The three technology companies that have combined their unique expertise aim to bring banks closer to their customers. Their initiative is to provide IT solutions that would listen closely to the voice of customers and provide real-time feedback.
Software company CCA Europe.pl, the Polish branch of the global IT provider NTT Poland and Startquestion have joined forces in three areas: VoC, banking software expertise and global IT know-how. The long-term aim of the partnership is to improve the quality of customer experience in banking not only in Poland but also globally.
Customer Experience First
In the coming years, customer experience (CX) will undoubtedly be a growing area of interest for business.
According to the latest report by NTT Ltd. titled 2020 Customer Experience Benchmarking, 81.6% of respondents believe that CX increases company competitiveness. In addition, 58% consider positive customer experience as the organization’s main competitive advantage. And this is not just empty words. According to data, the number of organizations using knowledge collected based on CX to improve products and services has almost doubled in the last 12 months.
A well-planned strategy based on feedback from customers is important in building positive customer experience. Intuitive CX solutions anticipate the information that customers may need and provides it in a timely manner to reduce the search to the necessary minimum. Knowing why customers contact the company, it is possible to design smart digital environments using data and automation to proactively generate information and easily distribute it across different communication channels.
The authors of the report emphasize that it is vital to skillfully use technology as a key factor in enabling correlation between CX and business results. Organizations that understand and track the added value coming from CX, recognizing it as a key element of their strategy, offer a much better quality of customer service. 28.3% receive recommendations from clients (against an average result of 9.5%), and only 19.3% receive critical comments (compared to 64.2% of other companies).
Efforts to improve the quality of customer experience brings measurable profits. As stated by the NTT report, organizations using customer feedback programs have noted significantly higher benefits from CX improvement than others: 64.9% saw a growth in customer loyalty and value, 50% improved their revenues/profits, and 38.4% also reduced costs. In turn, the authors of the report CX Drivers prepared by Deloitte have forecast that the combination of technological possibilities and careful tuning into the voice of the customer is a way to new business models that will prove successful in changing markets, under the ever-growing competitive pressure.
