Analytics uses raw data and math to discover, interpret, and communicate significant data patterns. When used correctly, data analytics can help answer business questions, predict outcomes, and create actionable insights.
Why is data analytics a must-have feature for all businesses?
An analytics overview is an invaluable part of your software for customer service management. It can help you pinpoint the exact areas of your business that need improvement. Finding “laggards” and areas that could be optimized is always great because it presents an opportunity to:
- Improve your agent’s performance
- Provide additional training to those that need it
- Improve customer satisfaction, experience, and sales
- Reallocate resources
- Reinforce support channels
- Find more cost-effective ways to solve problems
In addition to that, an analytics overview can also showcase areas of your business that are thriving. This is important because:
- You won’t have to overhaul your whole business/support strategy
- You’ll be able to reward overachievers
- Underperformers will be able to learn from overachievers
