Even though individualisation has established itself as a <b>prerequisite for quality customer care experience<\/b>, companies still need to pay close attention to users and consumers on every channel. However, emerging stakeholders dedicated to catering to every digital touch points demand to analyze the evolution of consumers\u2019 expectations and usages through their viewpoint. Why does <b>the concept of omni-digital<\/b>, often overshadowed by the one of omni-channel, still need to gain acceptance in the world of marketing and digital customer care ?<\/p>\n<h2>The steady concern for omni-channel<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Omni-channel&#8221;\u00a0alludes to the capacity of a company to integrate multiple channels or &#8220;touch points&#8221;, whether they be digital or not. A company that customers can contact via email or phone, for example, can call itself omnichannel. As a PwC study certifies, the advantages of good omni-channel approaches are already proven since it gives companies the ability to <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invespcro.com\/blog\/state-of-omnichannel-shopping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">retain 89% of their customer base<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>The changeover to asynchronous<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/__data\/assets\/pdf_file\/0022\/117256\/CMR-2018-narrative-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">An Ofcom study<\/a> shows that younger generations <b>favor digital channels<\/b> at the expense of more traditional channels such as the phone. This changeover is the direct consequence of the need to emancipate themselves from time constraints. This explains the <b>wide enthusiasm for asynchronous apps<\/b>. These apps also give the freedom to start a conversation at leisure and receive an appropriate answer as soon as possible which gives users the experience of less demanding conversations.<\/p>\n<h2>Omni-digital, a context that a growing number of companies are prioritising<\/h2>\n<p>More and more customers, especially in industries such as banking or insurance, do not use physical channels to contact businesses (stores, phone customer care, \u2026). In the banking industry, PwC revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/industries\/financial-services\/library\/digital-banking-consumer-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">46% of customers have embraced an omni-digital approach in 2017<\/a>, against 27% in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Omni-digital customers expect <b>a smooth experience<\/b> : what counts for them is to be able to use the channel they prefer to find a solution to their problem. Companies need to be able to offer a uniformed quality service across all of their touch points.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;Omni-digital&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0involves a strong aspect of connectivity that constitutes a major stake for companies regarding the variety of touch points they offer to their customers and users. Moreover, digital tools such as interactions platforms, CRMs, statistics tools, call platforms, process managing, etc have become crucial to Customer Care departments. The essential circulation of information is now possible thanks to the <b>interconnectivity of all these tools.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>For everyone involved, omni-digital is a win\/win offering. It consistently allows customers to communicate with companies at any time of day, without depending on customer service opening hours. Whilst, for the agents, through clearer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/communication-channels\/\">communication channels<\/a> their job becomes less stressful and more interesting and ultimately, allows them to provide a better, more efficient service.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is a reflection of a company\u2019s decision to adapt to its customers\u2019 preferences; offering digital channels in order to reduce time wasted solving an issue. The biggest advantage of this approach is that it has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2010\/07\/stop-trying-to-delight-your-customers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the most impact on customer loyalty.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/engage.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29971\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CTA-Demo-EN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of today\u2019s greatest stakes to retain customers\u2019 loyalty, who are becoming always more fickle, is offering personalized and seamless customer care.
