The right answer for everyone

Give everyone access to the right knowledge, anytime, anywhere and in any context

Customer contact teams benefit from quick and correct answers. A knowledge base offers the solution.

Knowledge of the future

Whether you are a customer service, healthcare, government or educational organization, one thing is certain. Without accessible and up-to-date knowledge, mistakes, frustration and delays occur. With Pegamento’s knowledge solutions, you ensure that employees and customers always get the right answer, reliably, quickly and tailored to their situation.

We distinguish three forms of knowledge disclosure to suit your organizational needs:

Knowledge base software for customer contact teams

Customer contact teams receive many questions every day, while the information they need is often scattered across different systems and documents. For organizations with a lot of customer contact, this makes it more difficult to answer questions quickly and unambiguously.
With a central knowledge base, you bring all the important information together in one place. Employees have direct access to current data and work instructions, so they can find the right answer faster and customers are helped better.

Standalone knowledge base

Knowledge where it happens

Are you working with Sprinklr as an omnichannel platform? Then we integrate your knowledge base directly into the interface of your customer contact employees.

Through functionalities such as Nuggets, Guided Workflows or AI mailflows, employees are presented with the right knowledge in real time, exactly when they need it.

So you no longer need to leave Sprinklr to find the right protocol, wording or work instruction, everything is available within the flow of the call or ticket.

The Sprinklr integration is also expandable with our Expert Engine for even smarter answers (see below).

When knowledge is not easily accessible

In sectors such as healthcare, government and education, customer contact teams often receive questions about specific and sometimes complicated situations.

When employees cannot access the right information quickly, it takes more time to answer questions and the likelihood of errors or misunderstandings increases. New colleagues take longer to get settled in, and teams become more quickly dependent on a few experienced employees.

Especially in organizations where questions are complex and clear answers are important, a central knowledge base helps to organize information in an organized way and make it available quickly.

How a knowledge base supports customer contact

Finding the right answers quickly

Whether procedures, work instructions or answers to frequently asked questions; employees find the right information quickly and work with the same knowledge. This saves time in the daily workflow and ensures that questions are handled more smoothly.

Breaking in new team members faster

New colleagues can answer questions independently faster. As a result, they become familiar with their work more quickly and build confidence in their own way of working faster.

Being less dependent on colleagues

Teams need to ask internal questions less often. This keeps knowledge better distributed within the team and creates less dependence on a few experienced employees.

Higher customer satisfaction

Customers receive faster clarity and better support. Complicated questions are answered clearly, creating a positive customer experience.

The Expert Engine

AI-assisted, reliable and secure

The Expert Engine is our most advanced knowledge solution. This smart AI layer searches your internal knowledge (such as SharePoint, policy documents, work instructions) and provides real-time, understandable, contextual answers without requiring users to read the underlying documents.

What makes the Expert Engine unique?

Smart search and clear answers
The Engine uses semantic search technology and generative AI to formulate the right answer in understandable language.

Privacy-first, 100% Dutch
All data, models and processing remain within the Netherlands. No dependence on public AI models. Fully AVG compliant.

Full control and explainability
Answers are traceable to their source. Employees always maintain control and can review, modify or reject answers.

Modular deployment
The Expert Engine is scalable by domain.

Self-learning and improvable
Patterns of use, knowledge gaps and feedback are made transparent. In this way your knowledge base grows with the organization.

Sample applications

  • A customer asks a question via chat or email, the employee automatically receives an answer proposal based on policies and instructions.
  • An employee starts a workflow on a specific report, the appropriate protocols are automatically displayed.
  • A chatbot asks a customer about their situation, the Expert Engine instantly generates a reliable answer, available 24/7.
  • A new colleague searches for the procedure around parental leave, the Engine finds and rewrites the policy in plain human language.

Knowledge solutions that fit your organization

Pegamento helps organizations not only store information, but also make it immediately usable while working. For more than 15 years, we have been developing knowledge solutions for organizations with complex information issues.

Depending on the existing systems within your organization, Pegamento offers different knowledge solutions and integrations. For example, knowledge bases can be integrated with omnichannel platforms such as Sprinklr, or extended with the Expert Engine, our most advanced knowledge solution.

Real-time knowledge support while working

The Expert Engine uses semantic search technology and generative AI to find relevant knowledge quickly and formulate it comprehensibly. Employees instantly see the information that fits the query, without having to search through lengthy documents.

Privacy-first, 100% Dutch

All data, models and processing remain within the Netherlands. No public AI models are used, so organizations maintain full control over their data and processes. The solution is fully AVG compliant.

Complete control and explainability

Answers are always traceable to their source. Employees maintain control and can review, modify or reject answers before they are used.

Grows with the organization

The Expert Engine is modular and learns from use and feedback. In this way, it becomes visible where knowledge is lacking and the knowledge base can be continuously improved.

Why Pegamento?

At Pegamento, we combine technology and human expertise to make knowledge structurally accessible. Our solutions are:

Customer case: Mediq

Mediq is a healthcare organization where employees must be able to rely on clear and up-to-date information on a daily basis. With three physical locations and knowledge spread across different systems, this was not always easy, which led Mediq to search for a user-friendly knowledge environment.

Together with Pegamento, Mediq brought all the important knowledge together. Customer contact agents like the new way of working: with the knowledge base, they quickly find the right information and can help customers quickly.

Senoir Account Manager

When a customer contacts an organization because they have a complaint, it is crucial that the employee of the organization begin by listening carefully. What does this complaint mean for the customer and also for their own organization? How can this complaint be resolved? After listening carefully the employee needs the right information so that a solution can be offered.

Designer of Intelligent Systems

Real childhood heroes I never had. But in retrospect, I believe figures like Willie Carrot or Dexter’s lab may have had an influence on me. I get energy from actually making innovative and useful products myself. Nothing like seeing the effect of a project that automates a boring task, or makes a complex process suddenly accessible.

A nice bridge to my photograph is the physical aspect of my work. By working with image recognition, I am often very directly connected to the physical world and my work is more than just programming. For example, our image recognition software ensures safety on bridges, tracks players on a soccer field or uses your own smartphone to accurately measure yourself. This combination between physical and digital provides variety and extra challenge. For me, these are the main reasons for my interest and enthusiasm in what I do!

Vera van der Plas

UI/UX Designer

As a UX/UI designer, I deal daily with transforming complex data into user-friendly visualizations. All of this topped off with a digital lick of paint which should attract the visitor’s attention to take action.

One of the interesting aspects of this field I find the effects that small tweaks, both textual and visual, can have on conversion. The psychological impact that a simple background color of a CTA button has on our behavior is huge. After all, that color can determine whether or not you are going to buy that product.

What we see and how our brains process and interpret this information fascinates me. The possibilities of subconsciously pointing potential customers in your chosen direction are endless. I hope to apply my expertise more often within our solutions in the future.

Hospitality is one of my deepest motivations.
Not surprisingly, of course, customer service is a common thread in my career. Aspects of hospitality is being able to connect, to facilitate but mainly to make someone feel genuinely welcome. My intuition is my greatest asset to be able to put myself in the shoes of a guest. A customer is my guest.

Fed by various senses, an image forms around the client. I listen to what is being said, watch facial expressions, taste the underlying tone and get a feel for the challenge to be addressed. An image literally forms on my retina. I have to be able to see it. If I can see it, I can create it.

In this, the trick is to pursue simplicity, give the client a warm feeling that the problem is understood, receive good advice, facilitated and carefully guided to the solution. Trust, connect and unburden.

The feeling when a guest arrives at your hotel after a long tiring journey, can sit in front of the fireplace, be handed a good glass of wine and stare carefree at the fire. My guest knows it will be okay.

A picture is worth a thousand words, is an expression most of us have heard. We see a lot of things around us on a daily basis and subconciously have the ability to recognize and understand them. This ability of humans to me seems bizarre.

As a computer vision developer at Pegamento that is what I do, break down complex problems and turn them into solutions using images by meticulously extracting useful data.
With the world moving forward and new technologies emerging, complicated problems which were difficult to solve a decade earlier suddenly seem possible and viable. The future is full of new challenges and I look forward to them.

Hearing the wishes a customer has or the problems a customer is facing is important in order to then be able to help them properly. In both cases, I help find the right solution.

When the customer comes to us with a desire, they don’t know what all the options are. In this I advise them to make the right choices. When problems arise, listening to them is important. For example, a problem arises from a wrong action. By communicating well in this, many problems can be solved quickly by explaining it well. Through poor communication, a small problem can become very big.

Scrum Master

After completing my studies, I started working as a developer at a young Pegamento with a lot of ambition and enthusiasm. In the first years I learned all about process automation, now better known as RPA. I often had to rack my brains to convert the work instruction into a logical function, with not too many If-statements, so that the robot could perform the work.

I developed further and went to work as a consultant. Listening well to the customer and supporting in the pre-sales phase of projects. Executing projects and listening suited me very well. It was a small, but logical, step to now work as a Scrum Master and Project Manager. I have been supervising projects for a few years now. Such as RPA, Cloud applications and AI, according to the Human lead agile approach, We build this with a large team of specialists.

Good communication between customer and organization is very important. As an organization, you naturally want to be easily accessible to your customers. Either via social media channels or via the old familiar telephone. Often organizations do not know exactly how they want their telephone line set up. That is why I like to help them think along and give them ideas. I believe there is a solution to every problem. But sometimes you just need someone who looks at the situation a little differently.

“You get to know someone better by playing for an hour than by talking for a year.”

This quote from Plato is totally hitting home for me. That’s why I like to connect people through play. Because while playing, you are totally on, all your senses at work.
In my great role as Chief Happiness Officer, I want to do that by connecting colleagues with each other and with the organization. In a creative and playful way that suits Pegamento.

When I’m not at work, I also enjoy connecting people. I do this by organizing The Playground, where adults play games you used to play in the schoolyard, gymnasium or neighborhood playground. The pure feeling of fun, total relaxation and no thoughts of anything but playing. That feeling is the goal.

Ger Koedam

Marketing & Communications

How can I help you? That’s pretty much the first question I ask when talking to people who are curious about our services. In such a conversation, the use of senses is very important. Because not everyone is the same. One person thinks in images, while for another words are important or how something feels. For me, sight and hearing are the most beautiful senses, because both eyes and ears absorb information and can convey or process emotions.

Why hearing? Because listening is essential in contact. And it’s the key to unlocking valuable insights.

I developed this skill early on. As a child, I enjoyed radio plays on the radio, bringing the stories to life in my head.

Pim Ritmijer-Software developer Pegamento

Pim Ritmeijer

Software Developer

Programming is more than just “code knocking. For me, listening to what the customer wants and visualizing that is an important part of software development.

Actively listening to a customer to understand the customer’s full story is crucial before building a solution. When you understand a customer’s story, you can think together about a solution that truly helps the customer.

Visualizing solutions is the next step for me. What will be the route we will climb to get to a solution? What challenges are we going to face to get to the top?

Like climbing, good preparation is valuable. Even though you can’t prepare for everything, preparation helps make the application fit the client’s needs as well as possible.

What a beautiful and fascinating profession programming is.

Hearing is something you do a lot of as a programmer but also thinking, for example, when you are tasked with putting together a customer need. If the customer wants a function for his application, it is important that as a programmer you think carefully about which functions are functional and which functions are not. In this way, you will put together the most functional application possible and the customer will have a good end product. Turning needs into code into functionality is something I find interesting.

I am currently doing an internship at Pegamento and studying Software Developer. I get a lot of information that you have to process and apply. The nice thing about this is that you can learn new things but also that you can experience how it works in real business. I started this training last year and knew nothing about programming beforehand. Now I can find my own way with programming and I enjoy working with it. That you can get from a blank page to a functional application through code is cool!

Remco Pabst-Business consultant Pegamento

Remco Pabst

Computer Vision & AI Lead

Using innovative software technology for people or business to make “things” easier and smarter is really a driving force. That’s why the connection between the senses appeals to me the most. Our brains connect the senses just like a business process connects people, systems (data) and logic. They register and trigger an action, exactly how it should be in an optimal workflow. Very cool what is already possible today when we add a lot of computational power to that as well.

Hearing also means a lot. Not because I like to listen to Jazz, Soul, Deep House or Focus-like music every day AND have to be able to listen well to interpret a wish or pain point, but more because not everyone can have all the senses at their disposal. Think of him or her with a visual impairment. The fact that in close cooperation we were able to apply AI, TTS/STT technology (which is still in development) for this often underserved group of people in today’s digital world and to improve the interaction and experience with it gives me a lot of energy and meaning to what I try to do with technology; create value.

Once when I had to choose which study I was going to do, I had a hard time making that choice. I was interested in engineering, but what I most wanted to do was just work with a team toward a common goal.

To this day, that is still what I love doing most. The technology has become image recognition and the team the computer vision department of Pegamento. So it’s logical that in terms of sense, I end up with “seeing. By using our image recognition solutions to see things in the real world, our entire team solves relevant problems for our customers. And because of the variation in customers, the places where our solutions end up are never the same. For example, one moment I am in the control room of a bridge and the next day I am on a production line for sandwiches or between the fences of a TBS clinic.

Recognizing and automating patterns. Tasks we are constantly working on when implementing our robots at Pegamento. My 2 Drentsche Patrijshonden are hunting dogs and certainly not robots. The hunting instinct and intuition is basically in their genes. Continuing to offer new forms of training has taught them to recognize and act independently in hunting situations. Even “unsupervised,” even if I’m not around.

But when you try to teach a brain something, it also starts to see things you don’t expect. Dogs pick up on the slightest deviation in your voice or directions. To start recognizing that and correcting it again is perhaps the most complex challenge. But in our work, for the wonderful clients for whom we get to work, it often yields the most beautiful new insights!

Feeling. That’s the best thing Pegamento stands for. Feeling for technology in the broadest sense of the word. Not only feeling for the exciting stuff like AI, but also for the basics of communication.

The very best part of my job is selling, listening, translating and thinking about what really matters. We bring the digital transformation with a great team!
The diversity of our team, how sharp we are, but especially the wonderful things we get to make makes me feel extremely good. Hence, I intuitively chose the sense of “feeling.

Feeling gives life and differentiation!
