Bob Cooper, CEOSwampfox's Intelligent Customer Experience (ICX) software platform offers intelligent routing and customer experience management for single and multiple call-center deployments through its DRM (Dynamic Route Manager) and IG (Intelligent GreetingTM) applications. With its IG product, the company allows for better personalization and engages callers by anticipating what their queries are. Bob Cooper, the CEO of Swampfox, explains, “If we send a text message to remind users about their overdue bill and they call within a given time frame, there is a good chance that they are calling the contact center to enquire about the recent message. We measure the success of calls that are greeted in this manner, and many of our clients have witnessed a significant improvement in containment rates using our product.” IG, coupled with the company’s ICX platform, makes the caller experience even more personal and tailors each interaction to customers' unique needs and preferences.
Through intelligent, user-aware experiences across voice and digital (chatbot, chat, SMS, email and mobile) interactions, ICX offers comprehensive and flexible customer experience management. With Swampfox's innovative solutions, clients can also enable their customers to schedule a callback whenever they find convenient, through the website or mobile app. From traditional identification and verification of the customer to understanding of intent for the contact, natural-language and touch-tone self-service applications, Swampfox manages and enhances the entire gamut of customer experience and reduces operational expenses.
Cooper goes on to explain the benefits of their solutions through a recent engagement with one of their clients. One of the largest electric power holding companies in the U.S. collaborated with Swampfox to bring all their outbound communications in house and deliver them on multi-channel platforms including SMS, voice, email, along with iOS/Android notifications for serving their customers effectively. Moreover, the client had extremely stringent load testing requirements. As such, Swampfox worked closely with them on product requirements and stress testing. Additionally, the client also leveraged Swampfox’s callback technology to ensure they meet the required SLAs.
"Our goal is to create solutions by combining the technology we have with the lessons learned by working with some of the largest utility companies, and then offer those solutions in a way that customers can leverage the technology they already have in place," notes Cooper. Serving as an extension of the customer’s team—business and technical—rather than a vendor, Swampfox develops long-lasting relationships with customers. Cooper mentions that Swampfox plans to expand internationally and provide its solutions via a hosted model to the mid-size utilities market. With its roots firmly embedded in Avaya and Cisco, the company intends to render its products and services on a diverse set of platforms— offered either by large hosted players, such as Amazon and Google, or more traditional call center players.

OpsLab Receives U.S. Department of Defense Grant to Schedule Air Ranges for Pilot Training

Agreement Signals Expansion of OpsLab's Down-range Capabilities
AUSTIN, Texas-- OpsLab has been awarded a grant from the United States Department of Defense to expand their capabilities to manage the scheduling and operation of air ranges. The award comes as a result of OpsLab's selection in the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) Multi-Domain Range Scheduling Challenge, which was held in partnership with the Air Force 56th Range Management Office (RMO) and Fort Huachuca's U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE).
OpsLab was selected from a pool of 15 finalist companies that pitched their Swampfox technologies at a hybrid Pitch Day held at the Defense Innovation OnRamp Hub: Arizona. Their solutions were deemed to have the greatest potential to streamline range planning, communication, and coordination to optimize resource utilization while minimizing scheduling conflicts.
"The winning companies shared solutions that have the potential to deliver efficiencies that will save time and money, but more importantly, will allow more training to happen on our ranges," said NSIN Venture Portfolio Director and DIU Deputy Chief of Global Partnerships Abigail Desjardins in a press release. "That is the real impact to readiness."
"Our mission is to enhance our military's operational readiness in truly measurable ways," said Arun Nair, CEO and Co-founder of OpsLab. "By applying the lessons we've learned through squadron scheduling, we're able to drastically cut down the amount of time associated with range scheduling. By leveraging the power of operations research and AI, we're able to deliver the best automated scheduling tools available."
"If our military is to maintain its edge over our near-peer competitors like China, we have to get more advanced technologies in the hands of actual warfighters," said Gen. (R) Stephen "Seve" Wilson, former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force and OpsLab advisor. "By applying proven squadron operation management tools to management of actual air ranges, OpsLab and NSIN are doing that. The people who will feel this the most are the air range schedulers and operators who currently spend too much time wrestling with outdated technology."
Currently in use by over 2,500 end users across over 50 flying squadrons, OpsLab provides smart assistants to solve operational planning, tracking and recovery problems at scale. OpsLab's solutions, built with operations research and machine learning, tackle reactive and predictive aspects of problems like scheduling, routing and dispatch, and automate away the most complex parts of solving such problems. These solutions are not hypothetical, they're proven.
OpsLab is actively supporting the U.S. Department of Defense through seven SBIR Phase III contracts with the Air Force. OpsLab solutions are in active implementation across numerous USAF installations, including Shaw Air Force Base, Sheppard Air Force Base, Luke Air Force Base, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Minot Air Force Base, and Aviano Air Base.
