The Challenge: Scaling Customer Engagement
Overwhelming Manual Workload
Founded in 2013, MNC Play serves millions of Indonesian customers with IPTV, broadband, and multimedia services. The company faced critical operational challenges:
Limited human resources for outbound retention calls
Repetitive payment reminders consuming agent time
Complex upsell strategies requiring sophisticated pricing
Declining renewal rates and slowing revenue growth
The Scale Problem
MNC Play struggled with diverse billing cycles occurring monthly, quarterly, and yearly. Human agents couldn’t handle the volume effectively.
This shortage led to:
• Subscriber lapses
• Dropped renewal rates
• Reduced revenue growth
• Agent burnout from repetitive tasks
The Solution: Human-AI Copilot Implementation
Phase 1: Gradual Automation
In October 2022, MNC Play adopted WIZ.AI’s Talkbot technology and launched it with strategic phases:
Month 1
5,000 automated reminder calls
Month 6
30,000 automated calls monthly
Year 1
125,000+ subscribers connected
Scalability Advantage
The AI copilot approach delivered unprecedented flexibility. Unlike human agents, Talkbot scales up and down instantly with no resource limitations.
This would have required over 200 additional human agents if done manually.
Outstanding Results: AI-Human Partnership Success
Payment Collection Performance
The strategy generated impressive metrics:
