If you’re having contact center challenges, you’re not alone. Many companies experience and struggle with technological and analytic limitations and needs, but there are solutions including simply being prepared for them when they arise. 

Below are some common contact center challenges, along with solutions from FirstDigital.

Technological Limitations or Needs

Great contact center technology is hard to come by and is a big concern for a lot of companies because bad technology results in poor customer experiences and low retention. In fact, having tech problems with their contact center accounts for much dissatisfaction from companies. This dissatisfaction comes from IT issues (59.1%), disjointed technology (30.6%), and the need for new technology (53.8%). Combine these three issues and they add up to having a huge problem that can’t be fixed through simple staff or process updates.

Analytic Limitations or Needs

Gathering pertinent data from your contact center is essential. It enables you to make informed decisions on future strategies and to gauge customer feedback. Unfortunately, some contact center techs lack the ability to create involved, useful analytics. Fortunately, this is another area where FirstDigital excels.

We offer:

  • Predictive analytics-based routing to predict needs and identify top-performing agents who deliver optimal results
  • Embedded Salesforce app for rich contextual info on each customer interaction
  • 360° customer journey analytics at every stage of the customer journey

Some of the analytics we cover include:

  • First Contact Resolution (FCR), which reduces the need for multiple customer account contacts and touches
  • Cost per Contact for viewing the resources and costs of operation (rent, utilities, employee wages, tech needs, etc.) in terms of number of contacts
  • Abandoned Call Rate to know the true and strictly regulated ratio of customers who are trying to contact versus the customers who actually connect
  • Average Speed of Answer (ASA) for measuring the number of seconds or minutes a customer stays on hold before connecting to a representative
  • Average Handle Time (AHT), which tracks how long a representative stays on a call with a customer
  • Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) for analyzing overall customer satisfaction
