Problem

AutoNation needed to understand how dealership staff handled inbound calls and where callers failed to become appointments. Managers also needed to identify locations that missed calls.

Approach

AutoNation used Invoca to record and transcribe inbound calls, then score conversations with AI against its call-handling criteria. Managers used the scores for coaching, and employees reviewed their own recordings. Dealerships also used call-volume reports to adjust staffing.

Results

100%of inbound conversations analyzed by AI for agent performance, according to InvocaVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

Invoca reported fewer missed calls and more conversions after staffing changes, without publishing the size of either improvement.
