Ever tried contacting an insurance company through an agent or dialed a call center number? Even with best practices in customer experience, insurers are struggling to provide optimum customer service as agents are usually scrambling between multiple systems to find the ideal response to a query. Customer care representatives have their limitations in terms of how quickly they can serve the customer with the expected response. In this digital era, customers expect instant gratification and waiting through lengthy phone prompts is quite irksome. IT managers at leading insurers are now looking at ways to improve their customer experience.
One of the latest transformation technology changing the customer service industry is Chatbots. A chatbot is a program that communicates with the customer, by using a text interface and artificial intelligence. Messaging has emerged as the preferred mode of communication and enterprises are now jumping on this bandwagon to seamlessly handle millions and millions of one-to-one conversations with customers.
Insurance industry is at the forefront of this change in customer interaction. Third-party services like Slack, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp etc. are the new interfaces actively bridging the communication gap that existed between Insurers and their customers. Insurers are focusing on developing intelligent chatbots powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML).
