Getting customer communication right
Whether a high street retailer, ecommerce retailer, mail order company, or teleshopping channel, the relationship with the consumer has been rapidly evolving for a number of years. It is essential to offer a personal service when communicating with customers to increase confidence and instil trust.
Our hosted contact centre solution, Callstream TRAC, determines which agent is best-placed to answer an inbound call based on a wide range of parameters. This means any query is responded to and resolved quickly and to the satisfaction of the customer. Added functionality, such as the SMS tool, allows retailers to enhance customer communication with proactive marketing alerts, reminders and confirmations.
Providing a seamless and automated service
With consumers more likely to use self-service channels than ever before, automating and streamlining voice channels is becoming an effective way of meeting demand for a convenient and responsive service. In the teleshopping sector, such systems are becoming increasingly prevalent because they enable shopping channels to scale up and down to handle rapidly changing demand, where call volumes are dependent on what is being sold and accurate forecasting is challenging.
By using our Callstream Nucleus call management platform alongside a bespoke Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, retailers have added flexibility within their call centre operations. It means they can provide a consistent and quality service regardless of call volumes, while keeping costs to a minimum.
