BalanceCXI Completes Beta Testing Phase of Zacoustic
Zacoustic Operationalizes Net Promoter Score, Customer Satisfaction and First Call Resolution Optimization
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160608006503/en/
BalanceCXI announced today that beta testing of the Zacoustic Customer Experience Management System is complete and it will be available for production in Q4 of this year. Throughout the beta testing period the tool consistently exposed higher value Quality Assurance (QA) and coaching opportunities when compared to control groups and non-Zacoustic users.
Patented Zacoustic provides targeted QA intervention and analytics while optimizing customer experience metrics. Zacoustic converts low customer survey volume into near 100% by calibrating the customer and agent, enabling the agent to serve as a dependable customer proxy. Algorithms then leverage a massive data set to target the highest value coaching and business intelligence. Zacoustic removes randomness from QA and coaching exercises making the entire process analytical with unprecedented impact.
Beta tests were conducted with five US-based Fortune 100 and blue chip companies inside high volume domestic and international contact centers in Europe, Asia and the United States. Companies spanning industries including cable and internet service providers, financial services, commercial satellite services, and video gaming participated.
CEO Tim Lavin said, “User feedback collected from agents, QA, operations leaders and executives on three continents, and data accumulated from the millions of calls analyzed by Zacoustic during beta, culminate in numerous major enhancements.”
Enhancements include improved algorithms which present the highest value calls to QA, mobile agent coaching, post agent-coaching validation which ensures agents are applying learning, and a customizable platform integrating the client’s native QA and coaching process.
Dan Pearce, Executive Chairman, said, “We are encouraged by the results of the beta and excited to bring Zacoustic into production later this year. We are committed to the same goals as our clients – reduction of repeat calls, enhanced customer experience and improved customer churn rates and revenues. We believe Zacoustic answers the call for a logical solution to operationalize the most important customer experience metrics.”
