How to automate missed bin enquiries with AI

“My bin has been missed” “My bin never got collected today” “My bins haven't been picked up”

For customers, a missed bin collection is inconvenient and the sooner it’s picked up, the better. Add an AI assistant to your team and customers can report a missed bin instantly, 24 hours a day (and have a record of that), so there’s no delay in passing the information onto your collection teams to get them back out to the customer as soon as possible.

Why do companies automate missed bins?
Organisations automate missed bin enquiries because this is a necessary, but repetitive task for support agents to carry out. Using an AI assistant to process missed bin reports speeds up the process for customers, so it’s less frustrating, and gives your teams more time to work on profitable, rewarding or sensitive tasks where the human touch is needed and/or valued.
How does automating missed bins benefit my customers?

When membership enquiries are automed, your response time is instant and reliable responses are sent in real time, letting people know you’re serious about providing them with a high quality membership. This can significantly help improve customer satisfaction and increase loyalty, but at the same time, reduce your customer support costs, so you can spend more on making improvements to your membership overall.
