Solution brings AI into production using AWS Bedrock to help handle high-volume financial customer service requests across the S Group
The solution was deployed in SOK Finance's Palveluässä service center, which provides financial management and payroll services for the S Group, a customer-owned Finnish network of retail and service companies with approximately 2,000 outlets.
"Service centers handle a high volume of routine tasks, and we see AI agents offering significant potential to automate them. We wanted to test new technology in real processes and explore how AI can support service center work. CGI's experts listened to our needs and built the solution in close collaboration with us," said Aki Okkonen, Head of Shared Service Center, SOK Finance.
While many organizations are still piloting AI solutions, the collaboration between SOK Finance and CGI has moved this solution into production use, demonstrating how AI can deliver value in day-to-day financial service operations.
"In this solution, AI agents process incoming customer service messages, retrieve required data from backend systems and automatically execute parts of the process. This improves workflow consistency and efficiency. At the same time, our experts can focus on cases that require human judgment and service," said Mervi Koponen, Director of Development, SOK Finance.
CGI was responsible for the design, implementation and deployment of the solution, as well as its integration with SOK Finance's key systems.
"Many AI initiatives remain at the pilot stage, but real business value is achieved when solutions become part of everyday operations. SOK Finance has been a frontrunner in this respect: the multi-agent solution built on AWS Bedrock was successfully deployed into production, demonstrating how AI can be applied in a practical way to strengthen financial administration customer service," said Katja Vuokila, Director, Consulting Services responsible for the delivery at CGI.
