This <strong>case study takes industry case <\/strong>studies to analyze how a multi-utility operator in the electricity and gas market could use <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ingo.it\/en\/services\/automation\/ai-reception\/\">AI Reception from INGO <\/a><\/strong>to address critical operational challenges, dramatically improving customer care efficiency and customer satisfaction.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What kind of client might be involved<\/h2>\n\n<p>The protagonist of this case study is a <strong>medium-sized multi-utilities operator<\/strong> active in the Italian electricity and natural gas market. The company mainly serves residential and small-medium business customers in northern Italian regions, managing: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over 800,000 active electricity and gas contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approximately 2.3 million customer care calls per year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A contact center with 120 operators spread over several shifts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>H24\/7 management during emergencies and seasonal peaks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Like many industry players, the company must <strong>ensure compliance with ARERA regulations<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arera.it\/\"><strong>Regulatory Authority for Energy Networks and Environment<\/strong><\/a>) regarding response time, service quality and complaint handling, but the company struggles to achieve the required standards.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the client contacted INGO<\/h3>\n\n<p>The decision to contact INGO matured in the face of <strong>several critical issues that were compromising service quality and operational efficiency<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>1. Unsustainable call volumes during peaks<\/strong>: during the winter months (November-February) and during bill mailing periods, call volume increased by 40-60%, creating telephone queues with waiting times exceeding 15 minutes. This resulted in: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Call abandonment rate of more than 25 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers forced to call back multiple times for same problem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>About 10% of calls disconnected before any resolution, as found in similar surveys of other utilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>2. High operating costs<\/strong>: in order to cope with peak call volumes, it was necessary to use more operators at certain times of the year, thus requiring training and changes in contact center rosters. All this brought an unsustainable expense burden to the company. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>3. Low First Contact Resolution<\/strong>: only 58% of requests were resolved on first contact, well below industry standards. Customers often had to call back several times, increasing frustration and costs. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>4. Inefficient handling of standard requests<\/strong>: about 70% of calls were about repetitive and low-complexity requests<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Information on utility bills and consumption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes to contract data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fault reports and service interruptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requests for installment payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Questions about tariffs and commercial offers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These requests engaged skilled practitioners who could have focused on more complex, high value-added cases.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>5. Difficulties in meeting ARERA standards<\/strong>: ARERA regulations impose precise service levels, with economic penalties for noncompliance. Regulatory risk was a growing concern for management. <\/p>\n<section id=\"b-otndxj_mhdh9a60\" class=\"brxe-section\"><div id=\"b-zznsma_mhdh9a60\" class=\"brxe-block\"><p id=\"b-qpohgi_mhdh9a60\" class=\"brxe-heading\"><strong> First Contact Resolution<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"b-pwwqfv_mhdh9a60\" class=\"brxe-text-basic\">La <strong>First Contact Resolution (FCR)<\/strong>, in ambito customer care, \u00e8 un indicatore che misura la capacit\u00e0 di un\u2019azienda di <strong>risolvere la richiesta o il problema di un cliente durante il primo contatto<\/strong>, senza la necessit\u00e0 di ulteriori follow-up o interazioni successive.

The strategic objectives agreed with INGO were: <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary operational objectives<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reducing hold times<\/strong>: bring average hold time below 60 seconds and zero out missed calls during peaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FCR improvement<\/strong>: achieve 80% resolution on first contact, aligning with industry best

costs<\/strong>: achieve 30-35% savings in total contact center costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scalability and flexibility<\/strong>: ensuring the ability to handle traffic peaks without proportionately increasing staffing levels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer Experience Goals.<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Offer <strong>H24\/7 service

href=\"https:\/\/ingo.it\/en\/services\/automation\/ai-reception\/\">AI Reception solution tailored<\/a><\/strong> for the utilities sector, combining conversational artificial intelligence, advanced natural language processing, and deep integration with existing business systems.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architettura della soluzione<\/h3>\n\n<p>The implemented solution is based on three basic pillars:<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced conversational bots with AI<\/h4>\n\n<p>At the heart of the solution is an intelligent virtual assistant based on technologies from:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Natural Language<\/strong> Understanding <strong>(NLU)<\/strong>: understands natural language and caller intent without the need for rigid menus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text<\/strong>: handles natural conversations in Italian with different regional cadences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Machine Learning<\/strong>: continuously improve performance through learning from interactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The bot was also trained specifically on <strong>vertical utilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep integration with enterprise systems<\/h4>\n\n<p>AI Reception has been natively integrated with:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Corporate CRM<\/strong>: real-time access to customer data, contract history, consumption and payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ticketing system<\/strong>: automatic ticket creation for escalation to human operators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Billing platform<\/strong>: consulting bills, statements and payment status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fault management system<\/strong>: automatic service interruption reporting and status updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Knowledge base<\/strong>: dynamic access to procedures, FAQs and technical documentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This integration allows the bot to <strong>provide personalized and contextual responses<\/strong>, with immediate access to customer-specific information.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Human-AI intelligent orchestration<\/h4>\n\n<p>The solution provides <strong>intelligent routing<\/strong> that optimizes the allocation of requests:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard requests<\/strong> (70% of the total) are handled completely by the bot (Information on historical bills and consumption, changes in master and contract data, duplicate bills, tarrifs and offers, installments, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complex requests<\/strong> are forwarded to specialized operators  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers who <strong>prefer to speak to an operator<\/strong> can request a transfer at any time, without having to start from scratch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Utilities-specific features<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Proactive emergency management<\/strong>: The bot sends proactive communications via SMS\/email to impacted customers, providing automatic updates on the status of work and handles massive alerts reducing the load on the contact center. Proactive communication not only relieves pressure on contact centers but also builds trust by assuring customers that the provider is handling the situation effectively. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer recognition and personalization<\/strong>: the AI automatically identifies the caller by phone number or customer code and greets them by name, immediately displaying their profile. It also remembers previous interactions and the context of open inquiries, tailoring the tone and level of technical detail to the customer&#8217;s profile. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-language<\/strong> support: in addition to standard support in Italian, other languages (including English, French, Spanishetc) can be used for foreign clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ARERA compliance and tracking<\/strong>: All interactions are recorded, there is automatic report generation for regulatory audits, and timely tracking of complaint handling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What results would be possible to achieve<\/h2>\n\n<p>Based on similar implementations in the utilities sector and market benchmarks, the adoption of AI Reception can <strong>generate measurable and significant results <\/strong>both operationally and economically.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operational results<\/h3>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
