Getting started with Ultimate

When Ron Gerber joined Tomorrow as Head of Customer Support, he was aware of the responsibility that came with building and growing a support team from the ground up. Sustainability is a deeply ingrained value throughout the company, so Gerber knew that he wanted to maintain a family-style culture in the team. He anticipated that automated solutions could optimize support processes to keep a growing base of customers happy without overburdening his human agents.

Gerber approached Ultimate because his team was unhappy with their first AI provider: They had been struggling with long outages and imprecise intent management. Already impressed with a sales journey that couldn’t have run any more smoothly, Tomorrow collaborated closely with Ultimate’s customer success team to more deeply understand and anticipate their customer’s needs. Tomorrow’s virtual agents seamlessly integrated into Freshchat, the company’s CRM system, and put their multilingual skills to work across all channels to support customers in German and English.

"The sales process was an outstanding experience. The team at Ultimate tried to really understand our needs by asking all the necessary questions rather than just showing a standard demo."

AI use case spotlight: Multilingual chat automation, powered by NLP

  • Gerber and his team learned to use - and love - suggested answers and assisted replies powered by the AI’s Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology, which made intents substantially more reliable.

  • Gerber explains that he chose Ultimate because of its NLP capabilities. In his words, "Many competitors use technology that just translates the input language and then feeds it back to the AI, and we didn’t want our customers to get lost in translation."

  • The virtual agent converses fluently in English and German. Tomorrow also plans to add more European languages in the near future.

AI use case spotlight: halving AHT without compromising quality

  • With only 20 customer support agents handling an average of 5,000 requests per month, response times averaged at about 20 minutes per ticket.

  • Tomorrow reached out to Ultimate because they wanted to fulfil their brand promise: excellent customer support, always and without exception. And automation helped keep that promise. 

  • Virtual agents not only reduced the support team’s average handling time by 50%, they also ramped up overall automation to 30%. This meant Tomorrow’s close-knit team of human agents was able to work healthily, effectively, and sustainably.
