Helps businesses further utilize call logs for marketing whilst reducing call agents’ workload

For the service platform, transcosmos has adopted “BEDORE Voice Conversation (*1),” a voice conversation engine powered by speech recognition and intent inference algorithms. Building on both BEDORE’s knowhow of automated chat and voice conversation that utilizes algorithms they have developed to date, and transcosmos’s knowledge of inquiry data analysis, transcosmos has successfully developed the service that responds to customer call inquiries automatically with a synthesized voice, thereby closing incoming calls without any human agent intervention.
transcosmos intends to offer this service primarily for businesses that receive seminar and event entry requests via call and for e-commerce and mail order companies that receive and place product orders via the channel.

All they need is transfer incoming calls from their existing interactive voice response (IVR) flow to the number for “automated call answering service,” then the service will be implemented and ready in a minimum two weeks’ time.
