Decreasing customer wait times by 93% with Insider’s AI virtual assistant
The challenge
Renault was struggling to efficiently manage customer inquiries and maintain a personalized approach, particularly as the team wanted to cater to a younger, digitally savvy demographic. With traditional communication channels often leading to long response times and disjointed experiences, Renault wanted to streamline its customer interactions while expanding its reach among tech-savvy consumers.
The solution
First, Insider suggested consolidating its customer data with Insider’s Customer Data Platform (CDP). The CDP enables brands to power consistent, relevant experiences across channels. That way, Renault’s customer service would be streamlined between channels.
Insider then suggested Renault leverage its WhatsApp Business Platform. Initially deploying live communication center agents on WhatsApp, Renault realized that the one-to-one conversations took up valuable time, and productivity in other areas was dropping. The brand wanted to increase efficiency so that its agents could dedicate their time to the more high-value inquiries. Insider suggested incorporating its AI virtual assistant to alleviate the pressure on support agents. Insider’s AI native virtual assistant is equipped to respond to over 350 different prompts, offering customers contextual responses within just 20 seconds, ranging from color options to technical specifications. And it can provide this support with quick and accurate responses 24/7. By incorporating Insider’s AI virtual assistant on WhatsApp, Renault shortened wait times, enhanced efficiency, and is engaging with more young customers than ever before on their favorite channel.
“With Insider’s WhatsApp solution, we’ve created more seamless, customized experiences that have helped us better understand our customers, while generating significant sales leads in six months. Of the leads attributable to WhatsApp, over 4% turned into sales, which is an incredibly high rate in the automotive industry. Through Insider’s WhatsApp solution, we’ve gotten closer to our customers and we’re looking forward to the road ahead.”

Summary
“Since launching Insider’s WhatsApp solution and partnering it with the virtual assistant, our customer service response times have decreased by 93%. As we create immersive, consultative processes in WhatsApp, our communication center teams now only handle 15% of inquiries, and they can resolve those conversations 35% faster.”
Director of Communications
Looking ahead
Renault is looking to make transferring information from WhatsApp to the showroom even easier by integrating 130 dealerships directly into Insider’s WhatsApp solution, reducing the time for sales to act on a lead. Bringing dealerships into WhatsApp conversations will streamline the buying process and encourage sales of car accessories since dealers can instantly share available stock.
Favorite feature
WhatsApp has fast become Renault’s favorite Insider solution. The car manufacturer has seen incredible results since adopting the channel into its support stack, including a 4% increase in CVR and a 93% decrease in response times.
