“To fully understand a customer and implement better CX strategies it is vital for businesses to leverage analytics. Advanced analytics is the key differentiator that can make significant improvements in customer satisfaction. Today’s digitally adept customers interact with a particular brand through various touch points across many channels like website, mobile apps, or contact centre. Each interaction is a vital part of the overall customer experience. Thus, making it extremely critical for organizations to understand the ‘voice of the customer.’ Metrics and KPIs reveal motivations, interests, and needs associated with customers.’’ said Uthaman Bakthikrishnan, Executive Vice President of ClearTouch.

50% of the organizations have omnichannel capabilities, to provide a consistent experience to customers across channels, with the remaining 50% operating more than two channels to provide customer experiences.

Thus, organizations need to reinvent their offerings.
