ICMI awards Local Measure for Engange
The International Customer Management Institute Global Contact Center Awards takes place annually, acknowledging key players in the contact center industry around the world.
The event highlighted innovation in customer service excellence, strategic accomplishments and adaptability, particularly due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Winners were announced during Customer Service Week in front of a virtual audience to coincide with ICMI’s Contact Center Expo: A Digital Experience on 6th and 7th October 2021.
As customers become more demanding, the pressure on businesses to deliver an exceptional customer experience is only set to increase. Therefore, businesses that enable customers to contact them through their chosen channels will be the ones that win hearts and minds.
Local Measure’s Engage platform is an omnichannel cloud contact center solution that seeks to optimise agent productivity and customer service excellence seamlessly.
Built on top of Amazon Connect, the Engage platform allows contact centers to manage incoming customer calls and direct messages across multiple platforms including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Twitter Direct Messages, SMS and email via a single inbox.
The Engage platform facilitates businesses of all sizes and industries to overcome the challenges of legacy data storage and outdated technology in the transition to remote working.
The proprietary solution is easy-to-use, cost-effective and increases the efficiency of contact center agents so that they can better serve customers and create the much craved satisfaction.
Local Measure uses AI and machine learning to streamline and centralise data across customer touch points, allowing businesses to offer personalised customer experiences in-real time.
Local Measure’s customers are seeing positive business transformation due to Engage.
For example, Are Media, one of Local Measure’s customers has reported a 40% reduction in implementation costs and a 75% acceleration in training time for agents.
