Mercedes-Benz Group AG

Customer Service Automation

Mercedes-Benz needed to unify fragmented customer-contact operations spread across assistant, telematics, and roadside-assistance centers so it could improve oversight, expand service capacity, and deliver a more consistent support experience across vehicle lines.

End-to-end online Q&A accuracy exceeded 85%.
The platform supports all-channel applications across both electric and fuel-vehicle business lines.

Reported impact

Business outcome

Mercedes-Benz consolidated scattered customer-contact systems into one intelligent platform, improved service governance across brands and powertrain lines, and raised answer quality in online service scenarios.

Solution

Mercedes-Benz and Baidu AI Cloud built a new intelligent telephone platform by consolidating the company's customer contact center operations into a single stack. Baidu AI Cloud Intelligent Customer Service provides the main service layer, while shared AI capabilities such as ASR, TTS, NLG, intelligent quality inspection, agent assistance, online service robots, and intelligent training create a common operating base for the call center. The project also integrated Salesforce CRM and migrated the knowledge base so customer data, service logic, and content could be managed centrally instead of in separate systems for CAC, TCC, and RSA teams. That architecture lets Mercedes-Benz run unified access, monitoring, operations, security, and intelligent-service functions across both electric and fuel-vehicle business lines.

Data flow

Customer requests from the consolidated contact centers are routed into the unified call platform, where ASR and NLG support IVR, bots, quality inspection, and agent-assistance workflows. Service knowledge and CRM context are retrieved through the migrated knowledge base and Salesforce integration, and the resulting interactions are managed through one operating and monitoring layer.
