For businesses and professionals operating in Central America, a certified digital signature is not a convenience. It is a legal prerequisite. Without a valid digital signature, companies cannot sign legally binding contracts, meet statutory and regulatory obligations, or complete a wide range of official processes that keep their operations moving. This is a government-governed certification, and when it lapses or needs to be issued for the first time, everything that depends on it comes to a halt until the matter is resolved.

As one of the region's authorised digital signature providers, the institution handles a steady stream of issuance and renewal requests from businesses and professionals. With a large number of customers seeking similar information and support throughout their certification journey, the enquiry process is both high-volume and highly repetitive. The workflow behind each request is well-defined, but that structure also meant the same highly manual process was being repeated thousands of times across a steady stream of business-critical conversations.  

The Business Challenge

The signature process itself hadn't changed much in years, and that was part of the problem. It's a fixed, well-documented workflow, so nearly every conversation followed the same script, email after email, day after day. Agents answered the same handful of questions, checked the same fields, and walked people through steps that hadn't moved since the process was first built. None of it was hard. It just never stopped.

The Situation (The Challenge)

Leadership wasn't shy about what they wanted out of this. The list was fairly short:
icon-tick
A better customer experience around something as routine as a signature request
icon-tick
Lower cost per inquiry, without cutting corners
icon-tick
Agents spending their time on complex, higher-value conversations instead of working the same fixed process on repeat
icon-tick
Faster resolutions, including during the busy stretches
icon-tick
No compromise on accuracy or regulatory compliance, even as volume grew
icon-tick
A support model that could absorb more customers without hiring to match

What Changed (Solution Implementation)

ResolX brought in an Omvia AI Agent and handed it the entire digital signature journey, not a slice of it, all of it. Instead of flagging a few common questions and passing the rest along to a human, the agent was built to carry a conversation from hello to resolution on its own.

A lot of what comes in is the same handful of questions, so those get answered immediately, no queue, no waiting for the next available agent. From there, the agent works out whether someone needs a brand-new signature or a renewal. It asks for the right information and checks it against what's required, rather than assuming and moving on. It then walks the customer through whichever path applies, and it only brings in a human when the customer asks for one directly, or when a request falls outside what the workflow was built to handle.

What it doesn't do is cut corners. Compliance still gets checked at every step, and the answer a customer gets doesn't change depending on who, or what, they happen to be talking to, whether it's their first message or their fifth follow-up, the agent just does it without making the customer wait for it.

The Numbers

98.5%
automation success rate on digital signature inquiries

That's the share of digital signature conversations that now start and finish without an agent ever stepping in. For the standard, rule-based requests, the ones that make up most of the volume, that number reaches 100%: no exceptions, no escalation needed.

It shows up in the pace, too. The agent handles a conversation in about 2.27 minutes on average, without a lunch break or a shift change. Within a few weeks of going live, the pattern was clear across every metric the team tracked, not just one good week, but a consistent shift in how the work got done.

What this Means

Here's how that shift shows up across the metrics that matter:

KPI Before After Improvement
Average Handling Time (AHT) Manual, multi-step agent process 2.27 minutes per conversation Sharp reduction in handling time
First Contact Resolution Dependent on agent availability and manual checks 100% for standard digital signature requests Full resolution without escalation
Response Time Subject to agent availability and queue position Instant, always-on self-service Immediate response, available 24/7

Put simply, a process that used to eat up agent hours every single day now largely runs on its own. That hasn't come at the cost of quality, either. Support is more consistent and more reliable than it was when every answer depended on which agent picked up the request. The institution didn't just make support faster. It freed its team to spend their time on the interactions that actually need a person and it built something that can keep absorbing more customers without needing more people to answer every email.
