Customer Loyalty Is Crucial For Businesses Implementing CRM Solutions – Can your Customers Serve Them?

0

In the highly connected digital age today, customers are constantly on the lookout for instant solutions for their basic problems. These are spur-of-the-moment attempts of millennials and other such tech-savvy clients, who do not consider contacting a business provider repeatedly to get day to day issues resolved. This saves them from explaining the issues over and over on call, as well as helps save business-critical time.

Yet, as a customer relationship management service user, a business has go by the thumb rule of “online self-service”. Most businesses have begun to cling to this catchphrase so as to tag online self-service as a crucial medium of high convenience. It is no longer a strategic asset for business owners, who are looking more towards online reputation management, customer sentiment analysis and more goodwill today.

How to render self-service support to churn customer loyalty?

Fortunately, Salesforce helps you reimagine a customer portal. Through the implementation of Service Cloud Lightning and Service Cloud, customers will stay seamlessly connected to their app and product. They will also be able to access answers to their queries 24×7 from any part of the globe, without connecting with agents via long-drawn calls. The Salesforce powered Service Cloud is a model self-service community in this regard. Besides, it is also a very easy-to-use and economically fantastic option.

How will an online self-service portal win customer loyalty for business owners?

It basically renders a “One Brand, One Experience” according to CRM giant Salesforce. This is because it helps a customer create a community from scratch as well as leverage bespoke community templates within a community builder tool. This interface can help a business create a vivacious, as well as a fully branded community overnight! Besides, just one self-service portal is accessible from a single IP address (help by a mobile device, tablet, or computer).

Ready access to answers is another feature which resolves customer questions for the impatient lot! It also helps a business assist its customer in setting up communities throughout the web. On the other hand, a member gets to review knowledge articles alongside community posts which are topic relevant. This is also a good way to connect with peer experts as well as vote for the answers that are creme de la creme.

Such a customer engagement platform allows businesses to also reward member participation for it is always backed by Service Clouds that setup workflow rules. Moreover, agents are automatically notified so as to respond in a community impeccably.

Last but not the least, it saves time and reduces costs: Being a part of a customer community, one can render the clientele with resource supports, which frees up time business critical time of service agents. So the business house gets to concentrate better on core functions and other impactful issues. In the ends, time is saved and better results are achieved at lesser costs, which churn out more revenue and also guarantees happier agents!

This, in the end, boosts customer loyalty and repeat business.

Hence, by now it is clear that meeting customer needs is a critical component of any business. This is possible only through an online self-service platform powered by industry stalwart like Salesforce. Such a tool is tailored to meet client specific needs as well as helps resolve most issues via a robust platform. This gives room to the clients to start trusting a business as the optimum place for issue resolution.

  1. Open Task field.
  2. Closed Task field.

Apex Trigger code –

trigger countOpenAndClosedTask on Task (after insert, after undelete, after delete, after update) {    
    Set<Id> setOpenTaskAccountIds = new Set<Id>();
    Set<Id> setClosedTaskAccountIds = new Set<Id>();
    List<Account> listAccountUpdate = new List<Account>();
    List<Account> listOpenTaskAccounts = new List<Account>();
    List<Account> listClosedTaskAccounts = new List<Account>();
    if(Trigger.IsAfter){

The data exist within Salesforce, it may be a comparatively easier task, by developing a visualforce page, which can accept arguments in querystring and generate PDF by retrieving data via Apex controller.

Getting the Work Done using RPA

Robust Process Automation Technology possess the ability to speed up routine digital tasks using automation which are otherwise performed by humans. RPA definitely covers everything ranging from tools that have been around for a decade to the skills of ever-growing Artificial Intelligence.

Need for RPA:Generally, a lot of people are appointed to copy data manually from one system to another. The whole work involves clicking on data from multiple systems and putting it into another. To avoid this unwanted nonsense, there arrived a need for RPA (Robust Process Automation).

To define in simpler words, RPA (Robust Process Automation) is a software that automates another software in a C-Suite or a company boardroom. This emerging technology promises to improve efficiency, productivity as well as save money. It entirely replaces the manual and error-prone routine of digital processing jobs at many enterprises.    

The software robots of RPA interact with computer systems with the help of minimum-code based programming. To sum it up, RPA is a good fit for cost-effective automation tasks.

RPA Platforms assures that their lightweight tools will automate and disrupt work across every department. A study released in 2013 approximated that “As many as 140 million knowledge workers are to be replaced by 2025 through the use of RPA and its automation”.

Importance of IT:IT must aid companies to understand what could be automated with RPA. IT needs to monitor the bots, provision the servers, handle security issues and make sure the solutions are well-designed.

People trained in RPA can acquire positions of:

Robust Process Automation Designer

Robust Process Automation Developer

Process Analyst

RPA journey is not about eliminating jobs but freeing up people for more valuable work. It is all about creating more space for people to concentrate on the more important job.

What to Expect from Marc Benioff’s Keynote at Dreamforce 2018

Dreamforce has grown tremendously since its inception. It started in 2003 with around 1,000 attendees. At its 16th edition in 2018, more than 180,000 trailblazers are expected to turn up, making Dreamforce the world’s biggest tech event.

At Dreamforce ‘18, Marc Benioff will talk about his company’s future and unveil the important developments that have taken place in the Salesforce ecosystem since Dreamforce ‘17. He might be accompanied by Salesforce co-CEO, Keith Block, and the two of them will recount Salesforce’s history and explain their company’s impact on job creation in the communities where they serve. The talk will also touch upon other areas, including:

How Salesforce Enables Customer Success

This should not surprise anyone. You will hear plenty of facts-based stories of how Salesforce helps brands penetrate new markets, build a reputation, and garner more clients.

AI Coming to myIoT

Salesforce launched myIoT last year. At Dreamforce ‘18, Marc and Keith are expected to announce some of the features that myIoT has acquired during the past 12 months. Although industry watchers expect the emphasis to be on AI, the level of integration might surprise everyone.

An Expanding Marketing Cloud

Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud journey began with its acquisition of Demandware. Then Google Analytics 360 was brought on board and Datorama was bought as if to announce that Salesforce was serious about developing Marketing Cloud. At Dreamforce ‘18, you can look forward to more such strategic acquisitions and partnerships might be announced.

An Emerging Integration Cloud

After acquiring Mulesoft earlier this year, Salesforce added Integration Cloud to its repertoire. Because Integration Cloud is widely touted as a “revolutionary technology”, Marc and Keith are going to spend a lot of time talking about it.

Attention on Nonprofits

Salesforce is widely hailed as a socially-conscious company. It is one of the few tech giants to actually develop enterprise-grade discounted products for nonprofits. Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud might get a dose of AI this Dreamforce. Nonprofits will want to know how the updated Salesforce.org will help nonprofits make the world a better place.

Inclusion of Blockchain Technology

Salesforce acts like a hungry beast when it comes to acquiring new technologies. Earlier this year came the news that Salesforce was developing a product based on blockchain technology. Some exciting announcements await you at Dreamforce ‘18 if you are enthusiastic about blockchain.

Let the Public Climb to the Ohana Floor

The 47th floor of the Salesforce building might be opened to the public during Dreamforce ‘18.

“This is a hospitality floor, this is an event floor, this is a floor where our employees can come and collaborate but you’ll also see volunteer activities and town halls and we’re also opening this Ohana floor for non-profits to use for free on weeknights and weekends,” said Elizabeth Pinkham, EVP, Global Real Estate, Salesforce.

Surprises!!!

We have been attending Dreamforce for several years. What we have suggested in this blog is a result of that experience and working closely with actual Salesforce users. You might expect a lot, if not all, the predictions to come true. What we have not covered will most likely deliver a pleasant surprise to you and the other attendees.

How IOT and Big Data Are Driving Smart Traffic Management and Smart Cities

0

A Smart City is the one in which citizens live a smart and well-organized urban life with the help of information and communication technology (ICT) while maintaining sustainability and causing least harm to the environment. In details, means living smartly in a city which is planned smartly infrastructure-wise and where urban services are efficient and citizens can easily interact with the local bodies thus, playing a larger role in the city’s management.

Smart City is a place where all the city’s systems like water management, waste management, healthcare, policing & governance, smart buildings, education, energy, etc. are managed in an optimal fashion that benefit the citizens, government and also the nature. Reduction in cost and resource consumption is integral to the ideal Smart City plan. And, all this is impossible without this offshoot of ICT – the IOT technology that can offer governing bodies with real-time solutions for above mentioned current urban challenges.

What is IOT

Internet of Things or IOT is basically a network of interconnected devices like sensors and smart devices that pass on information to each other and a supreme console via the internet. It is a way in which we interact with our belongings. All these devices generate data that is so humongous in amount that it will need hi-tech cloud applications to store, process and mine. This process is conducted by Big Data Analytics. Any smart city project will use big data to capture, store, process and analyze a large amount of data generated by several sources and to transform the data into useful knowledge that enables better decision-making process.

How Big Data and IoT are being used in Traffic Management

Traffic management is one of the biggest infrastructure hurdles faced by developing countries today. Developed countries and smart cities are already using IOT and Big Data to their advantage to minimize issues related to traffic. The culture of the car has been cultivated speedily among people in all types of nations. In a common scenario in most of the cities, people prefer riding their own vehicles no matter how good or bad the public transportation is or considering how much time and money is it going to take for them to reach a particular destination.

Thus, increase in use of cars has caused immense amount of traffic congestion. Several countries are overcoming this traffic bottleneck by fetching information from CCTV feeds and transmitting vehicle related data to city traffic management centers to help in the smooth traffic run. Better-organized traffic system means better flow of vehicles on the road and it means no idling cars, buses and trucks in traffic jams. All this eventually translates to lower run times, proper utilization of natural resources (gas) and less pollution. Emittance of gases is the largest during stop-start driving that happens in spots where traffic is regulated by lights. Hence, if you go for smart traffic, this helps in pollution reduction throughout the entire city.

However, smart traffic management also involves other factors like smart parking sensors, smart streetlights, smart highways and smart accident assistance amongst other things.

Traffic lights

Traffic lights that use real time data feed are being used to smooth traffic load. Sensors mounted at strategic places can use IOT technology to gather data about high traffic junctions and areas diverting vehicles from these places. Big Data can analyze this information further and figure out alternative routes as well as better traffic signaling to ease congestion. Meanwhile road-side lights can also work according to weather sensors mounted on them. Dimming of light happens not only as a part of day-night process but also when weather conditions turn murky. Roadside light sensors can pick up these signals and turn on and off accordingly.

Smart Parking

Parking has become an Achilles heel in the urban planning scenario. Lack of parking spaces as well as parallel parking has heightened traffic snarls at important junctions in cities. IOT-based sensors in parking lots can give out real time information of empty spots to cars approaching from a long distance looking for a parking space. Such sensors have already been installed in European cities like Paris, France as well as Kansas in US. They have all seen remarkable results with a double digit percentage reduction in parking issues observed in a span of a year.

Smart Assistance

Road accidents have been one of the top causes of deaths across the world. However, what adds to this gloomy number is untimely help and assistance to victims of such accidents. CCTVs and sensors on roads can help in locating accident spots and communicating these to the nearest Emergency Rooms. Once this communication is established in time, all else can be better handles. 

Challenges

All pros become more quantifiable with cons. While IOT and Big Data present a path-breaking opportunity in Smart Traffic Management and Solutions, they also have some limitations. Firstly, current cities already suffer from infrastructure issues like road planning, zoning and other construction-related issues which could pose problems when implementing IOT technology.

Secondly, all these fancy hi-tech solutions need high-speed data transfer techniques and thus, can work only in cities with great internet connectivity. If for any reason this connectivity is hampered the entire Smart City could fall apart.

Thirdly, more number of devices accessing the central network means more opportunities for hackers to conduct their malicious tasks. An added layer of security apart from the usual one, and another one top of that will be needed to make an impenetrable hack-proof smart traffic solution. Data privacy will also have to be maintained looping in lawmakers and engineers.

 Conclusion

Traffic is a crucial aspect that determines a city’s livability factor and efficiency status. Population surge will stop mattering if data and sensors are used capably to manage traffic. As smart cities evolve and increase in number in the coming years, IOT and Big Data will play a key role in the development and integration of their services and infrastructure. With passing time, other issues besides traffic like waste management, energy conservation, etc. will greatly benefit from the concept of IOT and Big Data.
