Challenge
- Manual, Time-Consuming QA: Managers previously reviewed only a handful of calls per agent, relying on tick sheets and subjective assessments.
- Limited Feedback Scope: Feedback was often binary (yes/no), missing deeper insights into call quality and patient sentiment.
- Inconsistent Coaching: Coaching was generic and not tailored to individual agent strengths or knowledge gaps.
- Operational Inefficiency: Manual call selection and review took up to 2–3 hours per week for managers, limiting time for strategic initiatives.

National Dental Care deployed Natterbox AI Advisor to automate QA and call coaching, leveraging AI-driven analysis of every call. Key features included:
- Automated Call Scoring & Feedback: Every call is analysed and scored, with unbiased, actionable feedback provided for each agent.
- Comprehensive Coverage: 100% of calls are reviewed, eliminating the need for manual sampling.
- Customizable Prompts: QA criteria tailored to NDC’s unique patient engagement goals.
- Visual Scorecards: Easy-to-use dashboards highlight strengths, weaknesses, and trends across the team.
