One of the largest cinema networks in the U.S.

A rushed Amazon Connect migration left this cinema network's contact center failing a week before go-live, so Armakuni stabilized the launch and then rebuilt it across five SOWs into a single AI-powered platform with voice agents, chat automation, and full observability. Call handling is now 30 percent faster and opening weekends scale automatically without emergency hiring.

Outcomes shipped

One of the largest cinema networks in the U.S. came to Armakuni for aI-led contact center transformation: voice agents, chat automation, live data integration, full observability.

The challenge

A single platform stabilization engagement grew into a full AI contact center transformation across 5 SOWs. Armakuni now owns the architecture that runs the entire contact center.

Scale: Thousands of customer contacts per week across onshore and offshore call centers. One of the largest cinema networks in the U.S.

What we built

Armakuni delivered aI-led contact center transformation: voice agents, chat automation, live data integration, full observability. The engagement ran as multiple fixed-scope SOWs: Showtime AI, Refund AI, Loyalty AI, Connect Conversational AI, Unified Customer Support Assistant. AWS funded the work at $56K.

The outcomes

6 measurable outcomes shipped across the engagement. The ones that moved the business the most:

30%
faster call handling across the entire contact center
3
fully automated chat workflows running in production
100%
call flow visibility delivered for the first time

30% faster call handling across the entire contact center. Every customer reaches resolution faster while the same team handles significantly more volume without adding headcount.

3 fully automated chat workflows running in production. With no human in the loop, they resolve customer issues at any hour with no queue, no wait, and no agent cost.

100% call flow visibility delivered for the first time. The contact center is now observable and manageable in real time rather than in retrospect, with problems surfacing in minutes rather than days.

Same-day agent coaching feedback, down from days. Supervisors shift from reviewing last week's calls to acting on this morning's conversations, running the quality improvement loop at the speed of the business.

Volume spikes absorbed automatically. A major film release now requires zero emergency hiring, zero all-hands weekend, and zero degradation in customer experience because the platform absorbs the demand.

Opening weekend went from the biggest stress test of the year to a seamless peak. The platform now handles the year's heaviest demand on its own.

Kudos to Armakuni for demonstrating the speed, precision, and partnership needed to turn a high-speed challenge into a success story.
