How can your Operations navigate the choppy waters of Customer Service? Budget restraints, demanding customer requirements and the CS agent force will all need to be perfectly balanced to establish a loyal community of customers and a seamless CS experience.

There is a lot to offer in terms of automation, but how do you choose what is right for the company? What actions can you take to make sure that AI provides you with valuable insights and efficiencies? How do you keep your agents engaged and turn them into brand ambassadors?

PVH Amsterdam Senior Manager Customer Service E-commerce

I have been working in Customer Service for more than 20 years, focused on E-commerce and FMCG for European markets. My passion lies in improving business processes for CS and fulfilment, while enhancing the customer experience and driving website conversion. I look for innovative self-service solutions for the customers and digital tools to reward and incentivize loyal customers. For me, the perfect Customer Service operation is a balance between automatizing the first line questions, while freeing up agents for personal contact and product related interactions.
