Artificial intelligence brings us closer to our customers


“We know which issues are important to our customers and what their mood is, and can react to it quickly.”

Swisscom develops services in the field of artificial intelligence for its corporate customers. The solutions are individualised – just like the “Sonar” software used to aggregate and evaluate customer feedback. Swisscom Channel Management is using it to improve interaction with customers.



Challenge

How do you successfully identify your customers’ moods quickly, exhaustively and precisely? Previously this process was time-consuming to organise: customer feedback and opinions can turn up on innumerable communication channels – such as Facebook and forums, as well as on resources only accessed internally, such as customer chat logs, call centres or emails.



Solution

Sonar gathers customer feedback on defined topics – such as new inOne products – available on all external and internal channels. Artificial intelligence is used to automatically identify the mood that characterises a statement, using it to generate insights and visualise the results. Highly sophisticated algorithms allow the AI system to understand the meaning of texts.
