Customer relationship management (CRM) solutions are among every industry’s leading priority for investment. Current CRM solutions often struggle to keep up with the pace of digitisation, product innovation and big data. Businesses are relying on customer-facing improvements to enhance customer experiences, boost productivity, and differentiate themselves in increasingly competitive markets. A strong CRM capability can help firms achieve a step-change in their ability to:
- Understand customers’ circumstances, needs and preferences
- Align products and services with individuals’ goals
- Engage more closely with customers, including involving them in co-creation
The focus on CRM is driven by a desire to make the best use of AI, and Generative AI (GenAI) in particular. GenAI has significant potential to augment or strengthen customer-facing operations across many sectors – offering next best actions, suggesting customer insights, answering queries, and generating reports.
This means now is the perfect time to adopt a more intelligent CRM system – ideally incorporating the latest developments in AI – that can empower customer-facing staff with insights and decision tools while boosting operational efficiency.
