LiveVox commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ study in June 2021 to evaluate LiveVox's cost of ownership and return on investment across a variety of different factors in the contact center.

The study revealed numerous benefits for a composite organization based on interviewed customers. Their findings include benefits such as an overall reduction in operational spending, an uptick in manager and agent efficiency, and a streamlined technology stack that enabled smoother customer experiences.

Access the study in full here, and read on for some key highlights.

Dramatically increase ROI with a unified customer engagement platform

The most striking benefit found by Forrester: the composite, or average, the customer saw a 229% ROI and payback in less than 6 months with LiveVox's unified contact center platform.

Adaptability and flexibility are the core needs of today's contact center operators, and the study identifies several key service requirements that LiveVox's platform brings to customers. According to Forrester 'LiveVox provides contact center agents with the tools they need to effectively perform their jobs and deliver smooth customer experiences. Reduced waiting, easier authentication, and agents armed with the full history and context of each customer interaction all help improve the overall experience.'

Benefits

The interviewed customers represented financial services, consumer finance, and retail organizations. They struggled with common challenges ranging from managing high call volumes and a lack of omnichannel cohesion that resulted in subpar agent and customer experiences. Some of the qualitative benefits the customers relayed to Forrester in the research about using LiveVox were:

'I can tell you without a doubt that our contact rates have improved, our sales rates have improved, and we probably wouldn't have survived 2020 without LiveVox.'

Senior director of operations, consumer finance

'LiveVox is an omnichannel solution that gives us a full view of each customer's journey. We can be efficient and nimble now while empowering our agents with the tools and data they need to be successful.'

COO, financial services ROI

  • $6.7M in cost savings from call deflection and reduced AHT over three years
  • Increased operating income by $1.3M over three years
