Live chat for B2C Service

Help agents better serve customers through proactive, digital-first customer service experiences based on their previous activity. Improve your conversion rates and increase customer loyalty.

Live chat for Oracle B2C Service makes it easy for agents to provide customers with immediate, live support. With one click, they can connect to a live agent to resolve their service needs—from checking on shipping status to initiating a return or asking a series of questions before making a purchase.

Customers expect chat tools to reflect their experiences with their consumer-oriented apps. They want to simultaneously communicate with customer service agents and browse a company’s website. They want to maintain agent interactions if forced to reestablish a lost connection and be able to view a history of past conversations.

Live chat makes all this possible, giving agents the ability to provide real-time support to customers with built-in functionalities, such as file attachments, and video chat (PDF). This digital-first approach to customer service lets you provide proactive, personalized customer experiences, improving agent productivity and resolution rates.

Live chat for Oracle B2C Service provides the following live chat capabilities:

• Real-time chat. Enhances the digital customer experience through real-time communication between agents and customers. Embed chat widgets on every page of your website to offer help anywhere along the customer’s journey.
• Proactive chat. Proactively send chat invitations according to built-in rules, such as the length of time a customer has spent on a web page, agent availability, and estimated queue wait time. Use Oracle Engagement Engine to extend this capability further and create custom rules based on specific conditions, digital behavior, or events, such as the number of items in a shopping cart, click activity on high-value products, or inactivity.
• Mobile chat. Customers can also chat from their phones, tablets, and other devices.
• Integrated knowledgebase. By integrating your knowledgebase with your digital assistant, you can highlight relevant information for customers. While they wait to connect to an agent, the smart assistant can send agents the top five relevant answers based on the customer’s inquiry. Agents can then quickly send helpful answers to customers, right in the live chat window with one click.
• Automatic reconnection. No more starting over with a new service agent if disconnected. If a customer loses connection during a chat, they will automatically reconnect to the same agent at the exact point the chat left off. No information from their chat will be lost.
• Chat wait-time updates. Customers can easily see—in real time—their place in the queue, the average wait time for the queue, and their expected remaining wait time.
• Feedback for chat. Continuously improve your live chat experience with automatic surveys following chat sessions that give customers the opportunity to provide immediate feedback.
• File attachments. Customers can send file attachments to service agents during chat sessions to provide additional information. Attachments are automatically stored within the chat transcript of the customer’s incident record. Agents can easily send files to a customer with one click to get customers the answers they need in real time.
• PCI compliance. Customers can send sensitive data, such as their Social Security or credit card numbers, in an off-the-record format that will not be stored in the chat transcript.
