Our Success Stories
Transforming Customer Experience with AI-Powered RAG Solutions
Overview
A global auto parts manufacturer sought to enhance product support and customer experience by providing customers and partners with faster and more accurate information. However, several vital challenges impacted their ability to deliver efficient service:
- Extensive Product Catalog: With a catalog of over 70,000 auto parts—spanning simple components to complex assemblies—customers often struggled to identify the correct parts for their vehicle models.
- Technical Complexity: Important information, such as installation guides, compatibility details, and technical specifications, was scattered across various databases and documents, making it difficult for customer support representatives to retrieve accurate information quickly.
- Inefficient Customer Support: High call volumes and lengthy support interactions drove up operational costs and lowered customer satisfaction.
Solution
We implemented a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to overcome these challenges, transforming the client’s customer support and information retrieval processes.
