How an AI Chatbot Turned a Lean Aircon Shop into a Customer Service Powerhouse

Businesses today are more productive due to modern productivity solutions like GenAI and automations However, employees still spend much of their time on repetitive, low-value tasks that distract from deeper, more strategic work.

AI chatbots are rapidly changing this dynamic, enabling employees to offload routine tasks and reclaim their attention for more meaningful and creative work.

AI Chatbots

AI chatbots are software applications that use artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate human conversation through text or voice interactions.

Commonly embedded in websites, mobile apps, and messaging platforms, these chatbots provide 24/7 assistance, automate routine tasks, and support customer service operations.

AI chatbots leverage technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to understand user inputs, intent, and generate contextually relevant responses.

As they interact with users, AI chatbots can learn from conversations, improving their accuracy and ability to handle more complex queries over time.

Customer Success Story

AI Chatbot Revolutionizes Local Aircon Business

Challenge
An air-conditioning installation and repair business, facing depleting manpower issues, wanted to harness the power of AI chatbots to keep up with customer inquiries, appointment bookings, and after-hours support.

The sole admin in their team was spending many hours managing bookings, and answering repetitive questions, while also attempting to manage deeper work including invoicing and accounting.

Customer service was limited by the employee’s availability during working hours, and completely unavailable after business hours, a feature that was driving customers to their competitors.

Solution
The customer engaged SVTech to build a website, and implement AI-powered chatbot on their website, Facebook page, and Whatsapp. The chatbot was trained to

  • Answer common services, pricing, and availability
  • Schedule and confirm appointments automatically
  • Send reminders and follow-ups to customers

    • Results

  • 24/7 Availability: The chatbot handled over 80% of inquiries outside office hours, ensuring customers always received prompt responses
  • Increased Bookings: Online appointment bookings increased by 40% within the first three months, as customers could secure slots instantly.
  • Time Savings From Streamlined Bookings Workflow and Conflict Resolution:Calendaring was also integrated, ensuring that scheduling was conducted based on technician’s availability. The sole administrative employee no longer had to laboriously refer to calendars.
  • Higher Customer Satisfaction and Retention:Customers praised the quick, convenient support.
