Customer service

Nine minutes on hold. The customer hung up and wrote the review instead.

Threll takes the overflow from your main number, around the clock – so nobody waits in a queue. It finds the order, answers what it can answer, and hands the rest to the right person. You set it up yourself in the console in an afternoon – with help from us if you want it.

The problem

The customer who gave up before you got to them

Customer service is measured on cases resolved. Nobody measures the ones who hung up before they got through. They aren't in any ticketing system – they're at your competitor, or in your reviews.

The hold music takes it

Call outside opening hours and you're told to try again tomorrow. Very few do.

The same five questions

Where is my order, what does shipping cost, how do I cancel. The team answers the same thing all day and never gets to the cases that genuinely need a person.

A chatbot can't take a call

Forms and chat catch the people willing to type. The ones with a problem right now pick up the phone.

None of the three answers the question the customer is actually asking: can somebody help me now?

The arithmetic

Run the numbers with your own figures

It takes just three numbers. How many enquiries end up in the queue each month, how many of them give up along the way, and what a customer is worth to you.

15 %
4,000 kr
Lost customer value per month240,000 kr

You're losing roughly 240,000 kr a month across 60 customers. Threll Start costs 699 kr.

We don't know your numbers. You probably know how many got through, but not how many gave up – and that's the whole point. The test week gives you the actual figure, whether or not you pick us afterwards.
Setup

Live in one afternoon

Five steps you do yourself in the console. You keep your number, your operator and your setup, and need no integration. If you get stuck, we help for free.

    You set the agent up yourself

    Fill in opening hours, coverage area, what counts as urgent and what somebody should be told about straight away. It all happens in the console – no integration, and no waiting for us.

    The agent answers and sorts

    It introduces itself as an AI assistant for the firm, hears what has happened, asks the follow-up questions you wrote yourself – and decides urgency by your rules.

    The right person gets the right message

    Urgent: the call is put through to one of you, or the right person gets an SMS with a summary and a number immediately. Not urgent: a summary by email, and the caller is told when you'll ring back.

AGENT

Customer service, you're speaking with an AI assistant. How can I help?

CUSTOMER

Hi, I'm still waiting for a parcel I ordered two weeks ago. It just says dispatched.

AGENT

I'll take a look. Do you have the order number, or shall I find the order on the number you're calling from?

CUSTOMER

Just find it on the number, I'm standing in a shop.

AGENT

Then I have order 48221, dispatched on the fourth. It hasn't moved with the carrier since the sixth, so it's delayed on their side.

CUSTOMER

So what happens now?

AGENT

I'll send a new parcel today, it's with you tomorrow. The 79 kroner shipping is refunded automatically. Would you like that in writing by SMS?

CUSTOMER

Yes please, that would be good.

AGENT

It's sent. If the old parcel does turn up, just leave it – we'll collect it at no cost to you.

Do compare

A human answering service typically charges 25–50 NOK per answered call. A lost customer costs you the whole sale.

Assurance

What your customer hears, and what you need to be able to answer

Five questions you will get – from a customer, a board chair or a procurement officer. The answers are the same on every plan.

01

The agent says it is an AI assistant

It happens in the first sentence. It is a requirement under the EU AI Act – and it is also what makes customers accept it.

02

Norwegian and European data storage

Call data is processed within the EEA. A data processing agreement is standard, not an add-on.

03

Telephony on Telenor SIP infrastructure

The same network as the rest of Norwegian business telephony. No detour across the public internet.

04

You own the data

Export or delete whenever you want. You set the retention period yourself.

05

On-prem and sovereign hosting exist

For those who must have it. Most firms in this segment don't need it – tell us if you do.

Objections

What you're going to ask about

Can't find the answer? Call us on +47 24 12 66 30.

Yes, and they're told straight away – the agent says so itself in the first sentence. Our experience is that people accept it when they actually get helped. What they're comparing it with isn't a person; it's nine minutes of hold music.

Yes, once you connect it. The agent looks up orders, subscriptions and case status in your systems and answers with what's actually there. Without a connection it takes the case down and passes it on with everything the customer gave.

You set the rules for what happens in case of doubt. The default is that uncertain cases go to a person rather than being guessed at. The whole call sits transcribed in the dashboard, so you see exactly what was said.

They catch different customers. Chat reaches the people willing to type; the phone reaches the people with a problem right now. The frustrated ones call, and those are the cases that end up in a review.

No. Threll is wired in as forwarding on no answer, busy or outside opening hours. You keep your number, your operator and your setup. If you have Mobilt Bedriftsnett or Telia Bedriftsnett, this is a menu option in your admin panel.

You do it yourself: the forwarding takes ten minutes, and writing down what the agent should answer and what should be transferred typically takes half an hour in the console. If you'd like one of us on a screen share, it costs nothing.

They keep the cases that need a person. Threll becomes the first line: it takes tracking, opening hours and shipping costs, and transfers complaints and cancellations.

Nothing. You create the account yourself, run a week on your own number, and have your own figures afterwards.
