The Luware-way vs. outdated systems

Luware's solutions directly address your most pressing challenges by transforming how you serve your community. Our platform integrates powerful features into a single, unified environment.

The Luware-way

Without Luware

Offer digital channels

Luware Nimbus gives callers the option to opt out of a voice queue and into a WhatsApp interaction, which an agent can manage later.

Limited channel options

Agents are often overwhelmed during peak times, and prolonged wait times lead to unhappy citizens.

Prioritize vulnerable citizens

Our system checks against a CRM to identify vulnerable citizens and assigns them a higher distribution priority to ensure they get help faster.

No caller prioritization

Vulnerable citizens must wait in long queues, putting them at risk because agents lack visibility to provide proper safeguarding.

Use intelligent intent recognition

Replace a classic IVR with a Virtual User that understands what a caller is asking for. This speeds up resolution, minimizes call transfers, and increases the chance of entering the correct queue the first time.

Rigid IVR systems

With a classic IVR, callers may not know the correct term for their issue, leading to frustration and misrouting.

Detect urgency in real time

Our workflow can detect the urgency of a call and set the distribution priority directly in the Nimbus workflow. This connects people to the right services faster.

Manual urgency detection

Without intelligent urgency detection, rigid workflows with multiple steps can result in urgent needs being handled with the same priority as a standard query.

Automate ticket creation

Guide customers through a ticket creation process using natural language. This streamlines admin processes and reduces form errors.

Manual form filling

Humans must handle the task of filling out forms and creating tickets. This can lead to time-consuming admin processes and more form errors.
