Four Features Essential for High-Urgency Customer Service
All contact centers are driven by metrics, with the goal of providing a frictionless customer service experience. However, there are some situations that, from a consumer perspective, have a more critical dependency on efficient interactions. Such was the case when The Functionary, a leading business process support services company, needed to provide COVID-19 testing support.
A Scalable Solution
The Functionary anticipated that there would be a significant number of daily calls due to the urgency of the situation. Older customer engagement solutions provide limited ability to scale to meet changes in demand. The Functionary needed a flexible solution that was capable of handling thousands of calls per day.
Efficient Service
Citizens that were calling the helpline were already under a significant amount of stress. The majority of consumers are accustomed to waiting two minutes or less before reaching someone. With COVID-19, however, wait times could easily reach 30 minutes, taking a tense situation and making it worse. Fortunately, today’s contact center solutions are designed with the customer experience in mind – getting the customer to the most qualified person to help them as quickly as possible.
Supervisor Visibility
Every contact center can provide monitoring and reporting capabilities. The Functionary needed, in particular, the ability to monitor live conversations. Advanced customer engagement solutions can offer multiple ways to do this; supervisors can use a live dashboard to view basic statistics like answer time and talk time for a call in progress, and listen to and engage in the conversation.
Mobile System Access
One of the weaknesses of traditional contact center solutions is the reliance on physical location. They were designed for a large group of service representatives co-located in a single office. However, The Functionary needed a solution that provided flexible access, regardless of location. This is an advantage of today’s advanced cloud-based solutions, which can reduce the dependence on physical presence.
