ServiceNow Customer Service Management Beyond Traditional Solutions
Written by Harini Krish
Lead Technical Content WriterIn today's world, customer service is all about providing services to customers before, during, and after purchasing a product or service. Customer Service is one of the significant impacts on our business. Better the customer services, better the business. The first rule of every business is to hold on to the existing customers and build a loyal relationship with them. Nowadays, many companies face a huge loss because of bad customer service, which sometimes brings down the company.
Getting a first response time and increasing the first contact resolution rate are just the small benefits you can get using ServiceNow Customer Service Management (CSM). Actually, a ServiceNow CSM solution can help you go further by improving your interdepartmental collaboration on solving customer issues and adopt a proactive customer service to increase your customer satisfaction ranking and retention rates.
Customer Service Challenges
Locate the root cause of the issue
Disconnected communication channels
Lack of transparency and time consuming
Lesser options for the user to resolve the problems by themselves
The same issue -multiple occurrences leads to support failure
Lack of consistent Customer experience
ServiceNow has introduced a very powerful module known as Customer Service Management (CSM) to overcome these issues. The goal of the Customer Service Management (CSM) application is to connect you, the customer service agent, with other teams to resolve issues quickly and proactively. By implementing this module, the client improves its customer service problem and provides each user self-portal access to track the case life cycle from creation to closure.
ServiceNow Customer Service Management gives customers a portal that delivers an effortless self-service experience. Our method connects people, workflow, and ways to engage across departments in resolution and case management. This solution improves efficiency in automation and gives the agents visibility into the customer systems, and tools for carrying out the root cause analyses to deliver proactive services.
The result is customer service that is,
- Effortless: Automate, Integrate and Personalize Self Service
- Connected: Assign and Resolve Issues
- Proactive: Monitor, Measure, and Prevent Issues
Customer service needs more than what usual Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems deliver. To give high-quality service and succeed, organizations must offer an effortless experience by connecting customer service to the other parts of the organization to work together to identify, fix, and even avoid issues.
An innovative approach is looked-for. For example, the current customer service organization works with teams across its business to fix problems for various customers at once instead of addressing issues one at a time. As a result, they respond faster to customer worries with real-time solutions. Moreover, they move beyond day-to-day demands to deliver proactive strategies that drive real business improvement and growth. ServiceNow Quebec release can prepare your organization with the latest updates and configurations.
ServiceNow Customer Service Management is Different
- It provides your customers a portal that delivers an effortless self-service experience.
- Its approach connects people, workflow, and processes to engage across departments in case management and resolution.
- It improves efficiency with automation, giving agents visibility into customer systems' health and tools for performing root cause analyses to provide proactive service. The result is customer service that is easy, connected, and proactive.
One module has many solutions, and your business starts flying if you have better customer care services. Every company's goal is to increase its customer base. Of course, this comes with the great pressure of providing best in class customer experience (CX). And with growing customers, it's not possible to increase the customer service team size. Nowadays, customers want to resolve the issues by themselves before reaching out to the agent. This is a blessing in disguise for the service provider, and CSM is that blessing.
ServiceNow CSM provides a platform where all the interactions with the end-user can be tracked and managed. This is done with the help of out-of-the-box workflows and tools that come with CSM. Far-reach management of the customer experience through all the channels of interactions is the sole purpose of the CSM. It provides automation of everyday activities for ease of customer experience. For example, rather than working in Silos, it connects different departments' systems to resolve customer queries.
ServiceNow CSM can deliver services effortlessly, with more connectivity, and proactively, resulting in improved customer satisfaction at reduced case volumes and costs. In addition, offering agility in the inter-connectivity of customer service departments with other business department and teams help businesses to provide quick and proactive resolutions.
