Die Herausforderung: Kommunikationsrevolution in einer klassischen Branche

Die Herausforderung: Kommunikationsrevolution in einer klassischen Branche

Das Stolberger Familienunternehmen Kerschgens Werkstoffe & Mehr ist seit 1876 der Stahl- und Metall-Dienstleister. Mit einem breiten Sortiment in Stahl, Edelstahl, NE-Metallen, Betonstahl, Rohren und führend in Lochblechen in Deutschland. Kerschgens stand Ende 2023 vor der großen Aufgabe, seine Kommunikationsprozesse zu modernisieren. Es galt, ein System zu implementieren, das den Informationsfluss zwischen Kunden, Innen- und Außendienst nahtlos und effizient gestaltet, ohne sich dabei allein auf die Einführung eines vollwertigen CRM-Systems zu verlassen. Ziel war es, die Antwortzeiten zu verkürzen und die Qualität der Kundenkommunikation zu verbessern.

„Die Implementierung von VoiceLine hat uns nicht nur ermöglicht, effizienter zu arbeiten, sondern auch die Art und Weise, wie wir mit unseren Kunden interagieren, neu definiert. Wir sind stolz darauf, mit dieser innovativen Lösung Pionierarbeit in unserer Branche zu leisten.“

Goal: Establish an efficient communication system between customers, back office and field service

Goal: Establish an efficient communication system between customers, back office and field service

The objective was to create an efficient communication system that optimises the interfaces between customers, back office and field service. The introduction of VoiceLine was not only intended to minimise the documentation effort, but also to shorten communication channels and improve the flow of information in order to be able to respond to customer enquiries in a more precise and targeted manner and thus differentiate the company from the competition.

Result: Quantum leap from paper work to AI

Result: Quantum leap from paper work to AI

By introducing VoiceLine, Kerschgens Werkstoffe & Mehr has succeeded in offering a fundamentally new customer experience. After the field service visit, customers receive customised offers from the back office on the same day. The information collected is available to sales management at regular intervals in AI-generated reports for evaluation in order to recognise overarching customer needs at an early stage. At the same time, the field staff are relieved of 2 hours of documentation work every week, as they have modern voice-controlled software at their disposal for tedious administrative tasks.

How they did it: Simple data capture using voice directly on-site

Simple data capture by voice while travelling

Kerschgens' sales representatives use VoiceLine's voice input to quickly and easily capture information directly after and between customer visits. This means that all thoughts can be easily recorded while they are still fresh and nothing is forgotten.

Direct information flow to the back office

By forwarding the recorded information directly to the back office, customer enquiries can be answered more quickly. In addition, the more detailed documentation leads to fewer queries and enquiries can be answered more precisely.

Structured data analysis with AI

Kerschgens Werkstoffe & Mehr now uses VoiceLine's advanced AI to generate and analyse high-quality, structured sales information from spoken language. This allows data to be recorded efficiently, assigned to customer entries and analysed holistically in order to increase operational efficiencies and draw strategic conclusions.
