Extendly reduces call centre volume by 30% by automating with Botpress

How can we divert chats away from live agents?

‍

Too often, small-to-medium businesses are caught in endless CRM system management.

Extendly provides 24/7 tech support, custom setups, explainer videos, and high-converting sales funnels  for SaaS companies using HighLevel, a leading CRM platform.

But providing 24/7 support is costly and resource-intensive. Extendly services over 10% of HighLevel’s SMB market. They needed a way to minimize live agents while maintaining high quality customer assistance.

Extendly used Botpress to automate their sought-after 24/7 tech support. Now, every support request starts with a chatbot that can resolve conversations on its own.

They saw a 30% decrease in overall chat volume after implementing Botpress. They were able to alleviate support staff workload and enhance their overall customer experience.

With Botpress, Extendly is able to deploy resources more strategically, improving their quality of service and fostering deeper customer relationships.

More about the solution

Modern customer support logistics need custom AI solutions.

The deployment of Botpress has significantly improved Extendly's operational efficiency, successfully reducing the chat volume handled by human agents by 30%. This reduction allows technical staff to engage more deeply with customers, enhancing the quality of support. Botpress has been rolled out to 100 agencies so far, with plans to expand to over 1,000 agencies and potentially up to 400,000 end chat users in the near future.

Extendly saw a 500% increase in their ability to divert chats from agents

‍

After ditching their in-house AI system, which was both resource- and labour-intensive, Extendly swapped their chatbot to Botpress and saw a jump from 5% of conversations diverted away from human agents to 30% (and growing).

Botpress operates at the key vectors between efficiency and power. Extendly was able to leverage the latest in LLM technology while improving operational efficiency.

Extendly customized their customer service bot with flexible options like:

• Custom knowledge bases
• Automated Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Streamlined chat interface

Legacy systems are difficult to integrate to new platforms or LLM models. It typically requires a full development team, increasing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) without providing additional value. But on Botpress, Extendly was able to easily update and integrate their chatbot with minimal cost.
