How often have you contacted a business to ask a question, only to be put on hold for a few minutes while the customer service representative searches furiously for a response? Minutes go by and they come back online to tell you that they will be a few more minutes and are sorry for the inconvenience.
Alas, this is a daily reality for many businesses. This isn’t the agent’s fault who is on the other end of the phone or chat. However, they are the ones that are under immense stress as they try desperately to remain calm while still being polite to the customer. Meanwhile, the customer is becoming more and more frustrated.
It is not unusual for businesses to have many different sources of company knowledge, data and information, such as wikis, FAQs, CRM, ERP, to name a few. In fact, one of the biggest operational pain points is that contact center systems and tools are too fragmented and disconnected with 51% of respondents to a recent survey by CCW feeling that way.
The data dilemma could be down to any number of different reasons, such as a change of leadership, the differing requirements of each department or growth through the acquisition of other companies with different systems. Whatever the reason, multiple data silos are a reality of doing business in a data-driven world. But it doesn't need to be a critical point of failure for front-line staff in the contact center. Agents need to access multiple data sources to assist customers and the customers shouldn’t need to wait endlessly for answers to simple questions.
Local Measure's cloud contact center platform Engage now includes knowledge-base integration, which reduces the frustration on all sides.
