Increased product sales represent a great development in the sales department. As welcome as this is for the company, it often presents service department employees with the question: how can we scale up with this development—without relying solely on human resources to achieve this?
This is compounded by a shortage of human resources coupled with growing customer demand and increased sales figures!
High employee turnover makes it considerably more difficult to establish scalable customer service. Statistically speaking, employees are changing jobs more frequently, while at the same time the demands on customer service are growing. This is increasingly posing major challenges for companies.
This also has an impact on customer satisfaction—due to growing product requirements, more customers are seeking help from customer service. However, high turnover rates make it difficult to build up internal expertise—and customer service is often overloaded.
Imagine if there were a central digital service center: internal knowledge would be retained in the long term, and the service would be relieved and scalable. Customers would receive appropriate support and would not have to wait long for their problems to be solved. As a rule, customers would be empowered to solve the problem themselves.
Introducing Bonder a digital service management solution that successfully implements the concept of self-service in the service department.
Scalability in customer service? Yes, it's possible!
Every company strives for scalability in order to use resources more efficiently. In some areas, such as marketing, this is common practice. However, companies face a number of challenges in customer service:
- New employees sometimes change jobs every one to two years, which leads to a considerable loss of expertise.
- Long-standing employees are retiring and taking with them decades of acquired knowledge.
- Products are becoming increasingly complex and, as a result, more prone to failure. The correct operation, maintenance, and repair of these products are becoming increasingly demanding.
- Finding competent and motivated service personnel is becoming increasingly difficult.
- Even if companies find competent personnel, they must be adequately trained and managed; this incurs additional costs, not to mention the necessary investment of time and personnel.

Sudden, unexpected personnel changes can also be compensated for more easily, as the knowledge bundled in the digital service solution's knowledge database remains intact in the application.
Scale service dynamically instead of constantly expanding staff resources
Overloading customer service has a long-term negative impact on customer satisfaction. When customers have questions or problems, they want them resolved as quickly as possible: who wants to sit in the cold when the heating fails or twiddle their thumbs when the machine breaks down and production comes to a standstill?
This makes customers all the more disappointed when they have to wait unnecessarily long—often for an indefinite period of time—for help. Busy service lines are not uncommon and quickly lead to tense customer relationships. With Bonder , customers Bonder easy and quick access to problem-relevant documents and interactive troubleshooting wizards at all times. This helps to alleviate the initial problem, give the service department some breathing space, and, in the best-case scenario, provide the customer with practical solutions right away.
