Why customer self-service solutions are essential
Customer service requirements are constantly evolving. Customers expect not only quick and competent support, but also personalized support — and preferably around the clock. For companies such as Internet service providers, network operators and public utilities, this means focusing on service quality, optimizing costs and making internal processes more efficient. Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automated systems and, in particular, customer self-service solutions play a decisive role in this area of conflict.
Self-service solutions enable customers to solve problems independently without having to rely on the help of a service employee. This not only relieves the service hotline, but also creates capacity to deal with more complex issues. Customers today prefer to help themselves. A Gartner report shows that 70% of customers use self-service channels to solve problems. Self-service is essential not only in the B2C sector but also in the B2B sector: According to a Salesforce study, 89% of decision makers in the B2B segment consider self-service essential to drive the development and growth of their companies. It is crucial that the solutions are intuitive to use and available at any time. As a result, companies benefit from lower operating costs and shorter processing times.
