This equates to businesses losing \u00a336bn of turnover to their competition &#8211; every year. Reducing that by 20-30% would have an enormous impact on each individual business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2014 book titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Effortless-Experience-Conquering-Battleground-Customer\/dp\/024100330X\/\" target=\"_blank\" adhocenable=\"false\" rel=\"noopener\">The Effortless Experience<\/a>&#8221; built a compelling case that Customer Service only drives loyalty if it reduces customer effort. It correlated how removing the hassle for customers impacts customer loyalty and ultimately retention positively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Salesforce State of Service report confirmed that a major servicing shift had taken place by 2021. Among the market leaders, customer retention had moved to centre stage. 79% of market leaders felt that customer retention was one of their most important measures, up from 57% in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/09\/state-of-service-tth-blog.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\"> Source: Salesforce State of Service 2nd Edition <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunity presented by this paradigm shift is staggering and applies to those who move faster than their competitors. Digital unlocks a large part of that potential as nowadays, digital, AI and data are a critical part of any business&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you could anticipate late arrivals and estimate the impact. It can be done. Nudge a colleague in a depot to call a customer proactively? No problem. Always know what&#8217;s happening to your customers&#8217; orders and bookings. Definitely possible. What issues in operations impact our reputation and cause disruption? Some do it every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a previous role, over 15 years ago I led a team that built the transport management platform for a top 3, global, freight forwarder. We saw how digital drove major benefits in operations, customer loyalty and subsequently top-and bottom-line growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Digital, of course, drives even more value today &#8211; at a higher pace and much lower cost.<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DPDGroup in the UK for example, has built its premium reputation and strong brand on extraordinary, effortless, customer experiences. It has connected operations, digital technology and data very well and has driven the gradual improvement of its operational effectiveness over the years by removing key bottlenecks and sticking points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/customer-success-stories\/maersk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maersk reduced incoming contacts to its service centre by 20%<\/a> with greater insight into customer queries and problems. The emails per customer order are down to an average of four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it cost more to provide a simpler, more effective and effortless customer experience? Quite the contrary: it removes large amounts of wasted effort and we tend to see those investments break even earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do our most successful customers remove the hassle from their customers&#8217; lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b style=\"color: var(--c-nero); font-family: var(--f-secondary); font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.0012em;\">Market leaders are proactive and engage in real-time and proactively.<\/b> <p>How? By leveraging state-of-the-art tools. For example, proactive comms about delays, texts for consumers, instructions for drivers, and more.Why?

They create a &#8220;single view of the customer&#8221; and give the full team access to it so that everyone (sales, contact centres, depots, drivers, chatbots, etc) is empowered to give consistent answers.Why? Service is more competent, first-call resolution rates are vastly improved and more.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b style=\"color: var(--c-nero); font-family: var(--f-secondary); font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.0012em;\">Market leaders use data to fix problems in operations.<\/b> <p>How? Digital turns every customer touch point into a data point. Analytics and AI highlight where the friction points, bottlenecks and blockers are.Why? It removes systemic issues from operations &#8211; for example, greater insight into problems drove around 20% of contacts at Maersk.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital, Data and Artificial Intelligence are driving tremendous advances across the entire Freight &amp; Logistics ecosystem.
