PLDT Home is stepping up its digital transformation efforts with the nationwide rollout of an AI-powered customer support platform across its Sales and Service Centers—marking a major leap toward faster, smarter, and more seamless customer experiences.

Developed in partnership with global technology leader Amdocs, the new system introduces real-time ticket diagnostics and resolution capabilities, enabling frontline teams to address customer concerns instantly during in-store interactions. The result: significantly reduced wait times and more efficient service delivery.

Once fully deployed, the platform is expected to save up to 5,000 hours of customer waiting time every month, underscoring its impact on both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Smarter Support, Faster Solutions

At the heart of the initiative is a shift away from traditional, multi-layered backend processes. With AI-driven tools, service agents can now diagnose issues, recommend solutions, and resolve concerns on the spot—streamlining workflows and minimizing delays.

“Customer experience remains at the center of our transformation efforts,” said John Y. Palanca, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business at PLDT. “By equipping our Sales and Service Centers with AI-driven capabilities, we are building a more agile and efficient operation that empowers our teams to serve customers better while supporting the company’s long-term growth.”

Driving Efficiency Across the Network

Beyond faster service, the platform enhances internal operations by optimizing resource allocation and maintaining consistent service standards across PLDT’s nationwide retail network. Intelligent diagnostics and guided resolution tools help improve accuracy, reduce repeat issues, and strengthen overall store performance.

This translates to shorter queues, smoother transactions, and a more responsive support experience for customers at every touchpoint.

Powering the Future of Customer Experience

The rollout is part of PLDT Home’s broader push toward cloud-based and AI-enabled operations—laying the groundwork for a more connected, data-driven service ecosystem.

“Our customers must see and experience the impact of our modernization efforts in every interaction,” Palanca added. “This initiative strengthens our ability to deliver agile, intelligent, and seamless customer experiences as we continue to evolve.”

With AI now embedded at the frontline, PLDT Home is redefining what customer service looks like—faster, smarter, and built for the future.
