Overview

Tarrytown Expocare faced significant visibility gaps, manually reviewing only 1% of the 1,500 calls received daily by their Customer Success team. By deploying RingEX with AI Conversation Expert (ACE), the pharmacy now captures trends across every interaction, ensuring critical medication deliveries remain on schedule for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This transition allows leadership to pivot from tedious manual audits to high-level strategic coaching.
Adding the AI Conversation Expert to our Customer Success department's RingCentral environment has been invaluable. The AI and customer insights let us coach agents effectively, gives us insights we never had into trends across our large volume of calls, and helps us better serve our customers and their patients.

About our customer

Tarrytown Expocare Pharmacy, based in nearly 30 states across the US, has served the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) community as a specialized long-term care partner for years. The organization supports 25,000 healthcare providers and 2,000 group homes, ensuring vulnerable populations receive life-critical medications without delay.

The challenge: Blind spots in high-stakes communication

With 1,500 daily calls flooding the Customer Success department, leadership struggled to maintain a pulse on service quality and emerging patient issues. The Director of Customer Experience and his team leaders found themselves buried under the weight of manual reviews, yet they were only able to listen to roughly 20 calls a day—leaving 99% of interactions unmonitored. This lack of data made it impossible to confidently identify patterns in delivery hurdles or agent performance, creating a significant operational risk for a business where timely medication access is non-negotiable.
 
  • Manual Bottlenecks: Leaders spent massive amounts of time auditing a tiny fraction of total call volume.
  • Technical Anxiety: Previous experiences with complex, code-heavy AI tools left the team wary of difficult implementations.
  • Fragmented Visibility: Critical trends, such as localized delivery delays, remained hidden until they became major problems.

The solution and ROI: Total visibility and reclaimed leadership time

To overcome the limitations of unmonitored patient interactions, Tarrytown Expocare adopted a comprehensive intelligence layer over their existing communications, migrating to the RingEX unified cloud solution further enhanced by RingCentral’s AI Conversation Expert (ACE). By shifting from random sampling to universal call oversight, they gain immediate clarity into service trends and preserve the reliability of their pharmacy operations.
 
  • AI Conversation Expert (ACE) surfaces real-time alerts for delivery-related keywords, allowing the team to intervene instantly when medication shipments are delayed anywhere in the country.
  • AI Conversation Expert (ACE) delivers "spot-on" sentiment analysis and call summaries that leadership uses to provide more effective, data-driven coaching to their agents.
  • AI Conversation Expert (ACE) empowers the Director of CX to reclaim 20 hours each week by automating the summarization and feedback process for every inbound interaction.
  • RingEX provides a stable, unified cloud platform that enables agents to handle 1,500 calls daily with consistent quality across any device or location.
