The benefits of a good contact center platform for retail businesses

Improved customer experience through streamlined communications

There are a few key ways in which a contact center platform can help to improve an ecommerce customer experience.

First, it gives customers a single point of contact, which makes it easier for them to get in touch with your business, whether they’re reaching out through WhatsApp or a chatbot. This can help to improve customer satisfaction and also deflect the number of inbound calls.

A good contact center platform can also reduce the number of repetitive tasks that call center agents have to do, such as appointment scheduling and basic customer service questions. This can free up time for agents to focus on more important or complex tasks.

Access to insightful data and analytics

When it comes to data and analytics, a virtual call center solution can give retail businesses a wealth of insights, like call volume patterns and commonly asked questions.

This information can then be used to help businesses understand which areas are most profitable, find ways to increase customer retention, and create targeted marketing campaigns and personalized offers to boost sales.

Dialpad Ai Contact Center, for instance, has real-time dashboards that show call volumes and average speed to answer:

And its unique artificial intelligence technology, Dialpad Ai, can also help businesses glean an unprecedented amount of customer satisfaction insights—one of the biggest challenges with CSAT scores, even though it’s a popular metric, is that most customers don’t bother filling out the survey unless they’re extremely happy or extremely upset with the call center agent. This skews the overall scores, and doesn’t provide a holistic understanding of true customer satisfaction.

Dialpad Ai can infer CSAT scores from the content of the customer conversation, which means you can essentially get CSAT scores for all your customer calls—without relying on people to fill out any surveys:

Greater scalability and cost-efficiency

For a growing retail company that’s opening new locations or expanding to new regions, a good contact center platform is important because it allows you to scale up—and down depending on seasonality—in a way that benefits your bottom line.

For example, with traditional call center solutions that use landline technology, it’s much more expensive (with a much higher initial investment needed) to spin up a new team of call center agents because you’d need to pay for the copper wiring, the hardware, and so on. Not to mention it can take weeks or even months to get up and running!

With Dialpad Ai Contact Center, on the other hand, you can set up a new contact center team in minutes—fully online from your dashboard—and start adding agents with a few clicks:

All you need to pay for here is the additional licenses that you’d need for the new agents you hired. And when you need to remove agents (say, when the holiday shopping season is over), you can easily do that too, again right from your dashboard.
