Reduce pressure on the customer contact center

Customer contact centers (CCC) are flooded with questions, often recurring questions. The only way to lower the pressure is to be able to answer frequently asked questions more quickly, or ideally, to be ahead without the intervention of the KCC. With SelfGuide, the KCC finally gets air and leaves time for complex issues.

Make sure each user knows what to do

For users such as customers, clients, patients, tenants or citizens, a lot is changing in the digital world. For services, it is important that users make good use of new processes, systems and digital environments. That's why it's crucial to be as ahead of questions as possible and to enable users to save themselves without KCC intervention.

The power of SelfGuide for Customer Support

Using SelfGuide offers many different benefits.

Customer-specific

Develop material that is exactly in line with the service, so that you can support faster and better.

Central

There is one clear source of truth that specifies how actions can be performed. Questions are always handled in the same way.

Left shift

Frequently asked questions are answered before they reach the customer contact center.

Time savings

Instead of weeks, creating instructional materials takes a few minutes.

Knowledge Assurance

Users can find important information at all times. For example, they do not always have to consult the KCC.

Fewer errors

By properly recording knowledge, fewer mistakes are made.

Uniform

All instructional material is always in the same format, regardless of creator. This provides guidance, trust and clarity.

How to improve customer support with SelfGuide

1

Create instructions from (frequently asked) questions

Record answers by making instructions. By simply performing an action, SelfGuide automatically creates a clear instruction that shows exactly how something works. Perfect for answering questions. If you create an instruction for each new question, each question only has to be answered once.

2

Integrate instructional materials into your portals

With SelfGuide, you can integrate instructional material exactly where it's needed, within the application itself or into one of your portals. Users always have access to up-to-date, clear explanations, right when it matters. This way, you provide consistent support, reduce the pressure on the KCC, and users can move forward independently and with confidence.

3

Use instructions when answering questions

Does a question still end up with the KCC? Simply refer to existing instructions or create a new one in a few minutes to answer the question immediately. Once created, instructions can be re-used indefinitely, each time the same question comes back. That way, answers stay consistent regardless of who is handling the question and problems are resolved more quickly.

Connect to your ticket system

Connect to your ticket system

Integrate seamlessly with your ITSM or ticket system, making knowledge available where users seek support. Instructions and answers that you record with SelfGuide can be linked directly to tickets, categories, or frequently asked questions in systems such as TOPdesk. These integrations provide a consistent, efficient, and always up to date knowledge base throughout your support process.
