Case Study: Bookline cuts consolidation costs 45% while scaling voice AI across 14 countries with Bandwidth
Key results
The challenge
Bookline builds conversational AI voice agents for hospitality brands and needed to onboard customers quickly while preserving their existing phone numbers. When it started in 2019, provisioning a single customer took around a week of manual number ordering and configuration. Verifying provider compatibility during transitions added operational complexity as the company expanded internationally.
The solution
Bookline adopted Bandwidth's APIs to automate phone number provisioning, bulk porting, and management across its markets. Self-service ordering let customers request numbers directly, and consolidating telephony onto a single global provider simplified compliance and support.
“Bandwidth enabled us to automate the whole process of onboarding a customer on the telephony side.”

The results, in context
Bookline reports 45% cost savings from consolidation over 18 months and a 95% reduction in troubleshooting efforts. Onboarding that once took about a week was reduced to a few minutes, and the company reached $2M in annual recurring revenue while scaling to 14 countries.
