Omni Channel Support
A true test of an organization’s ability to offer support is to meet a customer where they are. One of the cornerstones of enhancing relationships with customers is to deliver a consistent and seamless customer support experience across multiple channels (email, phone, chat, social media, etc.) but managing a high volume of customer interactions across multiple channels can be a huge challenge. Resolving customer inquiries efficiently while having access to a true 360 degree view of those customers is a key metric for the high performing enterprise.
Building a unified view of customer interactions and using it in support interactions is the only way to prove your organizations truly values you customer and understands their needs, allowing you to appropriately identify potential issues, prioritize activities, and resolve inquiries efficiently.

Having a centralized knowledge base avoids scenarios where employees are duplicating efforts and wasting time to manage and create the information that they need to support customers. Adding a true governance process addresses the challenge of outdated or incorrect information being shared across the organization or worse, with customers.
Centralizing your knowledge based allows the service team to find the information easily and quickly, reducing the time spent searching and improving productivity.
Version control, approval workflows, and content expiration is just a small number of processes that should be instituted around the governance of knowledge. It ensures access to accurate and up-to-date information.
Offering your knowledge base to your customers through self-service options allows a deeper understanding of your products and services and the chance for customers to find answers on their own.

Proper case management and routing is fundamental in large organizations, particularly in organizations with complex support processes or a multitude of support channels. Managing support cases inefficiently can result in lack of visibility into the status of customer issues, difficulty prioritizing and resolving cases in a timely manner, and can lead to frustrated employees, customers, and a decrease in total experience.
Providing a centralized system for case management allows employees to access information quickly and easily about case status, history, and resolution.
Monitoring case resolution times allow team members to reflect on performance and case resolution times, finding patterns and efficiencies that could be incorporated into the overall system.
Automation
Improving efficiency, reducing costs, and providing exceptional customer experience is the cornerstone of a great service organization, but implementing automation can be a challenge, especially when it comes to integrating disparate systems and ensuring processes across those systems are streamlined and optimized for your employees. Multiple communication channels, data systems, categories and support teams can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and delays in service delivery without a thoughtful approach to service design and the proper tools to help.
Providing a unified design and platform for managing customer data, communication channels, and support tickets enable companies to streamline their service processes and reduce the risk of errors and delays.
