Gone are the days when customer service was a siloed function which catered to all service related issues independently. As the competition goes up, and the customer is more aware than ever, you need an integrated customer service management platform that spans across your organization to deliver tangible business results. By connecting customer service with other departments, you can identify and resolve issues faster, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs at every level.
In this blog, we talk about ServiceNow Customer Service Management platform, and how it can help your business save time and cost, so that you can focus on more strategic things at hand.
Before we discuss the features and benefits of ServiceNow CSM, it is important to address the need of a new age customer service platform. Customer management as a silo function can be counter-productive. Without appropriate insights on issues and concerns, the customer service team becomes just a coordinator with other disintegrated business functions.
Having an integrated customer service platform puts the onus on each team and function in the customer service lifecycle. It allows you to not only save on important resources by tagging the issues in real time but also allows you to task the entire team to deliver a great customer service experience.
When you do not have to assign special resources to act as a link between the customer service and the field support, you can reduce your expenses to a great extent. ServiceNow CSM allows you to drive efficiencies by building a Service Catalogue which automates tasks for common customer issues.
The platform is equipped with features such as self-service portal, knowledge management & communities, which focus on assisting your customers without excessive personnel involvement.
By investing in a robust and all-inclusive customer service management platform, you can improve the connectivity between your customer service and field tech support teams. This makes service a “team offering” instead of a series of disconnected activities from siloed departments, which in turn makes it more efficient and time saving.
