Enhance customer experience with ServiceNow® CSM

Maximize your customer experience and enhance employee satisfaction with ServiceNow Customer Service Management (CSM).

The quintessential lifeline of a successful organization is its customer service. From resolving complaints to processing orders, keeping customers and customer service representatives satisfied is worth the time and investment. After all, businesses need customers, so it’s critical to put workflows in place that help meet customer needs.

Given the impact customer experience (CX) can have on retaining customers and employees, many organizations are turning to ServiceNow CSM for workflow optimization.

Strengthen customer and employee satisfaction with ServiceNow CSM and guidance from Crowe.

How can enhanced CX lead to better business?

Prioritizing CX requires consistency. From a customer’s initial interaction with support staff to the resources and frequently asked questions (FAQ) provided online, each touchpoint should be an authentic reflection of the organization – regardless of which agents or assets the customer reaches. Prioritizing a positive, cohesive experience can help cement repeat business and give an organization a critical competitive advantage.

Consistency is equally as important for empowering customer support staff. Each complaint should have a focused workflow that guides agents to a quick and painless resolution. Answers should be accessible and easy to find. Cross-departmental communication should be seamless and help agents respond to questions faster. Providing guided, automated templates for agents helps deliver a consistent, strategic experience for customers while reducing onboarding time and turnover for staff.

Nearly two-thirds of chief information officers say that enhancing the employee digital experience results in better CX.1

When paired with the right implementation support, ServiceNow CSM is primed to help organizations resolve complaints faster, strengthen customer relationships, increase operational visibility, and provide process enhancements that boost efficiency and improve CX overall.

How does optimized CSM support technology leaders?

ServiceNow CSM uses business intelligence to help automate and optimize operations and support technology leaders on their journeys to achieve better CX.

With a strategic approach, organizations can use the ServiceNow platform to reinvent their processes to support employees and improve CX.

Increased automation

Increased automation
