The story of how a GOOD Energy Company elevated their customer experience in times of stress.
January 2022 was in the Swedish energy industry a month that was to be remembered as the dreaded month of the “January Invoice”. Prices had surged due to energy supply shortages, and many customers were shocked when their invoice arrived, with energy prices higher than it had ever been before. The support volumes were overwhelming, to say the least.
Luckily, January 2022, was also the month where GodEl launched their chatbot through Ebbot.

The results
Ebbot handled the majority of “switching to hourly rate” enquiries and truly took the load off during a difficult time where this question stood for 38% of all tickets.
Agents report feeling way more prepared coming into customer interactions. Partly due to the customer information collected beforehand, partly due to being able to see the conversations between customers and the bot to get a deeper understanding of the problem.
As the bot does most of the grunt admin work the better part of a ticket is already handled once an agent starts working on it in Zendesk.
The ambition of working toward handling tickets with one touch only has been massively helped through the Ebbot solution. 84% of cases solved at the first encounter while 13% of the remaining cases were solved at the second response.
