Flowcharts represent a diagrammatic manifestation of a planned sequence of events and processes. These diagrams can be used to design, operate, modify, and troubleshoot various processes in science, engineering, technology, product design, business, and commerce. The use of modern digital technologies empowers flowchart designers to create diagrams of incredible complexity to describe modern processes. Flowcharts can also be used to plan and operate customer service processes in the modern world. Brands and businesses can use these digital diagrams to offer higher levels of customer satisfaction and to boost brand engagement. We shall examine some of the aspects of using a customer service flowchart in the paragraphs below.
Architects and designers of flowcharts can create diagrams specifically to boost levels of modern customer service. One of the primary objectives of such design should manifest in improvements in customer relationship management. We note that such a flowchart should contain within itself different processes that enable brands and businesses to monitor and expand the scope of contacts with individual customers and the different segments of customers. For instance, one of the sub-diagrams can be designed to explicitly deal with customer complaints. This aspect of the customer service flowchart should outline the various steps of escalation in response to the receipt of a customer complaint. This ensures that any brand manager or business analyst is in a position to manage conflicts that may arise within the domain of modern customer care paradigms. The successive stages of this flowchart should enable commercial operators to manage standard business processes without interruptions or delays.
An ideal customer service flowchart must clearly delineate the points of contact between the business organization and its customers. This diagram should outline various customer engagement touch points such as commercial social media handles, business email addresses, toll free telephone numbers, text messaging numbers, contact center information, local heads of business, etc. The intent behind creating this customer service flowchart is to inform the entire business organization of the various points through which a customer can approach the enterprise. This diagram also enables the brand or business to allot clear lines of responsibility in terms of providing an effective response to individual customers. Any additional channels must be updated and reflect clearly in this digital diagram. This flowchart can be reviewed periodically in business meetings to ensure that customers have access to multiple channels of communication with a business enterprise.
The modern business enterprise can use a customer service flowchart that empower and educate business associates, partners, and operators to on-board a new customer. This ability is crucial to commercial enterprises, which operate in hyper-competitive markets and must work to preserve and expand market share. For instance, the customer service flowchart of a commercial telecom services operator can start with the receipt of a customer’s application for a mobile number connection. The flowchart can then assess whether the application is complete in all respects. Once this information is secured, the business can then process the application to meet the customer’s request within a set time. In case of an incomplete application, the business must return the application and request the customer to populate all relevant fields of information. This process can then be replicated in terms of internal processes and thus the flowchart can cover the entire gamut of in-house processes that result in the customer receiving the desired service or product. We note that the efficacy of this customer service flowchart is critical because it maps the complex business inputs and processes for the service provider. It also informs readers and reviewers of various scenarios they may encounter while processing the customer’s application and the appropriate remedial steps.
Payment processing is a critical aspect of the digital transactions that animate the domain of commerce in the modern world. Every brand and business should be clear about processing customer payments. These entities can implement a customer service flowchart or schema that clearly outlines the various stages of processing customer payments. The utility of this effort lies in the fact that it enables all members of the organization to have a unified concept of the task. The various stages of such a flowchart can commence with the receipt of payments from an individual customer, checking if said payment corresponds to the customer’s invoice, recording the receipt in business accounting systems, detecting any discrepancy in payments, issuing refunds in case of excess payment, or requesting customers to issue a complete payment, etc. The customer service flowchart can clearly display these multiple actions. The benefits of such schema includes smooth knowledge transition amongst employees and localized troubleshooting to promote the normal flow of business processes.
Flowcharts can help businesses to find and remedy flaws in customer service paradigms. This ability remains important because modern businesses operate in fluid market situations that may not forgive perceived lapses in customer service. For instance, a manufacturer and marketer of cosmetics and beauty care products may use a flowchart to instruct its service personnel about the importance of seeking customer feedback. The flowchart may delineate the various stages of customer interaction, which offer opportunities to solicit customer feedback. Business operatives such as shop staff and floor managers can use this instruction to step up customer engagement activities, acquire information from customers, gauge the general levels of customer satisfaction, and feed such information to the wider business organization. The flowchart can also motivate said personnel to interact with customers and seek information about their after-sales experience. We note that these flowcharts can be refined over time in a bid to smoothen the customer experience and gain a larger mind share in the market.
Software makers and marketers can use flowcharts to boost customer service levels and isolate the sources of customer dissatisfaction. In case of a negative outcome from a first intervention to a client complaint, the flowchart can direct company operatives to investigate the nature and scope of the complaint. The resulting information can alert the company to potential flaws in a software product or service; this can merit a deeper investigation and may trigger the creation of a workaround solution. In the meantime, the company may possibly detect bugs in the software product and work to remedy such flaws. Once this exercise is complete, the software maker can upgrade the customer’s software product to ensure smooth functioning. This instance clearly illuminates the utility of a flowchart diagram in dealing with customer complaints in the domain of software products and services. We must note the utility extends to alerting the software manufacturer to similar flaws and may trigger a general revision of the computer code that powers its digital products. That said, we recommend that the manufacturer must create similar flowcharts to ensure future software products are crafted with precision and clarity of purpose.
In the preceding paragraphs, we have explored some of the aspects of using flowcharts to re-invent modern customer service paradigms. We note that brands and businesses must leverage the use of these diagrams to boost business efficiency and invest higher levels of value in customer service practices. In addition, business operatives must revise these diagrams with a view to enhance their functionality and include emerging market realities within the scope of these flowcharts.
