Secondly, spotting operational inefficiencies or service issues. Beyond fraud, anomaly detection can provide valuable operational insights. For instance:
Sudden drop in inbound call volume: Could indicate a shop network issue, a problem with call routing, or a broader service outage that needs immediate attention.
Unexpected spike in call transfers: Might signal that agents are struggling with a new product, a policy change, or a recurring customer issue, highlighting a need for retraining or process improvement.
Unusual call durations for specific agents: Could indicate an agent struggling with call handling, or perhaps effectively resolving complex issues. These insights allow contact center managers to proactively address problems, optimize resource allocation, and improve overall service quality before they impact customer satisfaction broadly.
Thirdly, uncovering shifts in customer sentiment or demand. Anomalies in call patterns can also be leading indicators of changing customer behavior or sentiment. A sudden increase in calls about a specific product feature might indicate confusion or a bug. A decrease in calls from a usually active segment could signal disengagement or migration to a competitor. By identifying these deviations, businesses can quickly adapt their strategies, refine products, or launch targeted re-engagement campaigns.
