Talan expertise makes the difference.

What you should remember about this transformation? To enhance customer satisfaction for this airline industry player, Talan combined sector expertise, mastery of cutting-edge GenAI technologies, and agile methodologies. This transformed the claims processing workflow into a strategic competitive advantage with concrete, measurable results.

In an ultra-competitive and constantly evolving global airline market, airlines face a dual constraint: drastically optimizing their operational costs while improving the customer experience. Our client, a major player in air transport, was confronted with this complex equation.

The airline industry today must deal with:

  • Unprecedented competitive and pricing pressure
  • Increasingly high customer expectations for responsiveness and personalization
  • Strict regulatory constraints regarding compensation
  • Massive and under-exploited data volume
  • A need for continuous optimization of operational processes

The challenges this European leader faced in managing customer complaints:

  • High Volume: Thousands of claims processed manually each day, resulting in excessive response times
  • Language Diversity: Need to handle claims in multiple languages
  • Multiple Channels: Claims originating from various distinct sources (phone, email, chat, social media)
  • High Operational Costs: Significant resources dedicated to low-value tasks
  • Satisfaction Improvement: Countering the negative impact of processing delays on customer loyalty

Talan's positive impact:

The implementation of generative AI in customer complaint management led to savings of over 10 million euros.
