Connect to your customers digitally with Smartflex

Providing an outstanding customer experience is essential for service providers who wish to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive environment and distinguish themselves through a customer-centric business model. To achieve these goals, they need modern tools which support effective digital interactions and the creation of strong customer relationships.

The emergence of digital tools has impacted all areas of human life and the way customers interact with their service provider is no exception. While companies used to focus primarily on their call centers, they are now looking for tools that allow customers to manage themselves and communicate through a range of digital channels. Similarly, customer service representatives need digital tools which allow them to efficiently manage customers whenever they get in touch. The Smartflex portfolio is designed to solve these challenges and support service providers in their journey to provide superior customer experience, improve customer service KPIs, and become truly customer-centric businesses.

Self-service Portal

Companies that provide robust self-service portals empower their clients with 24/7 access to all the information they need about their account. Through an engaging and user-friendly interface, the Smartflex self-service portal allows customers to view graphical representations of their usage, make payments, apply for services, enroll in incentive programs, and manage budget-based billing schemes. Furthermore, clients can personalize their experience with options such as paperless billing, automatic invoice payment, and the ability to change languages.

To ensure excellent customer experience, the Smartflex Self-service Portal features an integrated chat feature which allows customers to have personal assistance straight away. This combination of self-service and personal chat support costs less than a traditional customer service center and provides a better overall experience. Live chat is currently the most desired communication channel for new generations and yields satisfaction levels of over 70%, higher than other communication methods such as email, apps, and social media¹.

Due to the growing concern for the environment, customers are increasingly engaging in active decision-making about their usage. To make these decisions effectively, they need to have current information at their fingertips, which couldn’t be easier thanks to the native integration of Smartflex’s self-service portal with its advanced CIS². Additionally, this integration allows utilities to quickly and effectively notify customers about interruptions, outages, programs, promotions, and company news.

Smartflex also provides companies with detailed usage statistics about the self-service portal, allowing them to stay on top of customer needs and continually update the experience through the portal configuration tools.
