The DigiBOTs solution will help call centres by answering frequently asked questions on Covid-19, take and track messages for call-back if agents are busy and pivot phone calls to digital channels for resolution, the company said. It can also generate ready-to-work reports so decision makers can identify areas of need and respond to employee concerns.

Under DigiBOTs, the company said it also provides two pre-packaged solutions: heath screener bot and the crisis assistance solution.

The health screener bot aims to enhance its clients’ ability to connect with their employees to screen for health issues before reporting to work, it said. The crisis assistance solution leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to provide employees information on health benefits, medical leaves and other human resources topics, the firm added.

The Work@Home solution enables employees to conduct call centre tasks remotely, the company said. It ensures security through data encryption and device lockdown, it added.

The company reported a revenue of $689 million for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement said.
