Next time you order a pizza for delivery and the restaurant's automated service knows your address without having to ask, don’t be too frightened – it just might be using Angel’s all-new location services intelligence in its IVR system.
The leading provider of enterprise-focused, cloud-based customer experience management solutions, Angel has now integrated location services capabilities into its cloud-based Customer Experience Platform and IVR technology. Now, organizations of all types can promise a more enhanced and speedy customer experience through the use of location-smart technology across landline and mobile phones in order to gain visibility into a caller’s location
Thanks to device agnostic functionality, location services intelligence within Angel’s IVR technology will help organizations more efficiently direct inbound calls based on location to the right resource within a business, thus reducing call time and guaranteeing the customer receives more targeted services. Better yet, operators will be able to determine a caller’s location down to the address, closest intersection or nearby landmark --meaning your pepperoni pizza will be at your door before you know it!
"A customer's experience should be a company's ultimate priority; however, too many organizations are content with taking a passive approach to their customer care," said Don Keane (News - Alert), vice president of marketing at Angel, in a statement. "By integrating location services with our IVR technology, organizations can build a proactive customer care strategy that incorporates real-time information, such as a caller's location and whether the call is from a cell phone, all while reducing costs and optimizing resources. This technology can quickly ease everything from ordering a pizza, to tracking the statuses of field employees, to marketing to consumers when close to a retail location."
In addition to the ability to determine a caller’s location for both inbound and outbound calls, businesses will also be able to engage in two-way SMS messaging with the customer. Even more, mobile customers are granted the opportunity to opt-in to the location intelligence service since this solution deploys without having to install an independent mobile application.
"Using real-time location intelligence, businesses can provide the best possible customer experience," said Keane. "When it comes to customer care, companies have a small fraction of time to obtain all the necessary information to provide exceptional service. With location-smart technology, businesses can gain immediate location insight, enhance customer communications and strengthen customer loyalty."
