Rabobank: Responding Quickly to Invoice Queries fr...

Paul_P · ‎11-04-2020

Challenges and Opportunities

Identify repetitive functions that can be automated using intelligent technologies such as chatbots

Deploy a chatbot based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology to answer standard, repetitive invoice queries from suppliers

Reduce the workload of service-desk teams and enable them to focus on answering more complex inquiries

Why SAP

SAP Conversational AI service, in SAP Extension Suite, for outstanding customer and employee experiences using chatbots

Ability to connect SAP Conversational AI with systems such as the SAP ERP application

Trusted partner for data privacy and security as the cloud chatbot collects company-internal data

Assistance with implementation of chatbot “Billy,” which fields standard invoice queries such as when a supplier’s invoice will be paid

After: Value-Driven Results

Lighter workloads for service-desk teams, including when working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic

Better service for suppliers, with the chatbot available to answer invoice, queries 24 hours a day, and staff able to focus on more-specific, nonstandard questions, supporting them during the COVID-19 lockdown when the number of such inquiries surged

Customer Testimonial

“SAP Conversational AI helps us stay resilient and agile by connecting powerful chatbots with existing systems. This lets service teams focus on adding value to the business and has lightened their workload during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
