AI is only as good as its data. Data is the backbone for AI to improve experiences, whether that experience is the GPS guiding you to the shortest route, the streaming service you access to binge-watch the latest series, or the automatic call distribution (ACD) connecting customers to your agents.Legacy routing solutions were ripe for disruption, and AI routing is emerging as a leading strategy for businesses to use the power of data to predict the best agent-customer pairing. By perfecting each customer-agent pairing, businesses are creating better experiences for customers with better outcomes for their bottom-line.
What Smarter Customer Connections Mean for Businesses
AI routing solutions gather insights from past interactions, discovering how customers prefer to interact and how agents handle different types of interactions. In doing so, they:
Deliver immediate value. Making the best customer-agent pairing immediately improves each routed interaction, enabling businesses to achieve value from Day One.For each interaction, AI and ML (machine learning) know the best agent pairing for each customer—instead of pairing the customer randomly with an agent, data drives the pairing. It puts data right at the forefront of connections to drive results without any process changes or behavioral change on the part of agents—no training, coaching or ongoing change management required. That enables businesses to realize immediate results from better connections.
By pairing each customer with the unique agent optimally suited to solve their problem, you can turn variability into direct value for your agents, customers and ultimately the bottom line.

Not every agent is the best match to solve a customer’s problem in a way that’s best for them—what works for one person may not work for another.
