Service Optimization and Consumption Analysis
The consumption analysis service, which is designed to clarify doubts about invoice amounts, also underwent optimizations that resulted in an 8-point increase in the NPS (Net Promoter Score), a key metric for measuring customer satisfaction. We noticed that the speed at which people consume information and digital content is increasingly faster, and this led us to identify new opportunities to improve our customers' experience in this AI environment.
Improved Customer Experience
By introducing more agile tools, we were able to maintain clarity and precision in customer service via artificial intelligence, ensuring that customers receive information efficiently and make better decisions. Thiago Trevisan, Director of IT, Innovation and Customer Experience at Comgás, shared that many customers who previously opted for voice service, before the option of 1,5x accelerated audio playback, reported impatience, which often led to hasty choices and errors in customer service direction.
