What is Missing in Customer Service and Support?
The majority of customer service and support organizations have already invested in call routing and case management systems yet the issue of cost and service persists. Industry research shows that 80% of support costs are consumed in solving the customer and employee problem, as opposed to routing and case management tasks. KNOVA Contact Center delivers the missing piece of the service and support process with a service resolution management application fully integrated with CRM and help desk applications.
Additionally, KNOVA can help a support organization move from a cost center to a profit center by introducing dynamically generated best bets and links for cross-sell and up-sell offers, alerts and news. These may be placed on any page in the application or on search results, and can prompt agents with contextual offers during live agent interactions.
Agent Experience Adapts to Customer Context
When asking support agents about their biggest pain point, most will say that they can’t locate the information needed to effectively and efficiently answer incoming questions. Search today is static and delivers documents, not answers and knowledge.
In contrast, KNOVA Contact Center guides the agent through a dynamic, adaptive experience specifically targeted towards solving each customer’s issue. The resolution workbench provides patented adaptive search and navigation with comprehensive capabilities including interviews, collaborative support and response templates. The resolution experience is optimized through the resolution flow engine to raise the overall quality and effectiveness of service that your agents deliver.
A common corporate goal is to shift service-oriented calls into new revenue opportunities. However, providing world-class service can be diminished when cross-sell and up-sell initiatives are not appropriately woven into the overall customer interaction. KNOVA tracks context-sensitive knowledge in the course of each interaction. This allows highly-tailored enterprise-driven recommendations to be pushed to agent at the appropriate point in the service interaction to achieve natural cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.
Agents Improve the System Just by Using It
Traditional knowledge management is cumbersome and costly, requiring highly trained authors to write content in a specialized and complex structure. Furthermore, search tuning rarely delivers the desired results and requires skilled experts. KNOVA integrates structured and unstructured content from across the enterprise by leveraging patented auto-classification and segmentation methods.
With KNOVA, agents can capture new knowledge as a natural part of their resolution process. The search experience can be improved automatically through usage.
In addition, KNOVA’s analytics leverage this usage-based data to get past simple categories and keywords to help you understand not only what happened, but why. The result is root cause analysis that makes products more useable and more serviceable to keep incidents out of the support center.
Seamless Agent Experience for a Satisfying Customer Experience
KNOVA has robust integrations with case management systems to provide a seamless service resolution experience across the customer service or help desk process. The case information and customer profile from a CRM system is used to drive the resolution process. Case notes, resolution session information and new resolution solutions are then captured as part of the CRM case.
Additionally, information from the CRM or case management system can be used to tailor the self-service experience providing a rich online resolution process that can deflect calls from the contact center.
