Let’s Talk about the Benefits of Integrating a Chatbot with your Current Tech Stack

While customers can choose to adopt several of our solutions as part of a complete CM.com package, we must point out that this is optional, as our chatbots can be seamlessly integrated with a company's existing tools. Users should consider it an add-on that allows them to improve their online business practices without needing any major restructuring, extra training, or additional post-integration costs.

Let's look at just some areas where CM.com chatbots can be easily integrated to provide a wide range of benefits to you and your eCommerce business.

Allow Customers to Get in Touch With You Straight Away

Integrating a chatbot into any channel, be it your company’s website or your WhatsApp Business Platform, means that customers can immediately contact you as they browse your products and services. The chatbot guides consumers through the buying process, helping them with their product search from when they arrive until it's time to checkout.

Research has shown that 68% of adults are more likely to buy from a business that they can message directly, so providing your customers with a quick, automated, and efficient way to navigate their way through your website has enormous potential when it comes to driving sales. CM.com chatbots can be integrated into as many channels as you like to streamline and improve customer interaction.

Integrate Chatbots Into Your eCommerce Platforms to Bring the Right Products to the Right People

CM.com chatbots can be integrated with eCommerce platforms, such as Magento or Shopify, and CRM software, such as Salesforce, to ensure personalized conversations for new and returning customers. By connecting data, growing brands can personalize conversations to fit the buying patterns of each consumer and bring their favorite products directly to them, offering discounts and suggested items to those that have made purchases in the past.

Another benefit of chatbots is that they can work with information in real time, like stock levels, meaning that customers are always given accurate information about the availability of products and services. Helping customers with the most up-to-date information makes them feel well looked after and is far more likely to boost a company's sales than traditional communication channels.

With CM.com’s Conversational AI Cloud, integrations are no code or low code. With standardized integrations ready to go, any configuration is possible. It’s truly a plug-and-play set-up.

Continuously Improve Service by Integrating Conversational AI and Customer Service Software

Integrating your conversational AI platform with contact center software lets you combine customer and agent data. This data can improve your company's customer service operation and boost customer satisfaction. So, how does it work?

We’ll give you an example: let’s say you’re currently using Zendesk. Now imagine connecting a CM.com chatbot to Zendesk that enables you to offer 24/7 support, where the bot takes care of a share of the conversations. Your agents still work in the system they’re familiar with—no need for training.

Meanwhile, the chatbot helps your customers where possible. If human support is needed, the CM.com chatbot will seamlessly hand over the conversation to Zendesk. To do so, it uses both agent and customer data to put users in contact with the agent best equipped to solve your customer’s problems.

Connecting these platforms will get you a whole new pool of data, allowing you (both the human agents and the bot) to give personalized and accurate responses to customers' inquiries. Your chatbot collects real-world data based on customer interactions, and agents can use this data to improve and optimize the answers the bot gives. On top of this, the team can use these insights to help customers better via their software (such as Zendesk). When evaluating conversations, your agents will better understand what consumers are looking for.

This simple yet highly effective integration provides customers with the timely and comprehensive support they need while allowing you to streamline and improve the interactions between you and the people that make your business tick.

Order Management Systems to Keep Your Customers in the Loop

Connecting a bot to your company’s OMS system means that it automatically knows the status of products sent out, allowing them to share such information with customers upon request. Consumers will be able to find out the exact location of their order and will be kept up to speed regarding any delays or complications that may have occurred during the shipping process.

A Where Is My Order (WISMO) chatbot can be easily placed on a company's support page or WhatsApp Business platform to provide customers with quick and informative updates about the status of their orders. Given that "Where is my order?" is one of the most frequently asked questions in eCommerce, a system of automated responses takes a huge amount of strain off of your customer service operations while leaving consumers satisfied with the clear and timely responses that they receive.

Make the Most Out of Your Dashboards to Gain Key Insights Into Customer Behavior and Preferences

Chatbots can tell you all sorts of things about your customers. Imagine having access to real-time insights on customer behavior and preferences that can be used to optimize your business strategy. Conversational AI Cloud provides just that, with a set of over 20 dashboards that offer a treasure trove of useful information on customer interactions. With these dashboards, you can easily monitor metrics such as messages sent and received, recognition rates, and customer questions.

But that's not all, you can also integrate this information with existing data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau to gain even deeper insights. Create a single source of truth about your customers by pooling data from multiple sources. Use these insights into customers’ preferences and behavior to adjust your strategies.

With Conversational AI Cloud, you can make data-driven decisions based on out-of-the-box or end-to-end integrated dashboards, helping you understand your customers better and ultimately boost your business.

Can the Chatbot Be Integrated Into Future Systems?

Customers sometimes need clarification about the adaptability of a chatbot when it comes to future integrations. In other words:

"If we adopt new eCommerce systems in the future, will we be able to integrate the bot as well?"

The answer is an emphatic YES! Any online business looking to migrate its website or eCommerce platform can also migrate the CM.com chatbot simultaneously at absolutely no additional cost or effort from their side. The conversational flow remains the same; only the configuration of the integrations requires a minor change.
