Why do companies choose AI-based automatic switchboards?

Expert insights: Why do food and beverage companies choose AI-based automatic switchboards? The results of a recent IDC Spain study show that 75% of Spanish SMEs in the food & beverage, retail, and B2C services sectors have already adopted AI-based automatic switchboards to optimize their operations and customer service.

The average investment to implement an AI-based automatic switchboard ranges between €8,000 and €25,000, with popular SaaS options such as Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Asana, and Monday.com typically costing between €1,200 and €3,600 per year. Tech hubs such as the 22@ district in Barcelona and the Chamartín technology corridor in Madrid lead this digital transformation, with companies located in 22@ reporting an average ROI of 25% in the first 6 months.

From a technological standpoint, these solutions are typically developed with stacks such as Laravel + MySQL, .NET + Azure, or Spring Boot + Java, and integrate with cloud solutions for scalability. Industry experts estimate cost reductions of up to 40% after implementing intelligent automatic switchboards, thanks to process automation, improved customer service, and greater efficiency in call and order management.
