The channels

The situation
After finding building their own bot time-consuming and inflexible, Superbet was looking for a more sophisticated solution that could speak Romanian fluently.
The solution
Chat automation with a native Zendesk integration and the ability to speak Romanian at native fluency.
Getting started with Ultimate
When Ultimate connected with Superbet’s leadership, they were frustrated by their current solution and looking for change. Superbet wanted a provider that could deploy natively in their CRM provider, Zendesk, go live quickly, and guide them through building great conversational experiences. Importantly, they were looking for an AI-based solution that could handle the complex Romanian language.
Ultimate impressed them with their multilingual deep-learning technology and their strong Zendesk partnership. Superbet decided to drop the development of their internal chatbot to focus on working with Ultimate.
Ultimate dedicated a customer success manager to onboard Superbet in just a few weeks. They also helped the Superbet Operations and Customer Support leadership understand how to craft great conversations and rethink their approach to automated chat support using conversational design and industry best practices. Within a few weeks, Superbet went live with their virtual agent, iRina, who was able to instantly answer customer requests.
AI use case spotlight: frontline support to assist agents
- Superbet’s support team was looking to decrease wait times and resolve requests faster, while still providing winning customer experiences.
- After implementing chat automation, their first response time was decreased by 74%, with 37% of incoming chats being handled entirely by their virtual agent, iRina — with no human intervention.
- This gave agents more time to provide a personalized touch when it came to complex cases. Conversations are now resolved 10% faster overall, and 63% faster when both iRina and an agent have been involved.
