Client Background
On the highway of life, there are many unwelcome passengers — dust, dirt, pollen, and pollutants. These can find their way into engines, systems, and equipment, reducing performance and causing long-term damage.
Sure Filter® provides the solution: high-performance air, cabin, oil, fuel, hydraulic, and coolant filters, as well as water separators and air/oil separators. Serving commercial, industrial, automotive, and marine sectors, Sure Filter® is a one-stop shop for filtration needs. All products are tested to industry standards and exceed engine manufacturer requirements, ensuring reliability in even the harshest conditions.
The Challenge
With a wide range of products and applications, Sure Filter’s customers often call with specific questions:
-
Which filter fits their equipment?
-
What are the specs and performance details?
-
How to order or schedule service?
Before the AI Receptionist, many of these calls went unanswered after hours or during peak times, leading to missed sales opportunities and delayed customer responses. Staff also spent significant time answering repetitive product questions instead of focusing on higher-value work.
