Thailand's Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) provides water supply for Bangkok and surrounding areas. Its 1125 public hotline struggled with surging calls and 24/7 service demands under a traditional agent only model. Instadesk's Voice Bot became the ideal solution to modernize MWA's 1000+ hotlines, delivering a scalable, compliant, and citizen centric support system. Instadesk's Voice Bot resolves MWA's key frontline challenges by integrating AI automation with its existing infrastructure.
The Pressing Operational Challenges for MWA's Hotline
• Unpredictable call spikes and emergency surges overwhelming human agent teams, with no scalable buffer for peak demand
• Inability to maintain mandatory 24/7 service availability via traditional staffing models for routine citizen inquiries
• Strict public-sector mandates for uncompromised reliability, PDPA-aligned data protection, and uninterrupted service continuity
MWA's traditional model also tied live agents to basic requests, leaving little bandwidth for complex issues and emergency responses that required human expertise. Instadesk's Voice Bot was engineered to address these exact pain points, with built-in capabilities tailored to the unique needs of public service agencies like MWA. Instadesk's Voice Bot eliminates the scalability limits of human-only support, creating a stable foundation for consistent service regardless of call volume.

In partnership with ITNS, MWA deployed Instadesk's Voice Bot as the frontline virtual agent for its 1000+ hotline channels, with seamless integration into its existing tech ecosystem. The solution first launched in MWA's cloud environment, then transitioned to an on-premise Cisco CUCM telephony infrastructure—ensuring zero service disruption and protecting the agency's existing tech investments. It leverages secure real-time API integrations and natural voice interaction to handle core transactional services for citizens with structured, knowledge-based responses.
Instadesk's Voice Bot manages high-volume inbound calls for bill inquiries, outage checks and repair status tracking, with no human intervention needed for routine requests. Instadesk's Voice Bot acts as an always-on frontline, cutting wait times and ensuring citizens get fast, accurate answers even during peak demand periods.
