Problem

Merlin runs attractions around the world, and guests contact it at every stage of a visit, from planning and ticketing to help inside the park. The company wanted routine requests handled faster and complex ones sent to the right person.

Approach

Merlin used NiCE's CXone platform to cover guest contact across the visit. The platform automates routine requests, gives staff real-time guidance during interactions and routes complex queries to the right expert. NiCE said the gains were recorded over the past year as the rollout advanced.
