According to various industry reports, customers say that having to repeat their problems as their query is passed across multiple agents, is the most frustrating aspect of dealing with contact centers. This is further magnified when switching across traditional and new media channels. Using an innovative context-passing capability, AssistEdge integrates the customer history from various channels and presents it to a call center agent within a single window dashboard.  This distinct capability enables faster query resolution and helps companies significantly reduce average call handling time.

AssistEdge empowers customers to resolve issues by themselves through a powerful self-care engine. Equipped with interactive text, visual and video troubleshooting mechanisms, it also offers recommendations from relevant social forums and communities for peer-to-peer assistance. This helps significantly reduce contact center call volumes.

AssistEdge incorporates an intelligent routing algorithm which analyzes and directs queries requiring expert assistance, in real-time, to the right expert based on parameters such as skill, geography, priority, and workload. This aids faster call resolution, along with a better understanding of customer's interaction history and social preferences, creating opportunities for greater cross-sell and up-sell.  

Early deployment at a Fortune 500 company has delivered

• faster query resolution reducing average call handling time by up to 50 per cent
• reduced contact center call volumes by as much as 25 per cent
• estimated annual savings of over 25 percent
• payback in less than three months

AssistEdge is available both on-premise and on a hosted private cloud.
