What is an Omnichannel Contact Center?

An omnichannel call center software is a contact center solution that allows your contact center to provide seamless customer experience on any communication channel, and seamlessly switch between these communication channels without losing context. An omnichannel contact center allows your agents to provide an exceptional customer experience through multiple digital and traditional channels, like voice, email, text messaging, SMS, video chat, web chat, messenger apps, and more. Interactions on these channels can then be transferred to other supported channels, all while the agent maintains the context of the conversation. Omnichannel software solutions create more meaningful, personalized customer experiences.

What is Omnichannel Quality Management?

Bright Pattern’s platform provides a unique feature called omnichannel quality management. Omnichannel quality management, or Omni QM, allows supervisors and administrators in the contact center to monitor 100% of interactions on all channels. This is done due to Bright Pattern’s natively-built omnichannel platform and powerful AI integrations, which gives call center supervisors the opportunity to easily pool data into an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand dashboard. Omnichannel quality management enables call center managers and supervisors to conduct performance management with important interaction information, ensure customer preferences are being met, and ensure excellent customer interactions. Optimize the workforce and ensure smooth contact center operations. Furthermore, utilize the reporting dashboard and customize preferences and APIs to ensure that the data you’re getting from omnichannel quality management is useful and meaningful for your business.

Why is Omnichannel Better than Multichannel?

Omnichannel and multichannel are different types of call center platforms and can change how your call center delivers customer experience.

A multichannel call center, by design, may create friction in the customer journey. A multichannel contact center may support digital channels, but there is no seamless switching between communication channels and context is hard to transfer between channels. Furthermore, these channels are often bolted-on to an existing solution, meaning that adding new channels, upgrading hardware and software, and maintaining a multichannel platform can be costly and difficult. This means that there is not a single customer view and there can be disruptions in the seamless customer journey. A multichannel contact center may even lead to a bad customer experience.

An omnichannel contact center allows call centers to add new channels seamlessly, and allows for seamless switching between digital channels without losing context. This means an omnichannel platform can save time and money, improve customer experience, improve various KPIs and metrics, and improve workforce performance.

5 Benefits and Opportunities for Omnichannel Contact Centers

Omnichannel communication is a unique tool made possible by the digital age of technology. Every interaction with a customer is a chance to leave an impression, and the right contact center automation tools can help drive results with several key benefits and opportunities.

Omnichannel contact center solutions not only improve your customers’ experiences with your company but also increase your agents’ efficiency, since they have the freedom to answer simple questions quickly and grow as employees by focusing on more complex work. There are five main benefits that Bright Pattern has observed that can take cloud-based contact centers to the next level.

Creative a Cohesive Customer Experience

It's vital to build a consistent customer journey across channels. Omnichannel call center software is a unique opportunity to centralize your data integration and reach audiences with a reliable brand voice. If an audience member receives the same standard greeting with a branded catchphrase across five different platforms, this creates connectivity. Suppose another customer has a case number they received in an email, but they reply on Facebook Messenger. This situation presents a unique opportunity to win the customer with a response relevant to that case number.

Offer Instant Gratification

Modern customers expect instant connectivity on the platform they use to communicate with companies. Smartphones have increased this expectation by enhancing in-app chats, phone support, live chat and social media. Omnichannel support has now made it possible to widen your scope of customer engagement by being available to this audience on a regular basis, regardless of what platform they use to engage with your brand.

Reach a Wide Variety of Audiences

Omnichannel contact center solutions help you to reach various new audiences. For example, a clothing business may have two shopping or advertising channels on Facebook and Instagram. Typically, a Facebook audience skews to older demographics, while Instagram has a youthful target audience. Customer support on these two platforms reaches a wide selection of the population. An omnichannel contact center solution allows you to widen your communication channels and have an abundance of opportunities for old and new customers.

Gain Customer Insights

Omnichannel platforms like chats and social media leave an opportunity to record and analyze written data. When you leverage this properly, it becomes an opportunity to gain deeper insights into how customers view your brand. Candid conversations with agents often reveal trends in frequently asked questions (FAQs) and pain points. Great analysis can even lead to the invention of new products or features that solve common user problems.

Boost Agent Productivity

In a traditional phone call setting, agents can only handle one lengthy conversation at a time. With an omnichannel cloud contact center, agents can reply to a Messenger chat question and a text in minutes without lengthy formalities. The faster that your agents can respond to simple questions, the more time they can devote to complex situations that need attention. This software solution allows you to “wow” customers by going the extra mile to find a pleasing solution.
