Creating richer customer experiences with voice applications

Voice technology is one of the key technologies shaping the business landscape today. It is one of the latest computer interfaces that engenders new forms of technology that provide convenience to customers.

For instance, Alexa, the virtual personal assistant developed by Amazon, can shop, plan a vacation, and even donate to a charity, among a thousand other tasks given to it. It is activated by giving voice commands to a speaker.

In the Philippines, voice search is becoming increasingly popular and is being used for search queries, weather updates, and road navigation.

Aside from making life easier for today’s customers, voice technology can also arm businesses such as BPOs, retailers, and financial companies, among others, with cutting-edge tools to enhance their profitability.

For Filipino entrepreneurs, one use case of the voice solutions enabled by Globe Labs and Nexmo is automated payment reminders to subscribers with outstanding balances. The automated payment reminder can significantly increase call-through rates that match or exceed those of, traditional contact centers. As a result, users can increase collection rates as expenses related to customer support decrease.
