Problems of manual process

Operators must manually review each lead, leading to delays, errors and a significant burden on the team. Decisions are often subjective and inconsistent.

High personnel costs

Maintaining a team to handle leads generates significant operating costs. Each lead requires an average of 34 hours of work, which translates into a £165 processing cost.

WHY IT'S WORTH IT

The value from implementing Agent AI at Volubus

Automation of 100% of operational decisions

The AI agent takes over repetitive, manual decisions in sales and customer service - from qualifying inquiries to quoting and assigning leads. As a result, companies can handle 5x more inquiries without growing their team.

Immediate decision-making 

The AI agent analyzes queries in real time, qualifying them and making decisions in 1-2 minutes, which in a standard process takes a human as long as 10-20 minutes per query. In addition, it works 24/7 rather than 8am-4pm.

Standardization and no errors in the process

With built-in rules and business logic, AI eliminates human error, ensuring that decisions are consistent and correct. All qualifications are transparent and recorded in the system, avoiding chaotic actions.

Integration with CRM and automated lead management

The AI agent automatically shifts leads in the CRM (e.g. Pipedrive, HubSpot, Airtable), recording the reasons for decisions and escalating cases that require human intervention. This makes the entire sales and customer service process run smoothly. The agent will also assign a salesman if he is unsure of a decision.

Saving 300+ hours per month

In the Volubus case study, Agent AI saved between 183 and 316 hours per month. On an annual basis, this adds up to more than 2,000 fewer hours of manual labor, which translates into huge savings and greater efficiency for the team.

Dashboard and process control

All of the AI Agent's decisions are monitored in the dashboard, giving you full control over the process and allowing for continuous improvement.

Scalability of the company without recruitment

AI agent takes over up to 100% of repetitive decisions, eliminating the need to hire new employees

Zero errors

The AI agent works according to rules, not the mood of the employee, ensuring repeatability and error-free performance

Flexible rules

You can change the rules or add new decisions at any time, adapting the process to your needs

Automation with AI

Case Study Volubus - business context

Volubus has broken through the "growth ceiling" with Agent AI. The results? Automated handling of 85% of inquiries, freeing up 300 team hours per month, instant response in 1 minute (previously several hours), 5 times higher sales productivity and zero errors in the process.

Volubus customer business context

Volubus is an intermediary company in the organization of bus transportation, which collects applications from customers through the website. After receiving an application, employees verify the completeness of the information - if the data is missing, the application goes to the stage of completion, and if all the information is complete, the application is forwarded to the carriers, who can prepare an accurate quote for the service.

Manually managing this process with thousands of requests is unscalable, and the first stage of data verification is a critical bottleneck in the company's growth, significantly limiting its ability to expand and grow revenue.

Problem: Qualifying inquiries blocked sales

Each inquiry at Volubus required manual verification by the sales team, which resulted in:

  • Highly time-consuming - an average of 11-19 minutes per query.
  • Congestion in the sales process - inability to handle all requests quickly.
  • Lack of standardization - each decision depended on individual evaluations of salespeople.
  • The risk of human error - misqualifications led to problems in later stages.
  • Lack of scalability - an increase in the number of inquiries meant that more people had to be hired.
  • Risk of loss of knowledge - employee turnover meant loss of experience and the need for long-term induction of new people.

Challenge: Increase throughput of the first stage of the sales process

Automate the first stage of the sales process so that the Volubus team can handle many more inquiries without increasing headcount and while maintaining a high quality of service.

Solution: Automatic query qualification with Agent AI

The AI agent has taken over 100% of repetitive decisions in the query qualification process. The system operates autonomously and verifies each query in seconds, instead of 11-19 minutes.

85%
inquiries proceed to the "Contact the Supplier" stage.
15%
inquiries go to "We need more information" stage

How does Agent AI work in Volubus?

1 Analyzes data from the query - checks for completeness of addresses, dates, number of passengers and transport conditions.
2 Makes a decision - whether the application can go to the supplier or needs to be completed.
3 Automatically pushes the lead in the CRM - if everything is correct, it passes it on for further handling.
4 Provides a full decision report - every AI action is recorded in the system, providing full control over the process.
Dashboard AI

Transparency and full control

Not only does the AI agent automatically make decisions, but each of its actions is recorded in a dedicated dashboard, providing full control over the process.

General Dashboard Dashboard
✅ Lead: correct decision ✅ Correct decision
❌ Lead: wrong decision ❌ Wrong decision
General Dashboard
The correct decision
Incorrect decision

What does the dashboard monitor?

Quality of decisions

Compares AI assessments with sales team decisions.

Accuracy and efficiency

It shows what percentage of AI decisions are in line with what a trader would do.

Errors and corrections

Identifies cases where human intervention was necessary.

History and decision logic

It allows you to trace every AI decision and its basis.

Benefits of the dashboard

Full transparency

At any time, you can check why the AI made a particular decision.

Auditability

If deviations occur, they can be quickly detected and corrected.

No "black box"

Each company has full control over AI, rather than blindly trusting its decisions.

Continuous optimization

The system learns from historical decisions, constantly improving.

Process

What did the implementation look like?

Sailes and Volubus have been working together for a year, so the AI implementation project was carried out as part of a well-established business relationship.

Our consultants proposed a comprehensive solution to streamline the most time-consuming stage of the sales process - lead qualification.

The implementation proceeded from the MVP phase, through the full version with rules and dashboards, to the stabilization of the system, achieving significant savings in time and resources.

Identification of key sales bottleneck

A detailed analysis of the business process showed that lead qualification blocks the potential for scaling sales and consumes an average of 10 hours per week per sales person.

Process analysis

A detailed analysis of CRM data confirmed that the lead qualification stage was the most time-consuming and not very cost-effective. This stage blocked the possibility of increasing sales throughput without additional recruitment.

MVP - DEMO version

We implemented a pilot solution on a sample of 200 customer inquiries, achieving 87% efficiency in automatic qualification and saving 40 hours in the first week. ROI at this stage has already exceeded 50%.

Full Version

Then we took care of the full implementation: AI rules and decisions, dashboard with decisions and report, adding an AI Agent to perform activities in the Sales Process and record the result of CRM work

Stabilization

For the first 3 weeks, we monitored the performance of the AI Agent on the chart and effectiveness dashboard and corrected those decisions that needed correction.

Reimbursement of hundreds of hours per month

After 3 weeks, we clarified all the rules by which the AI Agent makes decisions.
Agent saves hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of zlotys every month.
