The Business Challenge

High Call Volume, Low-Value Work

Enterprise customer care teams handle thousands of repetitive inbound calls every day - repair status, technician assignment, complaint follow-up, escalation requests, and callback demands. Most of these interactions do not require a human agent immediately. They require fast identification, CRM lookup, ticket intelligence, and the right next action.

  • Delayed response due to high inbound call volume
  • Customers repeatedly calling for the same complaint status
  • Agents spending time only reading CRM data and ticket updates
  • Missed escalations when SLA deadlines pass undetected
  • New complaints not captured properly during status calls
  • No intelligent decisioning on resolve, escalate, or callback

The Riv.ai Solution

An AI Agent That Acts, Not Just Answers

Riv.ai deploys an AI Customer Care Agent that answers inbound calls, identifies the customer from their calling number, connects with CRM and ticketing systems, understands the issue, and takes the correct action - automatically and instantly.

  • Identify customer from mobile number and pull CRM profile
  • Check active complaint status, SLA, and technician assignment
  • Understand intent: status check, escalation, or new complaint
  • Resolve on call, raise ticket, escalate, or trigger callback
  • Update CRM with summary, intent, sentiment, and next action

Example: AC Repair Service Query

A customer calls and asks: “When will my AC be repaired?” - Riv.ai instantly checks the calling number in CRM, finds the existing complaint, confirms technician assignment and resolution date, and responds naturally:

“Your AC repair complaint is already registered. A technician has been assigned, and the issue is expected to be resolved by 18 June. I can also arrange a callback from the service team if you need further assistance.”

Intelligent Decision Flow

Identify

Understand

Decide

Every inbound call passes through this automated intelligence layer - giving customers accurate, context-aware answers in seconds, without human intervention for routine queries.

Human + AI Workflow

AI Handles Routine Queries

Simple status checks, repair timelines, and technician details are resolved instantly by the AI agent - no wait time, no hold music, no manual CRM lookup.

Intelligent Routing & Escalation

Complex issues are routed to the right human team. Escalations are triggered automatically when SLA is breached or customer sentiment signals urgency.

Human Agents Get Full Context

When a human agent is required, they receive a complete call summary - intent, sentiment, complaint history, and AI-recommended next action - before picking up the phone.

CRM & System Integration

Riv.ai connects with CRM, ticketing software, ERP, field service management, WhatsApp/SMS gateways, and call centre platforms - becoming the voice interface of your entire service ecosystem.

Before vs. After

From Manual Lookups to Automated Resolution

Before Riv.ai

  • Customer calls - agent manually searches CRM
  • Customer repeats issue; agent reads ticket status aloud
  • Previous call context is often missed or ignored
  • Escalation depends entirely on individual agent judgment
  • CRM update incomplete; customer may need to call again

After Riv.ai

  • AI identifies customer instantly from calling number
  • AI checks CRM, complaint history, and technician status automatically
  • AI answers with accurate repair timeline and full context
  • Escalation and callback triggered automatically by AI logic
  • CRM updated after every call; human agent involved only when needed

Business Impact
