Data Cohorts, a provider of Data and Compliance Print Outsourcing services, will leverage Infobip’s omnichannel communication solutions to help insurance providers engage customers on their preferred channels. The range of solutions offered by Infobip include Conversations, Answers, and Moments, which allow Data Cohorts’ clients to communicate with their customers be it offline, online, on the web or through mobile platforms. This deployment will also accelerate insurance providers to have a kickstart in their insuretech offering, in meeting the changing needs of consumers due to digital consumption behaviours.
As demand for personalised engagement from consumers continue to grow, the insurance industry is of no exception and brands have to explore the potential of omnichannel and AI-based chatbots to deliver swift and accurate responses to customer queries paired with a human touch. This is supported in a report titled A Year of Disruption: Managing Increasing Complexities in Customer Service released by Infobip, where 46 per cent of respondents cited insufficient digital support by brands across industries to effectively utilise available digital platforms.
By integrating Infobip expertise with Data Cohorts Total CX Automation, an all-in-one customer hub, the partnership aims to address this ongoing customer pain point to help businesses design, manage, and deliver real-time communications to its customers. This offering is also designed to help brands realise their digital transformation vision faster, subsequently driving their bottom line that is derived from greater customer satisfaction.
George Ni, Regional Director of Partnerships and Alliances APAC Infobip, shared that “Deploying an omnichannel solution is essential for brands in consumer communications today, which has been defined by the diverse preferred communication platforms of consumers. Driven by customers’ expectations, the Malaysian insurance industry is also expected to deliver a superior customer experience, as consumers today expect brands to have an ‘always-on’ and personalised communications approach, to help resolve their queries faster. To address this, we are excited to partner with Data Cohorts to deliver a total solution requirement for the industry, to help brands achieve their business goal in this digital landscape while speeding up their digital transformation journey.”
Hor Yew Jin, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Data Cohorts said, “By integrating Infobip’s expertise in CPaaS and SaaS communication solutions, we can provide a wider range of offering to incisively address our clients’ challenges, and to effectively communicate and establish meaningful relationships with their customers. Through this partnership, our clients have the flexibility and scalability to deploy the omnichannel solution that they have envisioned and tap into new market opportunities. As a market leader in customer communications management and business process outsourcing agency, partnering with Infobip is a testament in our continuous efforts to seek innovative solutions to benefit our clients.”
