AI Receptionist and Outbound Calling in Drenthe

An event organiser in Assen has a ticket line that is silent for eleven months and unanswerable in the twelfth, a garden centre in Emmen has customers ringing on Saturday morning to ask whether the plant from the leaflet is in yet, and a print shop in Meppel takes calls asking where an order is from customers who could see for themselves if anyone had sent the link. We build AI receptionists that answer those calls and read the answer from the system the business already runs, and outbound agents that make the calls nobody in the shop has time for, on Assen time.

Ticket line for event organisers

An organiser of a large motorsport weekend in Assen ran a ticket line that took eleven thousand calls in the fortnight before the event and about forty in the fortnight after. The AI receptionist answers every line at once, in Dutch, German and English, checks the caller's order, explains where the tickets are and how the camping works, changes a name on a ticket, reads the parking and the timetable, and passes refund requests to a person with the order already found. Callers asking whether a ticket is still available are told honestly. The organiser stopped hiring a call centre for two weeks a year.

Stock enquiry calls for garden centres

A garden centre in Emmen had customers ringing on Saturday about the plant in that week's leaflet, and staff who had to walk to the far end of the nursery to look. The agent answers, checks the plant against the stock system, tells the caller how many are in and where in the centre to find them, holds one for the hour the centre allows, and reads the opening hours and the directions. Callers asking for advice on what to plant in shade get put through to the plant desk. The staff now stay at the tills on the busiest morning of the week.

Order status calls for print shops

A print shop in Meppel took calls all afternoon about where an order was, from customers who had never been sent the tracking link because the shop was too busy printing. The agent now answers, matches the caller to the order, reads the stage it has reached and the promised date from the job system, sends the tracking link by text, and rings the customer itself when a job slips rather than waiting for the call. Customers who want a quote are asked the size, the quantity, the paper and the deadline, and the quote request lands in the system with all four. The presses now run without the phone.

Working with businesses in Drenthe

Scoping is a call on Assen time, in Dutch or English, and the agent is built to the wording and the hours you sign off. It connects to the ticketing, stock or job system you already run, is tested on recordings of your own callers, and every call is transcribed and kept in the EU. A shop whose volume would be better served by one more person at the till is told so before the build.

What changes after launch

Faster response

Inbound leads and support requests get captured, routed, and answered while intent is still active.

Cleaner data

CRM records, task ownership, and reporting stop depending on manual follow-through.

Lower overhead

Repetitive admin moves automatically, so the team spends its time on revenue and customers.

Common questions

Can it handle a line that is only busy two weeks a year?

Yes, and a fortnight is what it was built for. The agent answers every line at once during those two weeks and costs almost nothing in the eleven months it is quiet, which is what a call centre contract cannot do. The wording, the timetable and the answers are updated once before each event, usually by whoever is holding the parking map.

Can it hold a plant or a product for a caller?

For the time you allow, with the hold written into the stock system so the shop floor sees it, and released when the time runs out. It does not take payment on the phone. A customer who wants to pay ahead is sent a link by text, and the item is only held once the payment lands.

Can it ring the customer before they ring us?

When a job slips in the job system, it rings the customer, explains what the new date is and why, offers whichever alternatives you have allowed it to offer, and logs what the customer said. Most order-status calls disappear once customers are rung first, which is why the print shop's afternoon went quiet.
