In this case, OmniChannel is the best marketing strategy for this new era. Being customer-centric is fundamental to create a positive relationship between companies and customers. Omnichannel offers a seamless sales and service experience throughout an entire consumer journey. This includes through in-stores, website, via phone, and over other online, mobile, and social applications.

For example, a customer can see your advertisement via billboard, browsing your website from a desktop, tablet, or mobile device or downloading your company’s application, calling your office by phone or sending inquiries via email or visit your in-store, making a purchase via in-stores point of sale, phone, agents, website or mobile application. Therefore, OmniChannel is a 360 degrees tool to help companies generate sales while communicating with customers in all contact points.

Nowadays, the world of technology is running into Artificial Intelligence (AI) which business must include this innovative technology in their Omnichannel strategy.

What types of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used for the OmniChannel strategy?

1). Chatbot is a genius technology that realistically simulates how humans speak or text as a conversational partner.

The chatbot is the next future for the company to broadcast its advertisement, announcement, communicate about existing products and new products and also generate human-like conversation to answer all questions and inquiries from customers through the website, mobile application or free public application ex. LINE application on 24 hours, 7days a week.

Chatbot has been designed to be flexible and it could develop more features depending on preference.

2). Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an electronic conversion of scanned images of handwritten, typed, or printed text into a machine-readable, digital data format.

Imagined, you would like to enroll in health insurance with company A via a mobile application, you are ready to register with your personal information and you are typing your personal data. One by one follow question boxes, you answer all the questions, you submit them, but it shows an error you must correct. This consumes time and effort to identify an error. You might get upset and you may try to correct the data once if you still could not go through the process, you might cancel and not buy health insurance with this company again. But if company A has OCR technology, you could capture your personal data by taking a photo of your ID/RP card or passport, OCR will immediately fill print text, photo, and signature into boxes just in 1 second.

OCR eliminates human errors and makes it convenient for your clients.

In conclusion, Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an A-List technology that all businesses must implement on OmniChannel marketing strategy. Partnering with a technology expert to create your own Chatbot and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) will help you generate extra revenue with cost-effectiveness.
