Revolutionizing CX: How Digital Care and Automation Can Transform Your Business
Exceptional customer experiences have long been recognized as a key driver of business success. To create a top-of-mind awareness for your brand, it has become critically important that your customers are ‘always connected and engaged’. More than just another business plan, it’s a need to transform customer experience (CX) in all industries. And keeping in line with consumer trends, digital care and automation is the way to go.
The recent pandemic was a disruptive event that brought about a wave of digitization making digital the new normal in all business processes. It’s digital transformation that has enabled businesses to stay connected with their customers and build up loyalty with everyday transactions. And business process automation is one of the most important elements of digital care to boost business efficiency, and inevitably, improve customer experiences.
With some useful tips, companies can set their digital transformation and CX automation strategies right.
1. Gain Multichannel and Multi Experience Advantage
Digital experiences can standout when every interaction is seamless and effortless, even if you cater to just tech-literate audience. A multichannel approach allows connecting with customers at all touchpoints creating a seemingly singular experience despite elaborate customer journeys. Your customers can connect with your business across channels, including website, SMS, email, mobile, app, video kiosks, etc.
Taking the benefits further, multi experiences go beyond communication channels and are about building effortless customer experiences through text, chat, voice, websites, and apps irrespective of the platform. AI services like voice recognition, conversation user interface (UI), image recognition can help build remarkable and memorable customer experiences.
2. Bring in AI Self Service
Every second that a customer stays on ‘hold’ waiting for a customer support agent to help them takes away from customer satisfaction. Consumers like the word instant, and technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence are transforming CX by promoting self-service and instant customer support. As a result, companies can reduce waiting calls as well as AHT, and at the same time, customers can gain more control of their experiences with brands.
3. Leverage Voice Bots for Customer Self-Service
The attention and investments that the voice bot technology is receiving is tremendous not just because of the need of innovation but also because of the agility it brings to customer experiences. With admirable AI capabilities known today, your voice bot can comprehend multidimensional conversations and respond to customers instantly. Most importantly, it will be available 24/7 and mimic human-to-human interactions, taking self-service to a whole new level. Your customers can get a resolution on their own without having to read through a long list of queries that a chatbot would put out for them to select from.
At Tech Mahindra, we have developed an intelligent voice bot solution that converses naturally with customers, so despite what the clock says, the support is always on. It can be integrated with endpoints like Siri, Alexa, and telephony devices and is designed to render many benefits including reduced AHT. And a CX automation solution like this can certainly transform CX in customer-centric companies, especially BPOs.
4. Understand the Voice of Customer with Digital Analytics Tools
So many consumers today are more than willing to share feedback or information that can help businesses build or offer what sells. Data analytics tools can help comprehend customers’ voice and extract valuable datasets that have the potential to give all the relevant business processes a facelift. By analyzing customer journeys against business functions and processes, companies can identify even the bottlenecks that may be sneakily distracting them from their CX goals.
Actionable analytics can help make faster and the most practical business decisions and enable businesses to make the most of customers’ direct and indirect inputs. For example, CFOs can decide on the training needs of customer service executives based on agent performance analytics and customer satisfaction data.
