“When the solution was implemented, the company had no customer service, given the explosive demand for our services. The telephone lines were completely saturated, even our personal phones collapsed. It was impossible to support this demand with agents. The only way to solve it was by incorporating the Wittybots chatbot through the WhatsApp platform.”
