Digital Service

Overview

Being able to interact digitally with organisations over a variety of devices has become a basic expectation for customers. It’s surprising, however, how many organisations are still driving customers to call them, rather than offering the right digital service tools. Digital interaction isn’t just convenient for the customer, it can help the organisation deliver much higher levels of self-service, whether this is through a well-designed online portal, a customer service mobile app, advanced natural language IVR (automated telephony) or a chat and messaging channel with built in chatbot capability.

What’s new?

• Chatbot technology is advancing rapidly, helping deliver interactive self-service across both voice and chat / messaging channels;
• Software vendors are increasingly building customer portals into their offering, providing the potential for customers to have access to the same resolution processes as the agents within the organisation do. This is reducing the barriers to self-service considerably;
• Organisations are increasingly ‘going where the customer is’ when it comes to channel. Right now, this means personal messaging channels like WhatsApp and messenger, rather than chat windows that only appear on an organisation’s website;
• Mobile ready websites and useful mobile apps are still great ways of the customer reaching your organisation, but they have to be well designed and grounded in what the customer needs if they are going to be searched for or downloaded.
