      Solutions:

      AI-Powered Call Center Agent Scoring Application

      Results:

      Evaluation coverage from 3% to 100% of all calls. Complete visibility of agent performance across all interaction types, times, and customer segments. Quick identification of performance gaps and training needs. Reduced manual efforts and operational costs.

      Location:

      US

      About the Client

      The client is a diversified media organization with an annual revenue of approximately $700 million and a workforce of over 1,500 employees. Operating across content production, broadcasting, digital media distribution, and publishing, the company serves millions of customers worldwide. With a strong focus on innovation, it continuously adapts to emerging technologies to stay competitive in the dynamic media landscape.

      The organization's call center handles an average of 9400 calls daily, through 350 customer service agents. However, their quality assurance program faced significant limitations. With only 12 dedicated QA agents, they could evaluate approximately 280 calls per day, which was just 3% of total call volume. This sampling bias prevented an accurate assessment of agent performance. Critical compliance issues or customer experience problems went undetected in the remaining 97% of calls. Coaching interventions were delayed by weeks due to insufficient data coverage.

      Case Overview

      The manual QA process consumed approximately 2,550 hours monthly, costing an estimated $0.7 million annually in QA labor alone. More critically, the organization lacked visibility into widespread performance trends, compliance risks, and customer satisfaction drivers. This limited their ability to proactively improve service quality and agent performance.

      The organization's leadership evaluated several alternatives, including hiring additional QA staff, implementing traditional call monitoring software, and using off-the-shelf solutions. However, these approaches would scale costs linearly due to the fundamental limitation of sampling-based evaluation. Moreover, off-the-shelf software could not provide the quality and specificity of evaluation. The decision to pursue AI-powered automation was driven by the technology's unique capability to evaluate 100% of interactions while maintaining consistent scoring standards.

          Custom Conversational AI Agent to unlock marketing intelligence

          Results:

          Accelerated campaign development by 3 weeks. Faster intelligence gathering process. Enhanced clarity on customer needs and behavior. Data-driven and targeted marketing campaigns. Improved user engagement and brand trust.

          Location:

          US

          About the Client

          The client is a diversified media organization with an annual revenue of approximately $700 million and a workforce of over 1,500 employees. The company operates across multiple verticals, including content production, broadcasting, digital media distribution, and publishing, serving millions of customers worldwide. The company focuses on evolving with emerging technologies to stay competitive in a rapidly changing media landscape.

          The company handles approximately 9,400 call center interactions daily. It's equivalent to 3.4 million annual conversations' worth of untapped user feedback. However, the marketing team had no scalable method to analyze these conversations. This left them unable to identify trends, measure sentiment, or understand the specific needs and motivations of their users, despite having an excellent data source at hand.

          Case Overview

          The lack of insight was a significant opportunity cost. Marketing campaigns were designed with incomplete information, limiting their effectiveness and ROI. Product development was reactive, relying on delayed or indirect feedback rather than real-time data. Crucially, the organization was missing the ability to proactively understand its users, which is essential for building loyalty and driving engagement in a competitive media landscape.

          The leadership evaluated expanding customer surveys and manual call analysis teams. But surveys yielded low response rates, while manual analysis was unscalable and too expensive. Fingent recognized that an AI Agent-based solution can analyze 100% of call data in real-time while leveraging existing infrastructure from a parallel call center agent evaluation project. The initial concerns about AI accuracy and implementation complexity were addressed through a phased PoC and MVP approach, which demonstrated quick wins during the design phase.

                            About the Client

                            Sony Mobile Communications Inc. is a multinational telecommunications company and an iconic smartphone brand that pioneered innovation in the 2000s. With research and development facilities across borders, the company consistently strived to break new ground in the telecommunications sector.

                            However, Sony's extensive and globally distributed workforce challenged the company to execute a well-connected work culture. The company was determined to end a siloed and disconnected workplace environment by leveraging the latest technologies.
