In an era when digital interactions are the norm, younger customers are expecting swift, seamless and efficient service from contact centres.
Businesses must move beyond traditional phone calls to meet these expectations, instead embracing embrace AI-driven solutions that cater to digital communication preferences – think WhatsApp conversations, chatbots and social media direct messages.
Here’s how our AI technology is transforming contact centres to better serve younger, digital-first customers.
60% of Gen Z prefer using chatbots
Younger customers prefer quick, instant interactions online, making chatbots an ideal solution for this crucial demographic.
Chatbots have become a familiar interaction in most of our daily lives. However, government contact centres haven’t always been quick to adjust to this new mode of communication.
With our AI-powered chatbots, your customers can receive immediate, factually correct responses to inquiries. Common issues can be resolved without the need for human intervention. This not only satisfies the demand for instant service but also frees up human agents to handle more complex tasks.
Cross-channel continuity with web chat summarisation
Now that many interactions occur through web chats and messaging, it is essential to ensure these engagements are efficiently documented. This helps to create a hyper-personalised customer experience, with previous queries and responses informing future interactions, regardless of the channel the customer uses.
We achieve this through our AI summarisation service, which captures key points from web chats – helping to handle over 200,000 online communications a year. This continuity enhances the overall customer experience by making each individual feel valued and understood. This breaks down silos between phone calls and chat conversations that can cause frustration and dissatisfaction amongst customers.
Bring the human touch through AI-driven email personalisation
Email remains a critical communication channel for customers, especially if they have detailed queries or require follow-up information. At Maximus, we respond to over 97,000 emails a year.
But customer standards of email communication have risen. Now, many of us expect the same level of personalisation as a phone call or face to face.
Our AI-driven email generation creates personalised, context-aware responses that go beyond standard templates. This personalisation resonates more with younger customers, who favour tailored communication, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as finances or mental health.
Create cross-channel continuity
Digital generations use multiple devices and channels within a single day, which means they might require customer service via chatbot or social media one day and by email the next. This makes cross-channel continuity essential.
Our technology utilises bespoke AI summarisation tools that capture and distil key points from various digital interactions with the customer, ensuring relevant information is available to access for any future communications, whilst reducing the need for customers to repeat themselves.
Evolve your services as your customers evolve
AI allows us to gain deep insights from digital interactions, uncovering trends and preferences unique to younger customers.
By analysing chat logs, email content, phone call transcripts and social media interactions, we can identify common issues, popular features and areas for improvement, helping you tailor your services to better meet the needs of digitally inclined customers.
This means that as your customer base evolves and moves through generations, so does your services and our support.
