The Challenge

Blakely has had phenomenal growth over the past few years, which has meant that peak periods have been particularly challenging. Customer experience is valued highly, and the team at Blakely wanted to be at the top of their game. But the pressures of peak meant that response times were slower than they desired them to be, with customers waiting too long to get a response. So Blakely looked into AI to help them speed up response times. That’s where DigitalGenius stepped in.

Solutions & Results

Faster response times

In a little over 6 months since implementing DigitalGenius response times have dramatically improved. Now customers are getting meaningful responses in minutes, and are having issues resolved almost immediately. This in turn eliminated much of the pressure surrounding peak.

Developing the team

With many repetitive tickets being handled by DigitalGenius, the team have more time to focus on developing problem-solving skills, and providing a more personalised response to more complicated queries.

Time to value

With email deployed, Blakely are able to automate 45% of email conversations, and fully resolve 65%. The deflection rate on chat is at 75%, demonstrating huge value halfway through the first year.

Ensuring privacy protection

Security is very important to Blakely, as is keeping the trust of their customers. To ensure that the AI Agent is not giving out personal information (such as an address) to the wrong person, it checks 3 points of personal information.
