Why now

The 2024 lesson, applied to BNPL.

In 2024 the public narrative was that AI was doing the work of 700 agents. The honest follow-up was a more measured one: the team went too far, quality slipped, and the human seat came back. The BNPL takeaway is not anti-AI. AI replaces drudgery, not the customer relationship. Disputes, chargebacks, and regulated handling across 15+ markets need scale and empathy in the same conversation.

The platform

Four pillars built for BNPL contact-center economics.

01 Auto-QA
100% of BNPL conversations, scored.
Every dispute, refund, and chargeback graded against the rubric, not a 2% sample. Catch the regulatory red flag the week it emerges, not next quarter.
02 Agent Assist
Merchant disputes, multi-language guidance.
Right policy, right language, right regulatory tone, surfaced in the moment so agents in 15+ markets stay on script without reaching for Confluence.
03 Voice of the Customer
Dispute and chargeback themes, surfaced.
The themes that move merchant take-rate, visible the week they emerge. The QA team sees what is shaping the economics, not what is shaping next quarter's report.
04 Coaching
In the moment, not the monthly review.
Show the agent the exact 30 seconds that worked or drifted, while the next call still matters. Coaching that scales with the team across markets.
