AAA Washington

Customer Service Automation · Marketing Personalization

AAA Washington's roadside operation depended on agents manually pulling information from multiple systems, dispatching help in separate tools, and updating members through disconnected channels, which slowed response times and hurt the 'Keep Me Informed' experience during demand spikes.

Solution

AAA Washington is rebuilding roadside assistance around Agentforce, Salesforce Field Service, Data Cloud, and MuleSoft so members can get help without waiting on overloaded call centers. MuleSoft connects travel, insurance, roadside, membership, and legacy PDF records into Data Cloud, giving Agentforce a unified profile with membership status, renewals, vehicle history, and prior service activity. When a member asks for help in natural language, Agentforce interprets the issue, queries Field Service for nearby truck location, skills, and availability, dispatches the best technician, and sends proactive SMS updates plus Appointment Assistant tracking. The same connected data gives technicians the context they need in the field, reduces app switching, and lets AAA surface relevant cross-sell or retention offers during service moments.

Data flow

Roadside, insurance, travel, and membership records flow through MuleSoft into Data Cloud, where Agentforce reads the unified member profile, queries Field Service for the best truck and technician, and then sends dispatch status and SMS updates back to the stranded member while logging context for technicians and service reps.

Evidence from the source

Members will receive SMS updates from Agentforce such as, 'Your tow truck is five minutes away.'
Research from the Canadian AAA Club shows that members with 10 or more interactions per year are 5% more likely to renew.
Salesforce Field Service captures real-time data about the nearest tow trucks - including their exact location, skills, and availability.
They need to manually gather information from multiple systems, switch between platforms to dispatch help, and update members through separate channels.
