AI代理人(AI Agent)開始深入企業實際業務流程。全球物聯網智能系統與嵌入式平台廠商研華(Advantech),攜手人工智慧客戶關係管理系統業者Salesforce,將AI導入全球業務開發及客戶服務流程,根據其最新公布導入成果顯示,AI 智慧摘要引擎Lead Pilot讓業務前置準備時間降低40%;今年5月在台灣全面上線Agentforce業務Agent後,首月已有31.6%潛在客戶名單自動轉為商機,平均每位業務每月可節省88小時作業時間。

研華長期深耕工業物聯網與邊緣運算領域,並持續拓展邊緣AI及軟硬體整合解決方案。面對全球市場及客戶需求日益複雜,公司同步推進CRM全球整合,將Salesforce部署至全球市場,逐步讓不同市場的業務團隊在一致的平台與流程上運作。

過去業務人員開發潛在客戶時,需要從大量且分散的客戶行為紀錄中,逐筆整理互動資訊、產品興趣及關鍵行動,再自行判斷後續聯繫方式,不僅前置準備耗時,不同業務人員對客戶意圖的判斷也可能存在差異,增加全球業務流程標準化的難度。

為降低前置作業時間,研華在統一的Salesforce CRM基礎上,導入Lead Pilot AI智慧摘要引擎。部署至全球18個海外分公司後一個月內,已生成超過3,000筆AI摘要,累計為每人每月節省54.8小時作業時間,業務前置準備時間降低40%。

今年5月,研華進一步在台灣全面上線Agentforce業務開發代理人(Sales Development Representative, SDR Agent),將部分重複性的初步聯繫及流程操作交由AI執行。

根據研華公布的導入成果,Agentforce上線首月即協助將31.6%潛在客戶名單自動轉為商機,客戶首次聯繫流程達到100%自動化;每筆Lead平均可為業務節省約9分鐘作業時間,平均每位業務每月可節省88小時。

除了業務開發,研華也進一步將AI Agent延伸至客戶服務,透過Salesforce Service Cloud與Agentforce規劃「Service-to-Sell」流程,嘗試將原本分散於客服端的客戶需求訊號導入銷售流程。

例如,新客戶透過網站提出產品諮詢時,系統可利用AI判斷客戶購買意願並建立Lead;既有客戶提出產品維修需求時,若AI判斷問題可能來自設備老舊,也可建議客服建立商機,進一步提供設備汰換或新產品方案。

研華科技數位行銷處協理Gary Lee表示,將銷售流程各節點與AI協作提升至公司層級策略,不只是更新或部署一套新系統,而是重新定義與客戶對話的方式;Agentforce讓業務團隊能將時間留給真正有價值的商機。Salesforce台灣總經理徐嘉聲則表示,AI的價值不只是提升單一工作的效率,更重要的是讓AI融入企業既有數據與工作流程,成為協助員工執行任務、推動業務成果的數位夥伴。
