Introduction
Our clients often face challenges with trying to bring different systems together to offer their customers a seamless, omnichannel experience.
We are seeing an increased adoption of website chatbots being used to signpost key information and divert potential calls from a contact centre where possible.
This approach works well in isolation, what happens however when we need to escalate a chatbot based conversation and facilitate the customer engaging with your contact centre agents?
Often this requires a customer to call your contact centre and effectively start the triage process again which removes the value of any partial conversations that have taken place with your chatbot.
A better solution, albeit with it's own challenges is to seamlessly elevate a chatbot conversation through to live chat.
Although with integrated live chat capabilities your contact centre agents receive the context of the conversation - they still need to manually lookup additional information for your customer.
