Your customers’ experience should be a top priority for business owners, and for better or worse, technology plays a massive role in shaping that experience.
A seamless, hassle-free experience keeps customers happy and loyal to your brand. In this article, we’ll discuss how some simple technology solutions can vastly improve your customers’ interactions with your business.
Streamline Scheduling and Appointments
Two areas ripe for improvement are scheduling and appointments. Customers want the convenience of booking themselves online at their convenience. With Microsoft 365, you can set up an online booking page where customers select the staff member, date, and time that works best for them. The system automatically syncs with your team’s calendars to check availability. Customers receive email reminders, and you avoid double bookings. This self-service option saves customers time and gives them control.
Ensure a Smooth In-Store Experience
How often have you heard staff complain that “the computer is running slow”? Outdated hardware and software can slow down every transaction and leave customers waiting longer than they should.
Unreliable printers and other peripherals also limit your staff’s workflow efficiency. As a managed service provider, we can optimize your network, install the latest software updates, and replace aging devices. A quick, reliable system makes for happier customers and employees.
Get Customers the Information They Need, Fast
It’s about more than just customer-facing features, too. Can your staff easily find what they need when a customer has a question? If data lives in different locations, such as local files and cloud services, it introduces delays. Centralizing customer records in a cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) system allows employees to pull up information instantly.
Add Convenience Through Technology
While fixing issues is important, new features can also enhance the customer experience. For example, allowing customers to pay using their phone through Apple Pay makes checkout quicker, and sending SMS notifications when an order is ready for pickup adds convenience.
