Technology plays a significant role in business and consumer interactions, from a company’s hybrid work environments to its customer service capabilities.
In the consumer sector, a recent study showed that digital interactions rose to 58% percent in 2020, compared to 38% in 2019. Customers also want AI and self-service options to enhance their service experience. In fact, 81% of customers want more self-service options.
In the world of business, remote and hybrid work environments have caused many companies to change their tech capabilities. Supporting a hybrid or fully remote workforce requires communication integration, automatization, and a collective data bank.
While companies know advanced tech is crucial to driving innovation and increasing customer engagement, setting up and maintaining in-house technology can present challenges.
Upfront software costs, coupled with the need for added staffing to manage in-house IT and product support, can be too much for a business to handle internally. To save on resources and boost consumer care, companies turn to inbound call centers for skilled agents and access to contact center technologies.

The Details & Benefits
No matter what industry, inbound call centers provide important technology and product support solutions.
Resolving Tech Issues
These days, tech issues are far more complex than simply resetting a password. When customers reach out to businesses, their tech needs are far more complex and often urgent. There’s also an emotional component that shouldn’t be ignored. Angry, frustrated, or stressed customers need their concerns addressed quickly and compassionately.
With 97% of customers staying with a company that turns a bad experience into a positive one, tech support can help boost customer loyalty.
Whether it’s a patient with a telehealth appointment or a retail customer conducting an online purchase, call center agents can access the platform, assess the situation, and fix issues. In essence, turning a tech glitch into a positive customer interaction. Plus, call centers provide real-time engagement, as they’re at the ready 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
