For Technical Service Agent
Resolve routine technical questions in seconds with approved, evidence-backed answers, while freeing specialists to focus on the work that requires their expertise.
The Problem
Your specialists spend too much time answering questions that have already been answered.
01
Technical-service teams receive repetitive product questions that often lack critical context, such as the application, operating conditions, desired properties, customer history, or products already considered.
02
Experts must manually search documents, reconstruct the request through repeated handoffs, and answer substantially similar questions again and again. The knowledge exists, but it is fragmented across systems, documents, and individual employees.
03
The result is growing backlogs, slower customer responses, and less time for formulation support, application development, product qualification, and complex problem-solving. Valuable knowledge can also leave the business when experienced specialists depart.

The Solution
Resolve routine questions automatically and send specialists only the cases that need their expertise.
01
The Technical Service Agent answers common questions using approved product data, technical documents, and previously validated expert knowledge. Every response is supported by traceable evidence, and missing or conflicting information is clearly flagged.
02
When a request is incomplete, the Agent asks the follow-up questions needed to understand the application, operating conditions, and technical requirements before preparing a response.
03
Ambiguous, complex, or high-risk cases are routed to the appropriate specialist with the relevant context and supporting information already assembled. Your experts can start solving the problem instead of reconstructing it.

Positive Business Outcomes
Backlogs shrink, response times drop, and specialist capacity is preserved for the work that actually requires expertise.
01
Repetitive inquiries get resolved consistently and instantly, without diverting scarce specialists from formulation support, application development, qualification, and complex problem-solving.
02
Sales cycles shorten because technical questions get answered right away instead of waiting in a queue.
03
Validated expert knowledge is captured and reused, so it stays in the business even when experienced employees depart.
How We Do It
Step 1
Knowde ingests structured and unstructured information from ERP, PIM, PLM, document repositories, spreadsheets, websites, and other approved sources. Product data, technical attributes, documents, and other information are extracted, cleansed, enriched, and normalized using Knowde’s industry-specific taxonomy.
Step 2
The Knowde Data Platform connects product records with the appropriate documents, attributes, relationships, customer context, and supporting evidence. Version control, approvals, audit trails, permissions, and regional distribution rights keep information current, traceable, and appropriately accessible.
Step 3
The Agent understands natural-language questions, maintains context across follow-up conversations, and retrieves the correct approved information based on the product, region, language, document type, effective date, permissions, and version.
Step 4
When a request is incomplete, the Agent asks targeted follow-up questions to establish the application, operating conditions, desired properties, restrictions, and other requirements needed to provide a reliable response.
Step 5
Ambiguous, complex, or high-risk requests are routed to the appropriate specialist with the full context and supporting evidence attached. Validated expert responses can then be captured for future reuse.
Step 6

20 to 40% reduction in effort spent on repetitive technical inquiries
10 to 20% of specialist capacity released for formulation, application development, and complex problem-solving
