As we look back on the past year, it’s hard not to reflect on the many challenges and surprises that 2022 brought. But through it all, the Humley team has remained dedicated to developing and implementing our cutting-edge conversational AI solutions.
Delivering this level of service customers is not always a simple task and contact centres are faced with a wide variety of challenges, which have in part been compounded by the pandemic of 2020, which has changed working practises and consumer habits. Additionally, the recent economic crisis which is driving individuals to seek roles with more opportunities, flexibility and better pay, a trend which is more frequently being referred to as ‘The Great Resignation’. This article explores 3 of the more common challenges faced by contact centres today and how technology can be used to help businesses to overcome them.
The last year has hardly been smooth sailing for businesses, with global and local events taking their toll – from the cost of energy and inflation increasing operational costs to the same factors decreasing consumer purchasing.

The way in which brands support their customers at all stages of their life cycle has always been a fundamental part of a business’s strategy, however in recent years the way consumers expect to receive that support and information have changed. So, the question for organisations is, how can they adapt and evolve their existing customer service processes to meet expectations and ensure retention?
The question for many businesses is how they ensure that agents have the knowledge and information they need to support customers regardless of where they are in their training cycle. Conversational Assistants could offer a solution.

So, the question for businesses is, how can they do more with less? Intelligent Automation could offer a solution, enabling businesses to run services and processes 24/7 with minimal human support.
Self-service is generally not a new concept in the world of retail and customer support. In fact, a survey conducted by Zendesk found that 67% of consumers now prefer to resolve their requests or issue without speaking to a company representative.

Broadly speaking (although important to note there are exceptions), within the Conversational AI space technologies can be defined by two core attributes – ease of use and technical functionality. Both have their benefits.
