The Challenge

Banco Bolivariano, a leading bank in Ecuador, faced the challenge of keeping up with the digital revolution that has swept across all industries, including the banking sector. The bank was used to rigid and bureaucratic processes, and adapting to the rapid changes was a significant challenge. The bank set ambitious goals in 2017 to lead the Ecuador banking sector, provide an innovative customer experience, maintain service effectiveness above 80% in high traffic without using additional resources, and grow the implementation of products for new customers while diversifying the product portfolio for existing customers. The challenge was to meet these goals while providing fast and simple answers to customers at any time and through any channel.

About The Customer

Banco Bolivariano was established in Ecuador in 1980 with the mission of providing high-quality, efficient financial services. The bank has always prioritized its customers, offering personalized and professional services. Today, Banco Bolivariano serves 700,000 customers in Ecuador and continues to lead banking innovation in the country. The bank's customer service team is guided by the mission to provide amazing experiences to its customers.

The Solution

To meet these challenges, Banco Bolivariano implemented AgentBot, Aivo's conversational chatbot powered by artificial intelligence. The bank introduced a new AI-powered agent, Avi24, to provide automatic service 24/7. Avi24 was designed to not only respond to customer queries but also resolve transactional procedures in a conversational way. For security, a user validation system via OTP was added. Avi24 operates across multiple channels, including webchat, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. The bank also implemented an automated sales strategy to up-sell and cross-sell other banking products and services through WhatsApp. The integration between the bot and Genesys allows conversations with Avi24 to be quickly referred to a human agent without changing the chat window or the channel.

Operational Impact

  • The implementation of Avi24 has significantly transformed Banco Bolivariano's customer service operations. The AI-powered agent has taken over the task of handling FAQs, freeing up human agents to focus on more complex issues that require their attention, empathy, and human skill. Today, Avi24 has a human transfer rate of only 3%, meaning the virtual assistant can handle 97% of the queries. This has not only improved the efficiency of the customer service operations but also strengthened the bank-customer bond. The bank has also seen a significant increase in the adoption of WhatsApp by customers, making it the bank's main channel not only for support issues but also for transactions and banking procedures.

Quantitative Benefit

  • Automated daily queries increased by 271%, from 3,346 to 12,430 between November 2018 and April 2020.

  • 82% average bot efficiency across all channels, with 88% efficiency on WhatsApp, 84% on Facebook Messenger, and 76% on the web.

  • 98% of automated inquiries are made through WhatsApp.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Case Study
Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.
