Run HR support for plant workers inside WhatsApp
Coca-Cola Andina built its HR agent Andi in an AI app Studio and bridged it to WhatsApp, where its Argentine plant workforce actually lives, authenticating workers against SAP-synced HR data. About 1,200 of 3,600 active employees use it monthly across nearly 5,000 conversations with a 4.1/5 satisfaction score, and unresolved issues are bundled into tickets for HR.
How it works
- Build the Andi agent in an AI app Studio
- Bridge it to WhatsApp via Direct Line and the WhatsApp Business API
- Authenticate each worker with Entra ID and pull SAP-synced HR attributes
- Answer HR questions in chat
- Bundle profile and chat context into a ticket when the agent cannot resolve it
Why it’s worth knowing
An enterprise HR agent reached factory workers by living in WhatsApp, authenticated against SAP, instead of an intranet.
