Multiexperience or Digital Customer Service: Which to tackle first - and why?

Making the right decisions in the area of conflict between innovation and benefit

Customer service and support managers are constantly faced with the same question: How can cases be processed even more efficiently? And how can customer satisfaction be increased at the same time? What costs are justifiable and when will a positive ROI be achieved for the path taken? In service, it often comes down to setting the right course at the right time. Both the direction and the timing are subject to a constant evolutionary process, influenced by changing customer expectations. Some topics quickly achieve the status of an established offering and become growth drivers.

Trend radar with wide reach and expertise

From "what will happen in the next two years" to "what will we have to adapt to in 10 years": Gartner®'s Hype Cycle Report is a trend radar with excellent near-term resolution and very broad coverage for the issues on the technology horizon. Take Digital Customer Service, the seamless, case-based communication across all channels. Gartner® rates this topic as "about to peak" in this summary. It is now important for decision-makers to subject current offerings to a critical stress test. This is because the trend in the service sector is also moving toward potent platform decisions. These offerings in particular must be examined in terms of their support for corporate objectives.

From desire to expectation to competitive factor

An important part of digital customer service is intelligent omnichannel service management. The latter is not a trend topic per se. What is new is the ever steeper curve of customer expectations, for example for intelligent 24/7 self-service offerings. novomind has been committed to the digitization of the entire customer from the very beginning. Our goal is to push the boundaries of technology for our customers and turn them into solutions for the best customer experience of the time. Currently, these are intelligent ML and AI solutions that complement our service solutions, which are open in all directions.

novomind iAGENT stands for omnichannel experience - for more than 20 years

Today, voice, e-mail, chats or social media and fax requests are recorded across the board and processed in one platform. In addition, the solutions communicate with existing back-end systems such as CRM and ERP. As a result, the service promise is increasingly becoming a promise of the entire organization, not just of the service employees in direct contact with customers. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are timeless values that are becoming increasingly important in differentiating providers. novomind takes this into account and offers what customers are looking for: a uniform software solution that unites the various channels. And a breeding ground for the service innovations of the coming years.
