—the hidden challenges your teams face at work and how they affect business outcomes, whether it’s cost optimization, revenue growth, customer or employee experience, or business continuity. The AI then provides data-based recommendations for the necessary interventions to address these challenges, paving the way for improved outcomes.
