Frends Customer Support: How Frends Combines AI Chatbot Efficiency with Exceptional Human Service

Frends enhances customer support with AI chatbot Fin, achieving a 59% resolution rate, improving efficiency, and maintaining high customer satisfaction.

January 29, 2024

Late last year, Frends team took a significant step forward in enhancing our customer support by introducing an AI Support Chatbot named Fin by Intercom. This addition was aimed at boosting our capability to offer more efficient and smarter support solutions. Several months later, the results are in and remarkably positive. Our support system has become more robust and is receiving high praise from our customers. Frends has long been recognized for providing accessible and personalized support services. Fin's integration has built upon this foundation, adding a new layer of efficiency and effectiveness to our customer support.

"We know how support can be cumbersome and impersonal in the IT industry, so for us in Frends, it is important to differentiate and offer a refreshingly accessible and responsive support experience," says Markus Haverinen, Head of Frends Support Operations.

Efficient Support with AI Chatbot Fin

The introduction of Fin, the AI chatbot, has been a major stride forward. Handling over 450 customer interactions, Fin has reached a resolution rate of 59.0% in the last 30 days, significantly higher than the average industry benchmark of a 41% resolution rate. This high efficiency has been key in reducing ticket resolution times, as Fin independently resolves most cases. This allows the human support team to focus more effectively on complex issues, enhancing overall service quality.

Impact in Numbers

98.3% Engagement: Fin has been involved in 98.3% of all customer support conversations.

52.6% Independent Resolution: Fin alone has resolved 52.6% of all support requests without human intervention.

I am convinced that this balance of technology and personalized attention is the future of customer support. This is just a first step towards going beyond the AI hype and into reality," comments Markus.
