Under pressure to remain at the top of the game, companies are rapidly adopting digital tools to retain competitiveness.  While this potentially delivers a range of benefits like increased efficiency and reduced costs, indiscriminate use of such tools can backfire.

Overdoing automation beyond a limit can lead to poor customer experience, resulting in low satisfaction. For example, a bank customer looking to resolve a critical issue may be frustrated if he finds the only options are dropping an email, navigating through lengthy IVR menus or leaving a message.

Emotional Connection from Human Contact Key

According to Accenture Strategy’s Global Consumer Pulse Research,  83 percent  of customers have indicated that they prefer human beings over digital channels for solving customer service issues.

Customers clearly still place value on talking to actual humans when they contact a company.

A failure to have the right balance between digital tools and human touch can result in a company being seen as impersonal and customers feeling that it doesn’t care.

Fortunately, technology itself can provide answers to this conundrum.
