There’s the old saying, “a little knowledge goes a long way.” This couldn’t be more apt when it comes to leveraging appointment setting data for insights and fore-knowledge leading to better service and more efficient staffing. The benefits of being able to predict your customer engagements open up the potential for better supply and demand opportunities leading to revenue growth. They also provide an opportunity for creativity around how to improve customer experiences with offerings that align directly to their desires. Can you imagine what your bank branches could do with accurate forecasting and benchmarking?
Well, it’s not impossible. With machine and AI-driven forecasting based on customer flow data, you can gain this knowledge. Financial institutions across the world are using advanced appointment setting technology and analytics tools to access insight on clients to create a tailored VIP experience.
How does it work?
Wavetec uses machine learning and AI-driven forecasting to predict peak times for tellers and customer service agents based on customer flow data. Real-time valuable insights are then consumed in dashboards that are used by operations teams to not only effectively manage staffing at multiple branches concurrently but are also used in strategic planning and scenario analysis.
Customer flow data helps you understand what your customer’s needs are, giving you the power to match supply with demand.
You can use customer flow data for adaptable approaches to resourcing which in turn leads to increased revenue opportunities. Banks that deploy appointment setting technologies integrated into the workflow management system or ERP gain a competitive edge with the ability to both personalize the customer experience while increasing efficiency.
Using appointment setting technology combined with data analytics, many banks have seen reductions in operating costs by as much as 5%. Banorte – one of the largest banks in Mexico – used a solution that was customized according to its service model. The bank deployed appointment setting technologies across its 1000+ branches enabling it to seamlessly manage its customer flow, reduce customer waiting times, and optimize employee productivity.
