Today, customer service is more than just resolving issues – it’s a strategic function supporting global distributors, technical partners, and end customers across time zones and languages. As product catalogs expand and supply chains grow more complex, service teams face increasing pressure to deliver fast, accurate, and multilingual support – without ballooning costs.
Traditional customer service platforms often fall short. They’re rigid, siloed, and heavily reliant on human intervention – even for repetitive or straightforward inquiries. Complex technical questions often require expert escalation, leading to delays, higher costs, and frustration across the value chain.
That’s why at Miquido, we work with manufacturers to build next-generation customer service solutions powered by Generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation. Through our AI Kickstarter Framework, we help companies co-develop intelligent, multilingual AI service agents that integrate with existing systems and deliver real-time, round-the-clock support.
The result is a seamless, scalable service layer that connects directly to ERP, CRM, and APS platforms – designed to grow with your operations and reduce reliance on manual processes. Integrating AI with CRM systems enhances operational efficiency and supports business growth. Additionally, a manufacturing CRM plays a crucial role in improving planning, production scheduling, and data management.
Who it’s for:
- Manufacturers with global customer bases and complex post-sales support needs
- OEMs managing high volumes of technical or order-related inquiries
- B2B companies serving dealers, distributors, and partners in multiple languages
- Service teams looking to automate first-line support without compromising accuracy
- Operations leaders aiming to centralize support and reduce escalation load
Challenges in traditional manufacturing customer service
Legacy service models and tools often lack the intelligence and flexibility needed for today’s manufacturing environments.
- Global communication barriers: Supporting customers across languages often requires separate teams or translation layers – driving up cost and complexity.
- High volume of repetitive inquiries: Requests like “Where’s my order?” or “Can I get a spec sheet?” are common but still require human response.
- Slow resolution for complex queries: Technical questions are escalated to engineering or production, delaying answers and overloading experts.
- Disconnected systems: Service agents frequently lack real-time access to ERP, CRM, or documentation systems – resulting in incomplete or outdated responses.
- Scaling limitations: Effective customer data management can help in scaling support operations efficiently as customer volume grows, reducing the need for additional staff through automation.
