Connect the customer journey – Give them a personalised experience which will earn you loyal and repeat customers.
As retail customers make a dash to digital, channels like social media, web chat and chatbots have never been more important – but for many, the retail Contact Centre isn’t evolving fast enough and customer expectations aren’t being met. Why? Siloed and unintegrated digital channels. All frustrations IPI can mitigate.
We can help you to harness the power of AI, enhancing your operations and transforming your customer experience.
How we can help you to optimise your retail Contact Centre
Retail organisations across the UK look to us to implement personalised, omnichannel strategies while overcoming the challenges of disparate IT systems and out-of-date processes.

Come and speak to us at Stand 4B58 to find out how we add value to every part of the digital transformation journey! Alternatively, you can book a chat with us at the show at a time that suits you best.
Use AI to do more with less
Retailers are on a path where using AI is slowly going from being a choice to being a necessity if they want to stay in the game and keep up with consumers. Boost customer satisfaction with AI-powered tools like chatbots and virtual assistants to engage with customers in real-time, provide 24/7 support and offer personalised recommendations.
Assess the opportunities for AI in your operations at IPI’s AI Cafe.
Cohesive customer journey
Fixing the issue of waning brand loyalty starts with understanding customer expectations and their journey with you. We help retailers to create data-driven strategies that deliver customer value through personalised interactions at different stages of their journey.
Happy agents = happy customers
Invest in understanding your customers better
Technology such as AI can help to deliver such personalisation at scale – however its full benefits will only be realised if a retailer’s data is in order. Gathering meaningful customer insights is key to successful implementation here, which means compiling high quality feedback from customer conversations across every channel to gather a comprehensive view of the customer.
Delivering ‘good outcomes’ is no longer optional
Getting data in order and understanding customers better will always stand retailers in good stead, but it’s no longer an option. We can help you meet evolving regulations and customer expectations by delivering consistent, personalised and friction-less experiences
