The simple answer would be to boost staff productivity.
When your staff have access to customer data on their fingers, the average call handle time (AHT) goes down. Also, this access to information improves the first call resolution (FCR) rates. Further, by handling swiftly, the average call abandonment rate comes down. All this combined adds to the Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) rate and improved customer service.
The landscape for customer service has transformed immensely. Businesses are under constant pressure to deliver exceptional customer service and maintain operational efficiency while at it. Dynamics 365 telephony integration system fulfills this need by offering a centralized platform to manage telephony activities and streamline communication processes. Dynamics Telephony does this by automating the call handling processes, eliminating manual data entry, and facilitating automated call routing, thereby helping businesses reduce response time, improve overall staff productivity, and boost customer satisfaction.
Whenever a customer calls, the integration application pulls up that caller’s information in Dynamics 365, thus, the agent gets to know who is calling through the basic details displayed like name, contact information, and the reason for the call through details such as last interaction history, additional notes added by previous agent, etc. popped on the screen.
