Storm-response program scaling outbound notifications, inbound IVR, and field coordination during a Cat-4 hurricane.
Challenge
Hurricane Ian-class events required 10× normal customer contact capacity — across voice, SMS, and IVR — with zero tolerance for downtime.
Approach
AiCX activated its disaster-recovery surge model, deployed proactive AI outbound, redesigned the storm IVR for containment, and ran a 24/7 NOC alongside the utility's incident command.
Outcome
1.2M notifications delivered in the first 48 hours, IVR containment up 41%, average wait time down 68%, and customer effort scoring improved 31%.
