Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented Fin/Intercom originally only for email for our CS comms. It has expanded to also our leads, chatbot, HelpCenter, etc. We struggled with a single platform for communication across all these different platforms, and amongst multiple staff members/departments. Intercom has helped solve all of that. Then, when we wanted to work on AI use to expand our workforce without a financial burden on our company, we implemented Fin.

Pros

  • Identify issues a customer/lead has
  • Link HelpCenter articles to help customers find answers
  • Incredible reporting features

Cons

  • Pricing is expensive and dynamic, but I will say it's similar to an hourly staff member. You have to not think of it as a one-time flat-rate purchase. It is like having a real employee (although, fraction of the price!)

Return on Investment

  • Increased customer satisfaction - currently at 100% for the last 6 months
  • Time (and thus money) savings of human hours
  • New roles - AI/training/HelpCenter specialist

Fin by Intercom A Game-Changer for High-Volume Support

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are very happy with Fin by Intercom. We are dealing with around 25k of chats per month and even though we have a big support team - Fin by Intercom helps us significantly with closing 70% of chats per month. It means that Fin by Intercom handles 70% of chats on its own without human interaction. Of course, to get such results, you need to dedicate a special team to train Fin by Intercom and update snippets. But the result is amazing and we are happy with all the effort we put into it!

Pros

  • Gives understanding that customer's issue being checked
  • Promptly analyzing the details of customer's question
  • Following up with personalized recommendations

Cons

  • For example, we can't filter snippets to understand which are no longer relevant. It will be great to be able to filter them by topic, at least, and not to manually go through 2000+ of them.

Return on Investment

  • Reduced response and resolution times
  • New role opportunities created for the team
  • Greater customer satisfaction

Fin has really helped us level up our Technical Services Team

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Fin is used to help deflect the amount of chats our agents get and we use it in every interaction. It helps us to take care of customers faster and allows us to try and help them faster than a human agent can take care of them. We have gone from a 32% deflection to over 56% in the past year and it is allowing our live agents the time to create more articles to inform Fin better and get that resolution even higher.

Pros

  • Quick
  • Efficient
  • Always Learning
  • Gives some really good suggestions on how to improve content

Cons

  • Would love to see help on creating articles with AI

Return on Investment

  • Allowed us to handle more interactions with less people
  • Allowed live agents more time to create better content and improve the content we already had
  • Helped us improve our SLAs by 10%
