Why: Voice is the best computer interface for humans

Voice communication is the most fundamental form of human interaction. It allows us to share ideas, resolve issues, and build relationships. Despite the rise of digital communication channels, voice remains a powerful yet often underestimated tool for brands to connect with their customers. At CallShift.ai, we believe that enhancing voice communication in call centers can lead to significant improvements in customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

However, from healthcare to e-commerce, Call Centers face numerous challenges:

• Scalability Issues: Scaling up operations to meet peak demand periods can be both costly and inefficient.
  A report by ContactBabel reveals that 62% of contact centers struggle with scalability.
• High Operational Costs: Traditional call centers incur significant costs in terms of staffing, training, and infrastructure.
  According to Deloitte, labor costs account for 60-70% of total call center operating costs.
• Inconsistent Service Quality: Human agents, despite their best efforts, can deliver inconsistent service due to fatigue, stress, or lack of training.
  ‍A study by Zendesk found that 50% of customers experience inconsistent service from call centers.

These pain points underscore the need for a transformative solution that not only reduces costs but also enhances service quality and scalability.

Our role is to empower call center owners with an easy-to-use interface, straightforward management capacities for internal knowledge processes, and top-notch quality monitoring in real-time.
