Influenced by technology and increasingly fast-paced changes in lifestyle trends, consumers are constantly evolving. And they expect the brands they purchase and the stores they shop from to keep pace with their changing preferences.

In retail, the organizations that constantly reinvent themselves stay one step ahead. Using the latest technology, from chatbots to augmented reality, helps retail brands engage with and delight their audience, driving loyalty. A deep understanding of the customer and a 360-degree view of their journey is essential to meet customer expectations in the moments that matter.

  • Leaderboards and digital badges encourage agent engagement

  • In-platform challenges create friendly competition among agents, driving adherence to KPIs
The results
  • 10% reduction in average handle time (AHT)
  • 5% improvement in customer satisfaction (CSAT)

  • 5% improvement in compliance

The Startek® solution
  • Leveraged Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to perform initial triage on claims received
