Customer service is a critical aspect of any business, and first-level CS is often the first point of contact for customers. In the contemporary world, customers can now obtain services in a variety of ways. In the past, the only options for customers were rotary phones and call centres.

However, today’s consumers demand a wide range of options for answering their questions and seeking information. Customers of today want excellent CS delivered 24/7 via the most practical channel.

Customers have grown so accustomed to this that if they are required to use an automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, send lengthy emails, or interact with a poorly designed chatbot, they are more likely to give up on a request or even the business itself.

As a result, in order to survive and prosper in the industry, businesses must adjust to such developments.

RPA in Customer Service

It refers specifically to the use of RPA technology in the customer service industry. This can involve installing voice assistants, automating call centre procedures, setting up chatbots to assist clients, and many other things. Certain client encounters can be automated with RPA. It gives agents more time to focus on important customer contacts while providing quicker answers.
