Problem
We had a lot of repetitive questions coming through to our customer services team which were just stock answers that they were providing back to customers. We were paying for a person to provide a verbal FAQ response.

Superdrug was facing an operational challenge due to a high volume of repetitive customer inquiries. These routine queries were monopolising the time of customer service agents, resulting in inflated operational costs and reduced productivity.
Looking to enhance efficiency and the customer experience, Superdrug sought a solution to automate these queries. They aimed to reduce the manual involvement in handling routine inquiries, freeing up their customer service team to address more complex issues.
Beyond operational efficiency, Superdrug also aimed to improve customer satisfaction. They understood that swift and accurate responses were essential in the competitive retail landscape. By automating repetitive queries, they hoped to provide faster answers, increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty while also driving business growth.
