When we look at Five9 customers, the transportation industry has the least amount of automation and self-service using any technology. They have some of the highest abandonment rates and longest queue hold times across all industries. Transportation suffers from the most archaic back end data systems (green screens and mainframes) and very complex data systems (network/path data). Transportation has a huge opportunity to improve their service for many reasons. Most calls are status calls. Status checks are actually a form of self-service where AI is typically more effective and efficient than a human being. And, it's a proven use case for AI as AI's been used by companies like FedEx, UPS, and USPS for decades. Check out the amazing results we delivered for PIlot Freight using Five9 AI.
