Customer satisfaction matters. A lot.
Even small improvements in customer experience can increase likelihood of purchase. By the same token, small losses in customer loyalty can have a major impact on the bottom line. It’s especially true in a digital world where customer opinion can spread across social media, online publications, and rating sites like Gartner’s in seconds.
The challenge is that customer retention isn’t easy. Anyone who’s worked in customer service knows that keeping customers happy is hard. And it’s become exponentially harder as support has moved from an on-premises role to an almost exclusively remote, chat-driven role.
Data: Your Secret Weapon to Making Customers Happy (and Accelerating NPS)
When the only tools you have to interact with customers are a keyboard and a headset, data counts. Data on individual customers and your larger installed base provides a wealth of information for resolving issues. This includes:
- Customer purchase and deployment records
- System-level service analytics
- Ecosystem analytics (how the product is interacting with its environment)
- Corollary data from other customers
- Service notices from component suppliers
Combined, this information enables your service teams to resolve issues faster and proactively remediate issues. This can have a massive uplift on customer sentiment and your company’s Net Promoter Score (NPS).

Unfortunately, not every organization is at a point where it can harness this data. Call centers, in particular, run into data-related challenges. Customer-service leaders have recognized a key ingredient that can mean the difference between having to push customers through multiple tiers of support teams and delivering a one-step service experience.
That key ingredient? AI.
