This allows agents to focus more of their time on the customer and deliver a more personalized experience.
Startek Knowledge Management reduces ticket creation and triage times by up to 35 percent, reduces manual effort in email customer support by as much as 50 percent and reduces AHT by up to 20 percent across all omnichannel interactions.

Startek Cloud combines technology and a process framework, to enable agents to work remotely on any device, while built-in security governance safeguards operations at all times.

"Our Future of Work strategy prioritizes the innovative use of technology to reduce agent effort and enable our teams to deliver world-class CX whether in brick-and-mortar or remote roles. Startek Agent AI is the next step in the deployment of this strategy, At the forefront of contact center technology, our pilot programs demonstrate that employing technology to improve the agent experience is a win-win-win solution, delivering measurable benefits for our clients and their customers as well as our people."
