Positive, efficient customer service can make or break your business. Your marketing department may turn cartwheels to onboard new customers. But if you lose them because of mediocre customer service, those efforts will have been wasted. Many companies have answered the challenge by turning to an Omnichannel solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service.
Customers generally engage with your service reps when they need assistance with an order. Sometimes they are unhappy with a product or service. They want to know how you’re going to fix the problem. They may come to you with a negative attitude. What can you do to turn the situation around and leave them feeling good about doing business with your company?
First of all, customers want you to be responsive, and they don’t want to wait. Because customers may contact your business across multiple channels (e.g., phone, email, text, online chat, or social media), efficiently handling cases can be tricky. To handle a case, you need to have all the relevant data at your fingertips. For that, you’ll need the right tools.
Start with your systems
Effective customer service begins with a system that is easy to use – for both your service reps and your customers. You need a system that can consolidate information in a central location. You also need AI (artificial intelligence) tools that can direct your team to the best solution to a problem.
Having all your customer’s order and service history available allows your team to determine quickly the best way to proceed. Your customer service reps will also be able to see what’s already been tried and, if necessary, pass the customer on to the appropriate person.
What system can handle that?
Interact in multiple ways
The Omnichannel solution for Dynamics 365 Customer Service allows you to interact with customers and handle service cases via the web, phone, email, chat, and social media. You will have all your information collected in a single database. There will be no more delays while customers are passed from department to department and no more repeating the same information over and over again. Take the frustration out of customer service and give your customers an experience that will inspire loyalty to your company.

Omnichannel for Dynamics 365 Customer Service goes beyond collecting data from the various channels. It also helps you create rules for routing cases to the proper resources.
