The Challenge

After-hours calls going to voicemail

Better is a business communications company helping organisations communicate more effectively. But like many businesses, they faced a challenge: what happens when customers call outside office hours?

Before, after-hours calls went straight to voicemail. Customers couldn't get answers, issues piled up overnight, and the team started each morning catching up on messages rather than solving problems proactively.

This created:

100% to voicemail
Every after-hours call went unanswered
Delayed response
Customers waiting until the next business day
Morning backlog
Team starting the day playing catch-up
The Solution

A digital worker that never sleeps

We deployed a digital worker that handles all after-hours calls. It doesn't just answer, it understands the business, helps callers with their questions, creates detailed tickets, and routes everything to the right team for morning follow-up.

Always available
The digital worker answers every after-hours call instantly. No waiting, no voicemail, no frustration.
Knowledge base powered
Connected to Better's knowledge base, the agent knows the business and can actually help callers with their questions.
Automatic ticketing
Every call generates a detailed ticket automatically. Call summary, customer details, and required actions all captured.
Intelligent triage
Tickets are automatically routed to the right department. Sales enquiries go to sales, support issues to support, billing to accounts.
