Customer Service Applications


  • Telephony-based Customer Service


  • Video-based Customer Service


  • Video-conferencing Kiosk

Telephony-based Customer Service

Polycom voice solutions help bring services, support, and remote expertise closer to the consumer. Wireless telephony can be used for communication within and between locations and employees, including price lookups, inventory control, product details, multilingual support, technical support, and answers to commonly asked questions. When coupled with alarm notification systems and location-based software, customers have access to the right resource wherever they may be on the property. This results in faster response times and improved customer satisfaction levels. Voice over IP solutions can also be used for inter- and intra-company calling at a fraction of the cost of toll-based analog lines.

Video-based Customer Service

Video conferencing can be key to streamlining a number of customer service processes. For technical support teams, products can be visually inspected remotely (without shipping a product or traveling to a customer location). Furthermore, repair or installation steps can be explained visually. Installers can use mobile video, for example, to talk to remote service technicians, who can demonstrate a product installation or repair. Training of technicians or contractors can be done in a cost-effective, interactive manner with video. In addition, customer service kiosks can be used to bring remote experts or customer service agents directly into the point of sale or point of service. For example, in the event that a store clerk in a retail store is unavailable or instead of having a dedicated product specialist at every store, customers can have live video conversations with a remote expert regarding product information, design consulting, or other services. Experts who speak multiple languages can also be reached to provide further personalized services.

Video-conferencing Kiosk

A unique implementation of video conferencing is the video-conferencing-enabled customer service kiosk. The retail or hotel “video concierge” application provides customers with information through face-to-face, interactive communication with remote personnel. Typically integrated into a call center application, these kiosks enable remote experts to provide local services to customers. For example, in the event that a store clerk or hotel clerk is unavailable or instead of having a dedicated product specialist at every location, customers can have live video conversations with a remote expert regarding product information, reservations, design consulting, or other services. Experts who speak multiple languages can also be reached to provide further personalized services. As a further benefit, video kiosks can display digital signage on their screens when not in use, thereby providing additional advertising and marketing opportunities for a retail store and its suppliers.
