It’s All About The Guided Process Workflows

SpiceCSM does many things well, but its key tools are the Guided Process Workflows. These processes allow best practices to be melded with robust integrations to other systems to provide agents all the tools and information necessary resulting in excellence in customer service and support. With the guided process SpiceCSM is able to provide an increase in First Call Resolution, lower training costs and requirements, easy cross-selling and upselling, and ensures consistent delivery of service. It also helps cut costs, minimize training time, and reduce agent turnover rates. SpiceCSM allows complete revision control over process files, allowing you to continuously revise, update, and refine processes to meet any newly arising challenges within your business. 

After a standard deployment customers often forget to revisit the content that was initially put into place because they work so well. While content can be put into place and used for an extended period of time, we highly encourage you to go back and look at these process workflows while asking yourself some of the following questions: 

  • What actions could be automated via new or existing integrations?

  • Is there additional data that could be captured to further assist you in helping your customers?

  • Are there additional case parameters you could utilize to keep your team in the know or better your reporting?

  • Are there steps in the processes that could be performed by SpiceCSM using logic?

  • Is the agent provided with proper information and any pertinent notes?

  • Have you investigated any new integration capabilities or features within SpiceCSM?

At SpiceCSM we are continuously expanding our integration capabilities as well as our feature-set to allow SpiceCSM to become your central hub or “overlay” system to connect all of the various parts of your business.

Asking yourself these questions while revisiting your current workflows will help you accomplish your next set of business goals and result in robust and dynamic support and service processes. If you would like to know more about SpiceCSM and our ever-expanding integration capabilities and feature set, contact your Customer Service Manager or our sales team today.

Reducing the Impact of Technology on Training

3 Ways to Reduce Training Time Using Technology If you really want to reduce training time, we challenge you to look at the technology your agents are using. Is it simple to use? Does it proactively help agents? Does it make their jobs easier? If you didn't answer YES to all of those questions, you could be complicating your training efforts out of the gate due to the technology your agents utilize to manage the customer journey. One of the unsung heroes of SpiceCSM's Business Process/BPM tool is the ability to reduce the amount of time agents need to start producing at the levels of longstanding employees. Typically when bringing new agents onto the team there's a period of training, usually involving some classroom knowledge transfer, exercises, role playing, and a variety of other methods to give the agents resources to solve requests efficiently. Depending on the organization and type of business, this could take anywhere from 1 - 12 weeks, or longer. In higher turnover environments this only exacerbates training challenges and emphasizes the need to make new employees more productive in less time. Here are 3 ways you can utilize technology to help reduce training efforts:

What is iPaaS: Explaining Integration Capabilities

What is iPaaS: Explaining Integration Capabilities What is iPaaS? iPaas is a cloud-based platform that allows businesses to connect their existing systems together. It provides a single interface where users can access their data from across different software platforms. This means they can view information from one application within another without having to switch between them. The platform also makes it easy for people to build new integrations by providing low-code tools that allow connections to be made with external systems.

Low-Code Application Platform: What is it??

LCAP - What is a Low-Code Application Platform The vision that SpiceCSM has from our inception was to have an application that provided the tools to customize the user experience easily and orchestrate data without the need for technical expertise. What we've been calling an "Enterprise Application Builder" is now being recognized by leading analysts as a Low-Code Application platform, or LCAP for short.
