OMQ Update | Version Buenos Aires 10.3 - Website Import, Extensive Reports and Versioning of Entries
With the new website import (beta) and the versioning of entries, creating and editing your knowledge database is now even easier. The new reporting gives you even more comprehensive and in-depth insights into your customer service performance.
We have released the product version Buenos Aires 10.3.
With version 10.3 Buenos Aires, we are introducing the beta version of our brand-new website import, which allows you to import specific parts of your website into the knowledge base at the push of a button. Another highlight is the new reporting feature, which provides you with numerous KPIs at a glance and enables you to react immediately to changes in customer behavior. With the new versioning of entries, you can view the complete editing history and undo changes.
In this article, we show you how these new highlights work.
New Website Import (Beta Version)
Import Specific Parts of the Website into the Knowledge Base with One Click
Using the import button, specific parts of websites (HTML-based websites) can now be uploaded directly into the knowledge base. To do this, enter the URL into the “Import Website” input field. With one click, the website is searched and analyzed.
From the information on the website, appropriate questions with corresponding answers are created. These are then automatically imported into the knowledge base.
A major advantage is that you have full control over all entries. All imported entries can (just like the entries you create yourself) be manually edited and adjusted, set to draft (or deleted). Only what you specify will be displayed.
Advantages of the New Website Import
The new website import saves you an enormous amount of time and effort. You can start automating your customer service even faster and always have full control. With the website import, you can easily build up your service knowledge in the knowledge database.
Comprehensive Reporting
Across All Integrations and for Each Integration Individually
With the new and comprehensive reporting, the performance of your customer service is analyzed. This way, you can also show internally within the company how well and efficiently you automate your customer service with OMQ.
Important KPIs at a Glance:
- Answered Inquiries: This shows the total number of questions automatically answered by the system.
- Hours Saved: Indicates how many working hours could be saved through the use of the system.
- FTEs Saved (Full-Time Equivalent): Based on the number of hours saved, this estimates how many full-time employees could be saved.
- Expenses Saved: Shows the total costs that could be saved through the use of the system.
The following assumptions apply for the calculation:
- The cost for answering a ticket amounts to €5.00 per ticket.*
- The annual cost per agent is €45,000 (including wage costs as well as ancillary wage costs, costs for buildings, hardware, software, training, team leadership, HR, etc.).
- It is assumed that an employee works 230 days per year.
- A solved query in the FAQ section does not automatically mean that a ticket would be created for it. Here we conservatively assume that a ticket would only have been created for every 5 queries.
*This value comes from a Gartner study, in which the average cost for answering a ticket ranges from €5 to €20.
In addition, the following metrics are also calculated: Solution Rate, Top 5 Questions, Top 5 Categories, Languages, Channels, and Feedback.
Detailed Insights
Under the “Questions” tab, you get a detailed view and listing of the solved questions, including each session.
In the other tabs, you get an overview of:
- Overview of categories (and the questions solved within them)
- Unanswered questions (with the corresponding conversations)
- Evaluation of feedback (sorted by relevance)
By clicking on the question, the list of sessions with the respective conversations opens.
You can view the individual conversations and gain insight into what input the customers made (on the help page, in the contact form, or in the chat) and which response was displayed (with date and duration of each session).
You also have the option to report problems to the OMQ support team. Here you can directly describe what the problem/current behavior is and what the expected behavior would be. Our support team will then take care of the problem report as quickly as possible.
Advantages with the New Reporting
The new reporting helps to further increase efficiency through continuous improvements, better understand customer behavior, respond to feedback, and optimally meet customer needs.
We are happy to present the new reporting to you in a short call. Simply arrange a non-binding appointment with Frank.
Versioning of Entries
Easy Editing and Insight into the Version History of Entries
Another highlight is the new version history of entries. By clicking the “Versions” button (clock icon), you can now view the entire editing history of entries. This allows you to undo changes and restore previous versions.
A new version is created when an entry is edited and elements are changed, added, or deleted, and this change is saved. You can switch to any created version via the version history.
Each version can then be selected by clicking on “Version” (e.g., Version 3). The selected version is displayed on the right side. Changes in the entry are indicated by the orange bar on the left margin. By clicking on the “Restore” button, this version is restored, and changes made after this version are thus undone.
Advantages of Versioning
This feature is especially helpful when multiple people are working in the knowledge base. It ensures better traceability and easy documentation.
