AI is more than just a tech trend. Used right, it can provide you with a toolkit of solutions for many business problems.
But which problems can AI genuinely solve for your business, and what’s just hype?
AI for operational inefficiencies
AI excels at repetitive tasks and managing high volumes of data, making it a valuable asset in finance, HR, and logistics settings.
Automated routine tasks
Stock management, invoice processing, inventory updates… AI tools can run these tasks with little to no human interaction, saving your business significant man-hours.
Supply chain management
Supply chains can be unpredictable with transport delays or fluctuating demand. AI algorithms can help businesses predict unexpected demand and plan better routes when necessary. Manufacturing companies have reported up to 27% less downtime with AI-powered predictive maintenance.
Improve quality control
Mistakes in manufacturing cost money and slow down production. AI visual inspection tools can spot defects faster and with greater accuracy than humans. Leading to better quality with fewer returns or recalls.
AI for customer service
AI tools like chatbots and recommendation engines are revolutionising customer experience. Without them, you could be losing out to your competition.
24/7 assistance
Reports show that over 50% of people believe businesses should be accessible 24/7 to meet modern expectations. If you’re not available to answer a query at a time that suits them, there’s a high chance they’ll find a competitor that can. AI customer assistants are a great way to keep up on routine inquiries at scale.
Customer feedback analysis
Natural Language Processing (NLP) goes further than looking at star ratings. These AI tools can read reviews and comments to understand how customers feel in a bid to improve products and services. Businesses using AI feedback strategies report a 10-15% boost in customer satisfaction.
Personalisation
Everyone loves a service with that personal touch. With AI, you can recommend products or content based on your customers' actions on your website and individual preferences. Businesses using AI personalisation see up to 15% higher conversion rates on average.
AI for fraud detection and cyber security
AI systems are highly skilled at spotting subtle signs of fraud or cyber threats. Having tools like this in your armour can give you peace of mind and help build trust with your customers and clients.
Mechanical learning
AI uses machine learning to spot unusual activity that could suggest fraud or insider threats. This can be a valuable tool in finance and e-commerce to stop scammers early.
Crisis prediction
AI risk tools can look for signs of trouble in your supply chain or cyber attacks before they happen. This can aid damage limitation for businesses and significantly reduce downtime.
Real-time responses
AI cyber security platforms respond to threats in real time and with accuracy. As well as preventing cyber security attacks and fraud, banks report a 60% reduction in false positives in fraud detection since implementing AI-based systems.
