    BENEFITS OF CONTACT CENTER AUTOMATION

    Increase Customer Satisfaction

    Automation has the power to transform the customer experience. Here's how:   

    Quick Resolution: Contact center automation can make your workflows more effective. It reduces the need for manual processing, which decreases hold times. Automated systems can work with interactive voice response systems (IVR) to collect information. This speeds up the process before the agent interacts with the customer.

    Offer 24/7 Support: Your automated systems can work around the clock without human intervention. Customers located in different time zones or needing support outside working hours can access the support they need with automated support.

    Consistent Support: A consistent customer experience allows you to build greater trust. Whenever clients contact you, they will receive the same level of support. Automated systems follow specific rules and protocols and eliminate the risk of human error. This ensures the same level of service for every customer.

    Increased Agent Productivity

    Routine inquiries, questions and tasks often take valuable time away from your contact center agents. By automating routine tasks like data entry or authentication, you can reduce agent workload and improve call center agent performance. Thus, they can focus on tasks that require a human touch, such as problem-solving and empathy.

    Automated Scalability

    Things can change quickly within a contact center, and automation can help you adapt. Cloud-based contact center solutions allow you to scale up or down easily to meet your contact center demands. With automation, you can rapidly adjust IVR scripts or integrate new automation technology, such as chatbots or speech recognition. Operational disruptions are minimal.

    Accurate Data Collection

    Capturing data is essential in using it to derive insights and make strategic decisions. However, you want this data to be as accurate as possible. Compared to humans, automation can capture data more precisely and thoroughly. This can include gathering customer data, collecting customer feedback, measuring results, transcribing conversations, etc.

    Technology Used In Contact Center Automation

    Interactive Voice Response (IVR) IVR is a technology that answers incoming calls. It interacts with the caller to understand the reason for the call. It does this through voice prompts and touch-tone responses.
    Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) After the caller has interacted with the IVR system, ACD technology will distribute the call. ACD is a telephony technology that automatically routes callers to the right department or agent based on predefined criteria.
    Call Queuing Once the ACD distributes the call, call queuing takes place. Call queue software places inbound callers into a queue or virtual line. This automation ensures that caller's queries are answered quickly and effectively with minimal wait times.
    Chatbots Chatbots are computer programs that simulate conversations with users. Chatbots can understand your client's intentions and perform tasks they were programmed to do.

    7 Key Types of Call Center Automation

They can instead focus on complex tasks that require human interaction. With this, you increase customer experience, increase agent satisfaction and decrease costs.
    Forecasting Automation Your contact center has accumulated lots of current and historical data. Forecasting Automation uses trends from that data to predict your contact center activities and performance. For instance, forecasts can predict call volumes during specific periods and allow you to prepare better.
    Workflow Automation Routine tasks and activities can consume a lot of valuable time, and repetitive work is more prone to human error. Workflow Automation can automatically perform those repetitive tasks without error or human involvement. Workflow automation can eliminate tasks such as entering data, sending emails and notifications, generating routine reports, and more.
    Sales And Marketing Automation Automating parts of your sales and marketing process lets you measure customer experience and build stronger relationships with customers, shorten the sales cycle, and ultimately drive more revenue. Automate routine tasks such as SMS or email campaign with sales offers, follow-ups and more. Accomplish tasks quickly and contact more people than if you were to do them manually.
    Scheduling Automation Proper time management, scheduling and planning are essential for contact centers. And no matter the size of your contact center, scheduling can be complex and time-consuming. Automating schedules and calendars can increase time management efficiency. This can prevent double bookings and the need for more skilled agents.
    SMS Automation Take advantage of the quick and efficient nature of SMS. SMS automation can engage with customers after they’ve performed an action. For instance, if reaches out for support, an SMS message can be automated to determine if they are satisfied with the support they received. This can also be used to send appointment reminders, account balances, promotional offers and more.
