At the recent AWS Summit in Johannesburg, Ross Holland, Nimble’s AI Engineer and Machine Learning Consultant, shared how Nimble is leveraging cutting-edge AI and cloud technologies to deliver real customer impact. His presentation highlighted the transformative power of AI in reshaping customer experiences and boosting operational efficiency.
Revolutionizing Customer Support with AI and Cloud Technology
In his talk, Ross focused on how Nimble is using AWS Cloud and AI-driven solutions to tackle significant challenges, such as transforming outdated email communication systems. He detailed how advanced AI models have enabled Nimble to supercharge email resolutions, reducing a daunting email backlog from 16,500 to just 2,000 within weeks. With email queries typically being more complex and detailed compared to other channels like WhatsApp, Nimble’s application of AI to successfully deal with the bulk of email requests, is a significant technical feat. Doing so has also allowed Nimble to route more intricate inquiries that require human intervention to the right agents.
Setting a New Standard in AI-Driven Customer Engagement
The AWS Summit, attended by cloud computing professionals, business leaders, and innovators, provided the perfect platform for Ross to demonstrate how Nimble is redefining customer engagement. Ross emphasized that AI is not just a tool for efficiency but also a way to foster more meaningful and supportive customer relationships. “Our focus isn’t just on speeding up the process,” explained Ross. “We’re creating a more empathetic and human connection, even in interactions powered by AI.”
In addition to his presentation, Ross participated in discussions about the future of AI in Africa, offering insights on how businesses can adopt these technologies to broaden their reach and better serve diverse audiences. Ross’s contributions at the summit reaffirm Nimble’s commitment to using technology not just for operational efficiency, but to truly improve customer relationships.

Nimble Group has taken the initiative to establish an Early Childhood Development Centre, which began operating in January 2019 in Woodstock, Cape Town. The centre operates under the guidance of Peak child, and while accessible to the public, primarily serves as a subsidized preschool for the children of Nimble staff.
Peak Child aims to equip children with the best possible foundation for life by providing affordable, high-quality preschools in close proximity to workplaces, catering to the needs of emerging middle-class parents. Since its inception, Peak Child has focused on collaborating with socially responsible employers to support their staff beyond conventional employee benefits.
Peak Child offers comprehensive programmes for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Through partnerships with prominent educational experts and local primary schools they ensure that children transitioning from Peak Child are socially, academically, and physically prepared for admission to any of Cape Town’s leading primary schools. Peak Child currently operates three schools, including Peak Child Nimble.
Nimble has made a significant investment in this project, with plans to replicate this model close to its Johannesburg offices.
The Altius Et Latius Trust is a school education initiative aimed at providing bursaries to historically disadvantaged students, enabling their attendance at top schools in Cape Town.
The primary goal of the trust is to promote equitable access to high-quality public education, fostering lasting transformation. Their objective is to support fifty talented learners in gaining admission to high-performing schools.
Nimble Group continually makes a substantial impact on this crucial initiative by providing essential resources for additional student support, such as tutoring, funding for school events or excursions, sporting equipment and more.
