Escalation Management

If Agents cannot provide an answer because it is out of the scope of uploaded knowledgebases or the user asks the same question multiple times in a session and seems unsatisfied with the response, Agents will route the question to a human agent.

Value Reporting

Enhanced Supplier Insights

The apexanalytix team can collaborate with clients to monitor and analyze user inquiries and activity via chatbots, identifying potential issues or areas of concern. Future updates may enable automated analysis and real-time insights.

For example: “What questions are most frequently asked by suppliers?” “What segment of suppliers are asking those questions?”

No Public Internet Exposure
  • No Public Internet Exposure

  • No Unauthorized Access

  • No Data Tampering

No Public Internet Exposure

With no public cloud infrastructure, there is no risk of data being exposed to the internet, reducing the likelihood of cyber-attacks and data breaches.

No Unauthorized Access

Agent is designed to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring only authorized personnel can access our client’s data. Furthermore, you can segment what user has access to what level of information. For example, the technology will recognize if a supplier is logged in versus an internal employee and will not give out information not authorized to the user asking the question.

No Data Tampering

With our private infrastructure and client-specific knowledgebases, we can ensure that our client’s data is not tampered with or altered in any way. Our clients decide what information Agent knows. And the data in Agent will be private and protected at all times.
