Customer satisfaction for firms' digital support up 5.3%: study

About 62.4% of companies now deliver AI-enabled customer support.

Local businesses’ digital initiatives in customer support scored better in the customer satisfaction (CSAT) index this year, increasing by 5.3%, according to a report by software company Zendesk.

The report showed that Singaporean companies’ CSAT scores have peaked at 88.1% this year, ahead of the average CSAT score of Southeast Asian companies which ended at 86.1%.

Firms in Singapore showed to be ahead of its Southeast Asian counterparts in adopting AI-enabled customer support, with 62.4% of companies applying the digital service. Meanwhile, chat demonstrated to be the dominant self-help channel for Malaysians, and Indonesians with 18.2%, and 16.4% of companies, respectively.

The city state also led the global counterpart of the survey, demonstrating to carry the most companies practicing a digitised customer service in three industries: retail with 68% of firms, travel with 68% of businesses, and financial services with 60% of companies delivering digital service.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
