Linc Global, the leading customer care automation platform, announced the General Availability release of its direct to consumer capabilities. Linc helps brands offer an automated assistant that engages, serves and converts shoppers, while building stronger customer relationships, and substantially enriching customer data.
Linc’s Customer Care Automation platform revolutionizes how D2C brands solve the challenges of scaling customer care, building a direct relationship with the customer and leveraging data to drive growth. The platform uses AI, a single customer profile, and smart integrations to create engaging, real-time moments that give customers the service they want, an experience they love, and more reasons to shop online again.
Offering a branded, automated assistant across channels that shoppers use most frequently, the platform uses a contextual understanding of needs based on purchasing behavior, order status, customer care history, and unique preferences. The assistant offers a range of services across the customer journey, including post-purchase assistance, re-ordering, and subscription help. It also drives additional engagement through reminders, contextual recommendations, and more. Additionally, using the platform’s understanding of the customer and open APIs, brands can easily deploy differentiating and unique value-added services to drive further engagement and strengthen loyalty. Services such as product selection assistance, in-store stock check, automated on-site live chat, real-time answers to product questions, and comprehensive loyalty program service can be added to the automated assistant’s capabilities, with no fixed limitations on the services created.

In the battle for loyalty, brands can benefit from the incredibly rich and broad customer data that is used not only to power the automated assistant, but can be integrated into existing systems including CRM and marketing automation platforms, providing a far richer and real-time understanding of customer behavior, and the ability to take immediate actions according to their individual preferences and experiences.
