How Interaction Analytics Elevates South African Contact Centres
South Africa is bursting with vibrant cultures and languages. It’s beautiful, but it can pose a real challenge for businesses. Imagine trying to understand your customers when they speak any one of 11 different languages! That’s the reality for contact centres across the nation.
These customer interactions are like the peaks and valleys of a mountain range—each conversation is an opportunity to climb higher, gain perspective, and uncover new insights.
At Callbi, we equip South African contact centres with the tools to ascend these mountains of data, turning every call and chat into a stepping stone toward success.

South Africa’s linguistic landscape is as diverse as its natural beauty. After analysing over 190 million call recordings, we discovered a staggering fact: 58% of calls in South Africa aren’t fully in English. These conversations blend a vibrant mosaic of languages, including Afrikaans, isiZulu, Setswana, Sesotho, and more.
To navigate this multilingual terrain, contact centres need more than a map—they need Callbi Speech Analytics.
