The leading Visual IVR vendor has launched a new product aimed at relieving call centers overwhelmed by COVID-19 related inbound volume spikes by delivering self-service resolutions while callers wait on hold.
BURLINGTON, MASS.(PRWEB)May 20, 2020— Zappix, the leader in Visual IVR and On-Demand Customer Service Solutions, has introduced Zappix On-Hold Support, a new product developed to assist companies in handling the increase of inbound call volume following the COVID-19 outbreak. Zappix On-Hold Support provides callers self-service options while they are on-hold waiting to speak with a live agent.
Increased calls to contact centers during the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in increasing average wait times. The new On-Hold Support solution offers callers the option to resolve their issue with automated self-service without losing their place in the queue. Customers opting into On-Hold Support will receive a link to visual interfaces delivering fast, easy-to-use resolutions for common calls like order status, account management, claims management, and many others across various industries.
If callers resolve their issue via the automated On-Hold Support solution, they can then end the call and avoid using up valuable live agent time. If not, callers continue their traditional IVR journey to a live agent and all the information they have entered will be sent to the agent for enhanced context and increased average handle time (AHT).
“The Zappix On-Hold Support solution allows customers to keep their spot in the traditional voice IVR queue while using Visual IVR to resolve their call on their own via self-service,” said Yossi Abraham, Zappix president. “This solution is helping businesses handle the increase of inbound calls they are receiving during the COVID-19 outbreak.”
The entire Zappix suite of products delivers powerful automation and customer self-service through innovative visual CX. Zappix customers are benefitting from:
- Reduced calls to agents
- Automation of repetitive processes, freeing live agents to focus on high-value tasks
- Shorter average handling times per call
- Lower contact center costs
- Improved customer experience (CX)
