Sportsklubben Brann Enhances Customer Interaction with LeadDesk's Chatbot Solution

Sportsklubben Brann is a professional football club based in Bergen, Norway, renowned for its passionate fanbase and rich history. Founded in 1908, the club competes in the Norwegian Eliteserien and boasts multiple league titles and cup victories. Brann is committed to engaging with its fans and enhancing the matchday experience, both at their home ground, Brann Stadion, and online.

Need: Streamline Customer Service Inquiry Operations

Sportsklubben Brann faced a significant challenge in managing the increasing volume of customer service inquiries, particularly during peak times such as match days and ticket sales.

To maintain a high standard of service and keep their fans satisfied, Brann recognized the necessity to enhance the operational efficiency of their customer service.

They identified several problems which they needed to overcome:

• On match days and during ticket sales, Brann received a high volume of basic inquiries, which consumed much of the customer service team’s time.
• With limited resources to manage customer service, Brann struggled to handle the large volume of inquiries. This often led to long wait times and unsatisfactory service experiences for the fans.
• The increased workload on the customer service staff divided their attention, making it difficult to focus on more complex or unique issues that required personalized attention.
• Handling repetitive queries manually was time-consuming and inefficient, causing delays and reducing the customer service team’s overall effectiveness.

“We were overwhelmed by customer service inquiries, especially during peak times. Our single customer service representative couldn’t keep up with the volume, leading to delays and frustration.” – Mads Liabø, Marketing Manager

Solution: Implementing LeadDesk’s Chatbot

When Sportsklubben Brann addressed their issues, they discussed LeadDesk expertise providing AI chatbot solution, which automated responses to frequently asked questions and streamlined customer service operations.

The LeadDesk Chatbot stood out itself with advanced self-help features, seamlessly integrating into Brann’s existing support infrastructure. This allowed fans quick and easy access to information on tickets, matches, and exclusive promotions.

Implementing this solution enabled Sportsklubben Brann to allocate more resources to address complex issues. By automating responses to frequently asked questions, the chatbot significantly reduced the workload for customer service staff and improved overall efficiency in handling repetitive queries.

In summary, Sportsklubben Brann’s partnership with LeadDesk brought:

• Automated responses to frequently asked questions.
• Improved fan access to information on tickets, matches, and promotions.
• Reduced workload for customer service staff.
• Better resource allocation for complex issues.
