A perpetually busy customer can benefit from ultimate customer experience along with real-time and hands-free shopping facility. To enhance this experience, call centers will go the extra mile to introduce voice plus screen experience, so that the voice interactions can be made more intuitive. This also signifies that traditional chatbots will soon give way to smart bots that are powered by voice recognition.

Major retailers like home furnishing giants, fast-fashion chains and cosmetics companies have started leveraging AR to make interactions with customers more interactive and engaging.

With the tension of errors out of the way, agents can work more efficiently. Companies would also embrace personalized interactive video tools during video calls so that videos can be played while agents correct errors in the back end. This would give customers a positive outlook while keeping them truly engaged.

  • Enhancing Customer Experience Through Transparency

    Enhancing Customer Experience Through Transparency

Companies with transparent philosophy inspire confidence in their customers and it goes a long way towards building loyalty. Therefore, transparency will be an important customer experience trends for 2020.
