Frequently asked questions about retail customer service software

What are the essential features of customer service software for retail?

There’s a wide range of things that your customer service software should be able to do to help provide better shopping experiences, but here are a few examples:

  • Predictive AI-led “next best action” engagements based on in-the-moment as well as historical behavior and preferences
  • An omnichannel view of customers bridging online/offline behavior for hyper-personalized AI-led outreach
  • Customer journey analysis throughout the buying journey and across channels
  • Process automation

How does customer service software improve customer loyalty?

The importance of customer service can’t be overstated. According to Genesys research, 30% of consumers say they’ve stopped doing business with a company after a negative customer service interaction. Customer service software improves the quality of service, reducing the errors that can lead to losing a customer.

Can small retailers benefit from high-end customer service software?

Yes, any retailer can benefit from using customer service software. Enhancing customer service is, if anything, more important to a smaller retailer than a larger one because the cost of losing a customer is so high. And with a smaller support staff, the benefits of AI and automated self-service are amplified, keeping the human agents you do have available ready for the bigger, more complex challenges that require escalation.

How should you train your team to use new customer service software effectively?

One of the most important things that you can do in the training process is to get buy-in from your customer service team. They need to understand that customer service software — and especially its ability to provide self-service options to customers using automation and AI — is a tool to help make their jobs easier, rather than a replacement.

In terms of actually teaching agents how to use the software, your vendor should have a customer success team that can help. Either way, involving agents in the demo and trial process can be helpful, as it gives them time to use the new software while there’s a safety net in place.
