Top Technology Trends for IBM i Professionals: Part I
Imagine a world where your customers can effortlessly make changes to their orders without the need for a lengthy conversation with a customer service representative. Picture a world where your IBM i applications can intelligently communicate with your customers, understand their needs, and provide personalized solutions. This world is possible through the power of integrating text messaging and artificial intelligence (AI) with your IBM i systems.
Streamlining Customer Interactions
Picture this scenario: a customer receives an order acknowledgment via text message and realizes they must make a few changes. Instead of hunting down their customer number or order details, they can simply reply to the text message with their requested modifications. Seamlessly integrated with your IBM i, your AI-powered system can interpret the customer’s natural language and update their order.
By leveraging text messaging, you can communicate directly with your customers through their registered mobile devices, eliminating the need for time-consuming identity verification processes. Your IBM i applications can generate and send order details, shipping notifications, and other important information straight to your customers’ fingertips. In addition, using text messaging and AI as your communication layer eliminates the need to create entire web or mobile applications, making the process much simpler.
Enhancing the Customer Experience with AI
The integration of AI takes this customer interaction to the next level. Your AI-powered system can analyze customer data, purchase history, and preferences to provide personalized recommendations and offers. For instance, if a customer’s order falls just short of qualifying for free shipping, your AI can suggest additional items that the customer frequently purchases, incentivizing them to increase their order value.
These AI-driven conversations can be as sophisticated as you desire. You can train your AI to understand complex requests, provide detailed product information, and even handle customer complaints with empathy and efficiency. By automating these interactions, you reduce the workload on your customer service team and provide a faster, more convenient experience for your customers.
