BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Zappix, the innovative smartphone Visual IVR provider, announced today that its robust software suite platform now provides a Zappix API Tool Kit for integrating with traditional and third-party voice IVRs to deliver a better, smoother user experience.
The new Zappix API Tool Kit allows companies with traditional voice contact center systems to easily create a scalable, fully integrated visual IVR that dynamically pulls or pushes information between the visual and voice IVRs as needed. At the same time, without the need for expensive upgrades, a user's smartphone will show the status of a call - including wait time, place in queue and more.
Zappix has designed this API Tool Kit for companies operating in fast-paced environments where there is a critical need to integrate, find, update, and create records quickly. As part of the overall Zappix Visual IVRSolution, it provides streamlined programmatic access that extends and enhances the capabilities of a traditional IVR system to meet business needs.
"In a recent study, 77% of consumers said that valuing their time is the most important thing a company can do to provide good service," says Zappix Chairman, Avner Schneur. "Consequently, it's more important than ever to give consumers engaging choices for customer service interaction on their smartphones. We built the Zappix API Tool Kit platform to allow companies with existing IVR systems to communicate easily with the Zappix Solution and capitalize on its strength without compromising their existing in-place programs. By providing new communications paths and other capabilities such as a call status screen on smartphones, the Zappix Solution lets clients offer their customers better access to live or self-service voice and non-voice channels that increase user satisfaction and a company's Net Promoter Score (NPS)."
Easy-to-use, the Zappix Visual-IVR platform for smartphones, with its Omni Channel user experience, places capability and convenience at the customer's fingertips. The ability to quickly explore different contact center customer service communication channels and immediately retrieve answers dramatically enhances the user experience. In addition to improving customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score (NPS) results, the Zappix Solution has proven effective in reducing direct and indirect call center costs.
Zappix has earned its reputation as an exceptionally flexible Visual IVR app by , integrating voice and non-voice visual content with phone (voice), web, live chat, mobile online forms, and multi-media (audio or video) customer service channels as well as self-help resources. Companies using this platform can realize significant reductions in app development costs while giving service-seeking customers exactly what they want and need-- better agent interactions driven by automation, self-service, around-the-clock accessibility and enhanced mobile/web convenience.
