Helping a Company Provide Multilingual Support in the Hospitality Industry

Challenge

The client was overwhelmed by the number of phone calls from clients requesting assistance with processes such as check-in, booking and finding their hotel. They were looking for agents who could work 24/7 and could handle a wide range of customer requests such as room service, information about things to do in the vicinity and answering general questions about their accommodation.

Solution

Pexly hired an agent to travel around Switzerland and learn all of the details and nuances about the best way to get to a particular destination via Google Maps. They would also learn about the various functions of the jobs such as working in the client’s automated systems, and chatting with the Swiss team.

Since the first stage of implementation was very successful, the client decided to expand the team to four people within just a couple of months. Each team member was fluent in a particular language (French, German, Spanish, and Russian), and together they were responsible for managing apartments and bookings all over the world.

Results 

• The number of solved customer issues increased by 80%
• We set up a well organized structure that required minimal supervision from the client
• We provided customer support in 5 languages
