The Challenge 

The rapidly expanding global travel company Headout faced several customer service challenges:

Scaling support across time zones: With customers in 196 countries, they needed to provide 24/7 customer assistance in multiple languages.

Handling diverse inquiries: From booking modifications to cancellations and refunds, their support team managed a wide range of customer requests.

Cost-effective growth: Maintaining high-quality customer service while controlling costs was crucial as the company expanded into new markets.

Vacation plans of people can change spontaneously and a lot. That makes exceptional customer service essential for building brand loyalty and driving repeat business as a travel business.

The Solution 💡

Headout decided to implement voice AI technology for some of their inquiries and countries. Leaping AI's voice agents now handle a significant portion of customer inquiries in Spain, Singapore and Australia, providing fast, accurate, and natural-sounding assistance in English and Spanish.

Implementation Approach

Several factors contributed to the successful deployment of voice AI for the travel business:

Phased rollout: Launch of the AI voice agents in stages, starting with their markets in Spain, Singapore, and Australia. This approach allows for continuous optimization before expanding to additional regions.

Seamless integration: Leaping AI's platform integrated smoothly with existing booking systems and CRM, enabling the AI to access real-time information for accurate customer support.

Ongoing training: The voice AI continuously learns from past interactions, improving its understanding of Headout's inquiries and adapting to evolving customer needs.
