How Handoff Works

Intelligencemeetshumanjudgement

Smart handoff isn't about giving up — it's about knowing when human expertise adds more value than AI efficiency. The system detects, routes, and briefs your team in one fluid motion.

Sentiment Triggers

Real-time sentiment analysis detects frustration, confusion, and dissatisfaction. When a customer's tone shifts negative, the AI flags the conversation and prepares for immediate human transfer.

Complexity Triggers

Finance negotiations, multi-vehicle deals, and custom order requests automatically trigger handoff. The AI recognises when a conversation exceeds its domain and routes to the right specialist.

Explicit Request Triggers

When a customer says let me speak to someone or I want a real person, the AI responds instantly — no pushback, no persuasion, just a fast, clean transfer with full context.

Priority Routing

Three priority levels — critical, standard, and informational — determine how the handoff is routed. High-value leads and complaint escalations jump the queue with urgent alerts to senior staff.

Transcript Threads

Every handoff includes the full conversation transcript, customer profile, lead score, vehicles discussed, and a summary of intent. Your team reads a 10-second brief instead of a 10-minute transcript.

Real-Time Alerts

Handoff notifications hit your team via in-app alerts, email, and SMS simultaneously. Configurable alert rules let you route by department, time of day, or individual team member availability.

Under The Hood

Handoffengine

Every customer message is scored on a sentiment scale in real time. The system tracks sentiment trajectory — not just the current message, but the trend across the conversation. A gradual decline triggers intervention before the customer reaches frustration.

Handoff routing considers multiple factors: conversation topic, customer value, team member availability, department expertise, and time of day. The system learns from successful handoffs to improve routing accuracy over time.

Long conversation threads are automatically summarised into a structured brief — customer intent, key questions, vehicles of interest, objections raised, and recommended next steps. Your team gets the signal without the noise.

If no team member is available for immediate handoff, the AI informs the customer of expected wait time and offers alternatives — scheduled callback, email follow-up, or continued AI assistance. No dead-end conversations.
