Overview
EDMO partnered with a Phoenix-based non-profit knowledge-sharing platform renowned for bridging the gap between educators and valuable resources like scholarships, grants, and course specializations. Its objective is to enhance transfer and conversion rates by more than 30% & 50%, respectively, thereby empowering both educators and students with crucial information. By partnering with EDMO, the platform’s transfer and conversion rates surged significantly. Through EDMO’s Conversational intelligence solution, the knowledge-first platform can track leads during business and non-business hours, boosting user engagement to a monumental degree. Its appointment booking process was automated by EDMO’s Conversational intelligence solution, streamlining the rigmarole process and reducing strenuous human effort.
Challenges
The client sought to bring operational efficiency and reduce man-hours in its appointment booking process. Before EDMO’s intervention, the process was heavily reliant on humans, requiring good numbers of hours and effort. Henceforth, they wanted to strengthen the technological front and assimilate Conversational AI technology with human interactions to weed out ineptness and provide empowered solutions to its customers.
The Solution
To ramp up the client’s student engagement process, EDMO deployed its LLM Bot, which gathers and stores valuable information from students on behalf of live agents.

Additionally, our team played an integral role in ensuring:

- Decisive Collaboration: Collaborated intensively with their team to understand their requirements and align the chatbot features with their goals.
- Testing and Validation: Conducted rigorous testing to ensure the chatbot’s accuracy, reliability, and user-friendliness.
- Continuous Support: Provided post-implementation help to ensure uninterrupted operational efficiency.
- Data-Driven Message Automation: Data-driven smart prioritization of words was functionalized in each message to increase engagement with each user.
