DTEK Odessa Grids in Viber and Telegram – 80% of services are available to the customers via chatbot
Over 80% of the electricity distribution services are available to the DTEK Odessa Grids household consumers via chatbot – a convenient and user-friendly 24/7 digital assistant. Customers can use Viber and Telegram messengers to submit meter readings, receive personal notifications about emergency and scheduled power cutoffs, file an application about lack of electricity or meter maintenance request.
The main advantages of this service – its user-friendliness and round-the-clock access to company’s services. The chatbot helps customers save time on calls to the call-center, avoid standing in queues and get a service, while not leaving home or from anywhere in the world.
“Over the course of a year of functioning, DTEK Odessa Grids chatbot already has over 260,000 subscribers, while the most popular service is submission of meter readings, which is being used by more than 125,000 customers every month,” – underscored company’s representative.
