Shared Services Connected Ltd (SSCL) has announced an exciting partnership with PolyAI as it launches Customer Experience Management – revolutionizing traditional contact centre services with next-generation AI technology.

Customer Experience Management is a new proposition from SSCL, combining its industry leading expertise in multi-platform contact centres with innovative technology capabilities from parent company Sopra Steria. These customer experience hubs use all the latest technology and over 10 years of industry award-winning operational excellence.

SSCL’s experienced customer advisors will be supported by the latest PolyAI digital voice assistants – accessible virtual agents attuned in ensuring vulnerable customers are looked after and complex cases are resolved quickly.

Marco Ndrecaj, Director of SSCL Customer Experience Management said: “We’re delighted to partner with PolyAI to propel us into the technological future of customer service and experience. This innovative conversational AI solution seamlessly integrates with our state-of-the-art omnichannel platform, creating a bespoke front-end experience that ensures a smooth user journey and builds on our industry leading First Contact Resolution (FCR) rate of 93% and a Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) of 94%.”

"As a Cambridge spinout headquartered in London, the PolyAI team is thrilled to provide our world-class voice assistants to enable SSCL's ambitious plan in advancing what's possible in customer experience. A more accessible government is a more proficient government, which makes for a better served constituency. "And as a British company with more than a hundred employees living throughout the UK, this is fantastic news."
