The goal
Insuring a seamless CX and growth in times of financial risk
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Clal faced an increased load on its customer service centers due to customer concerns about their accounts. At the same time, more customers tried to contact Clal on multiple digital channels.
Clal faced several challenges in managing its vast insurance services:
- Managing increasing overloads on contact center agents
- Centralizing communications from all engagement channels
- Expanding insurance services to multiple messaging channels, available 24/7
- Measuring agent performance and patient satisfaction in real-time

The chatbot squad
One of the most strategic decision made by Clal, is to offer automated insurance services 24/7. Clal utilized CommBox’s technology to deploy a team of automated agents – the Chatbot Squad.
These smart chatbots can handle various types of requests including changing a policy, document retrieving, travel insurance assistance, quotes, status, lead qualification, customer satisfaction collection and more.
Clal’s chatbots were designed to have a more personal touch by assigning each bot with a unique avatar based on real human agents. These avatars help create a more relatable and engaging interaction for customers, while also providing a sense of familiarity and trust with the brand.
With CommBox, we’ve automated 57% of insurance requests on WhatsApp, enhancing satisfaction and operational efficiency. This strategy has alleviated contact center overload and call volume, with 60% of all interactions now efficiently handled digitally in one interface
