Key features of HGS Agent X

1. Omnichannel Support – If a customer has to or wants to switch from one communication channel to another, they should be able to do so with ease without breaking the context of the communication. Omnichannel customer communication enables customers to have a wide range of options when they need to reach out to a business. This includes social media, emails, live chats, calls, and websites. HGS Agent X delivers omnichannel support from a single platform.

2. Intelligent Automation – Automating the tasks or processes that can be automated reduces the workload on the agents significantly. Intelligent automation, one of the key features of HGS Agent X, leverages Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automate workflow, tasks, agent training, quality, and reporting.

Agents can submit details in one location so that the technology can make all the updates for them. Smart actions like these reduce agent cognitive load and reduce the average handling time. As a result, customers receive faster resolution and the need for repeat calls is less.

3. Cloud Infrastructure – Having a cloud-based contact center software enables easy management from anywhere as well as the flexibility to scale and meet both immediate and evolving business requirements. The flexibility allows for a consistent experience.

4. Customer 360 View – One of the biggest frustrations for any customer is having to repeatedly share the same issue across multiple channels with different customer service representatives. HGS Agent X solves this issue with its simple and easy-to-understand customer 360 view that provides agents with all the necessary details in one place and helps them to resolve a customer’s query without troubling them for the same information. It streamlines the agent workflow and collaboration and customer interactions.

5. Real-time AI-powered Agent Assist – The AI-powered Agent Assist and automation tools in HGS Agent X help the agents at the contact center automate all repetitive tasks and improve their efficiency and experience. Details such as product or service information, customer sentiment, demographic, status, etc., are readily available to the agents so that they can offer tailored solutions to the customers. In the process, the agent handling time becomes much lower through these real-time AI-driven suggestions integrated with contextual and behavioral information.

6. Intelligent Voice Assistant (IVA) –IVAs aid agents in cross-selling and upselling to potential prospects through recommendations. A variety of automated operations, such as balance verification, order placements, and responses to initial inquiries, are performed using chatbots and virtual agents with AI capabilities.

7. Smart Consult via Screen Share – The two-way Smart Consult co-browsing and screen sharing functionality of the HGS Agent X is a great visual tool to troubleshoot collaboratively with customers. This allows agents to have a better understanding of the customers’ issues and quickly provide them with the appropriate resolution.

8. AI-based Real-time Sentiment and Customer Insights – To have a more effective and meaningful conversation with their customer, brands consider the customer’s history, pick up on nonverbal cues and tone of voice, and have an implied understanding of the customer’s goals by allowing technology to supplement real-time insights. HGS Agent X facilitates this and helps deliver a memorable and positive customer experience.

9. Analytics and Insights for Quality Assurance – Defining and automating the tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs) is critical to the success of a contact center. Tapping into the insights obtained from analytics ensures top-notch CX on a consistent basis. HGS Agent X’s ready-to-use analytics dashboards monitor performances at an agent level, team lead level, and organization level. The dashboards are updated in real-time, thereby improving operational efficiency, quality, and workforce management.

10. Smart Agent Knowledge Base – Regular agent training is an effective way to get them well-prepared for handling all kinds of customer issues. HGS Agent X’s smart knowledge management capabilities take it a step further through its distribution of business-critical information among agents in real-time, enabling quick agent training and onboarding.

Self-learning is also easy with the interactive Knowledge Base and Ask Colleague features.
