Customer Journey

Today’s enterprise is awash in data. With customer and sales information rapidly funneling through organizational source systems from field and partner sales organizations, contact centers, back offices, and field service groups, it is critical for operations to manage the data holistically and present employees with one version of the truth -Director of Contact Center Operations, Large Mutual Fund Company

Improving customer journey is a critical initiative for any organization trying to drive better customer experience or reduce operational costs. Customers typically travel through multiple interaction channels in making a purchase or receiving support. Each step in their journey is a critical opportunity to help customers make the right purchase choice, eliminate barriers and obstacles that lead to frustration and churn, and shape a positive customer experience.

Yet, as the typical customer journey becomes increasingly fragmented with multiple channels, functions, and systems, companies find it difficult to “solve the whole problem”. Customers feel like they are not being well treated by their service providers even though they have put great effort into their inquiries. Service providers on the other hand feel they are not able to cost-effectively resolve customer issues without using systems (e.g. web and IVR) that promote self-service. The customer journey must be optimized for both parties to win.

Mapping and uncovering insights across the customer journey is a hard problem and it requires the enhancement of transactional data with customer information to find optimization opportunities. Merced Service Intelligence, part of the Merced Intelligence family of analytic applications, solves this problem. Along with measuring and tracking key metrics such as transfers, service levels by queue, agent quality, productivity and CSAT, managers can now look at these metrics by specific customer segments, independent of interaction channel. This delivers actionable information to guide agent, channel and operational alignment according to customer segment needs.
