How does it work

Our software solution is automatically evaluating customer and transactional data and helping to increase revenue by predicting the most relevant products or services and up-sell/co-sell opportunities to the individual customers. iERP will help you reduce customer churn by analysing customer behaviour and predicting the probability of customer churn.

The Next best action / Next best offer module uses data from across the business to predict the next best action required to enhance customer satisfaction. The solution can handle more than 200 different parameters including a customer’s consumption, current and historical subscriptions, demographic information, and other inputs. Data, which can also include website visits, incomplete transactions, abandoned baskets, call centre calls and email history, is all handled in real time to predict the products and services to upsell and co-sell that will best meet the customer’s needs.

Use Case 1: Creating More Effective Marketing Campaigns

In this scenario the algorithm is being used to predict the best ways and times to deliver enhanced customer satisfaction.

Predicting: The algorithm identified opportunities to enhance customer satisfaction and revenue by predicting the products that are most relevant to the customer’s interest, allowing the business to promote offers that most closely meet the customers needs.  This is achieved by reviewing up to 200 different parameters such as previous purchases, demographic information and combined with eth customers interaction history online, through call centres and by email.

Resolving: This approach minimises the chances of irritating customers with irrelevant products and services, while providing much better opportunities to generate revenue and add value to each customer relationship. 

Result: Having a granular understanding of customer preferences and interests adds significant value to ERP and CRM systems, allowing the business to integrate data to deliver more targeted and effective personalized campaigns and landing pages. In turn this delivers a better response to marketing campaigns and delivers a higher ROI.

Personalised Marketing Dramatically Improves Sales Conversion

It is an established fact that email marketing delivers conversion rates between 0.2% and 2%. In simple terms that means that emailing 1m people will deliver 2,000 new customers, up-sale or co-sale business. By personalising emails using the level of intelligence that our platform delivers, means that conversion improves by 300% to 600%, delivering up to 60,000 new customers, up-sale or co-sale business!

Use Case 2: Enhancing Customer Retention in Call Centre Environments

In this scenario our algorithm predicts what the potential customer might do next. Options could include cancelling a service or ordering a new service.

Predicting: Once our algorithm has identified the customers possible actions it predicts the highest probability for the action the customer will take next and aligns this with the defines set of rules for what should then happen. For example, if the algorithm predicts the customer might cancel a service it will put in place the options available that would help to retain the customer.

Resolving: Call centre staff would be able to see the real-time prediction and be ready to respond accordingly with a range of potential activities which would help to retain the customer. The same activity can also be translated to digital communications, allowing the firm to contact a client digitally with the same customer retention strategy.

Results: Compared to predicted customer churn, our solution increased customer retention by 1.5%. For a large business this could represent thousands of individuals.

A Solution Worth €3.6m each year!

For a telecoms firm with 1m customers and 10% turnover (the industry average) then that equates to 100,000 customers each year. Our solution is proven to reduce this to 8.5% – in other words 85,000 customers. If 15,000 more customers stay with the firm and are paying €20 each month for their contract, then the business saves €3.6m every year!
