In the highly competitive e-commerce space, efficient customer service is a key differentiator. HelloFresh, a global leader in meal kit delivery, sought to optimize its customer experience by reducing the burden on its support teams while enhancing the quality of service for its customers. This case demonstrates how Teneo.ai’s Conversational IVR solution, OpenQuestion, helped HelloFresh achieve these goals by automating interactions and improving both customer and employee satisfaction.
The Challenge
With millions of customer interactions per month, HelloFresh faced typical e-commerce challenges: high call volumes, long wait times, and overstretched customer support. Traditional customer service systems struggled to meet demand, leading to inefficient processes and overwhelmed support agents. The company needed a solution that could scale with its rapid growth while maintaining high service standards.
The Solution: Teneo’s Conversational AI
To address these challenges, HelloFresh implemented Teneo’s Conversational AI. The platform’s intelligent virtual assistant, Brie, was launched across multiple digital channels, such as HelloFresh’s app and website. This AI-driven solution could handle a wide range of customer inquiries, from meal selections and delivery schedules to account management, all while offering a natural, intuitive customer experience.
The solution allowed HelloFresh to automate over 30% of chat interactions, providing quick and accurate responses without the need for human intervention. By integrating with HelloFresh’s existing systems, Teneo’s AI also freed up support teams to focus on more complex customer issues, improving overall productivity.
