The Directorate of Migration Management, operating under Turkey's Ministry of Interior, oversees migration policies and transactions involving foreigners. The Directorate aims to automate and improve the call center function provided by the Foreigners Communication Center (YIMER) to enhance its services. YIMER offers essential assistance and information to immigrants in Turkey, and this enhancement aims to optimize service quality and efficiency.
Challenge
YIMER provides critical assistance to immigrants in Turkey and offers a range of services and information, including visas and residence permits. The Directorate of Migration Management aimed to streamline its operations by reducing the number of calls handled by live agents at YIMER while enhancing service quality and efficiency in responding to requests.
Solution
Sestek Conversational IVR system, boosted by advanced technologies like Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech, and Natural Language Understanding, was deployed in the YIMER call center. This upgrade brought automation to services, allowing users to handle about 1500 tasks across 50 different options, mainly related to residence and visa applications and checking application status.
With a remarkable 96% speech recognition accuracy and a navigation precision exceeding 85%, the project extended its reach across seven languages: Turkish, English, Arabic, German, Russian, Persian, and Pashto. Moreover, by incorporating Speech Analytics technology, valuable insights were uncovered by scrutinizing interactions where users opt for live agent assistance over IVR.
