The blended universal queue system is abbreviated by BUQS. In easy words, it is the process of combining traffic from numerous channels into a single queue.
Although, it is a strategy that Voice, email, WhatsApp, SMS, and other communications services are all replaced by separate lines using this technology.
What Does BUQS Aim to Achieve?
The variety of customer interaction options has grown significantly during the last few decades.
At first, virtually every business relied on a variety of queues. This was caused in part by the inability to come up with a workable plan for combining the queues.
Alternative outlets existed, but only a small portion of customers used them at first, so there was no compelling need to. That's not the situation anymore. In addition to using a channel other than voice, customers are likely to use more than one channel during a single inquiry.
Well, the omnichannel focus creates higher expectations. For instance, approx 90% of the customers expect that you should know who they are when they switch channels. Although, around 75% of the customers rate themselves as they are satisfied with the business when the businesses focus more on the journey rather than touchpoints.
Therefore, At the simplest level, managing a universal queue is the easiest in comparison to growing numerous queues.
What are the Key Gains of Using a Universal Queue?
Well, there are numerous key gains of using a universal queue (UQ). Although, it provides combined workflow management across numerous channels of communication. Some of them are the following. So, let’s have a look at them!
1. A centralized system that provides agents with aggregated customer care workload data makes it easier for them to gain relevant insight into the needs and expectations of their clients
2. It makes it possible to optimize the agent workflow so that it corresponds with their unique job preferences and skills.
3. The UQ (universal queue system) gives managers and supervisors a thorough insight into both the internal operations of their specific teams and the organization as a whole. It provides them with a thorough view of the situation at their facility.
4. The value of a particular interaction channel may be actively evaluated by the UQ network. Through targeted routing, it is possible to give higher priority channel preference over lower priority ones.
5. When agents have a comprehensive understanding of the various customer expectations across various channels of engagement, it is easier for them to respond to the client's wants and provide effective end-to-end solutions.
