Departments

Customer Service

Customers expect fast, consistent answers in the channel they choose. Customer service teams need every letter, message and document at hand, and the tools to respond in one go.

Why this role specifically

Service agents switch between systems to find what a customer received, wait for template changes from IT, and send letters that do not match what was said on the phone.

Customers expect personalised, accessible communication across channels, and regulations such as the European Accessibility Act raise the bar.

Where we usually start

Two practices cover most of what comes up for customer service teams. Both link through to the full explanation.

Customer Communications Experience (CCX)

Interactive, on-demand communication that agents personalise within approved templates, sent through the customer’s preferred channel.

Content Services & Document Management

Every communication a customer received, archived with its metadata and retrievable in seconds.

What we propose most often

Quadient Inspire Suite or SmartCOMM for interactive customer communication, Quadient Inspire Digital Vault to archive and retrieve what was sent, and Workato to connect CRM and contact-centre systems.

What this looks like in practice

A typical customer service engagement starts with one high-volume interaction, such as complaint handling or claims correspondence, where agents now rewrite letters by hand.

We give agents approved, personalised templates and instant access to the communication history, and measure the effect on handling time.

Platforms we use most in this sector

Which platform we propose depends on your process and systems. These are the ones we deploy most often here, delivered by Canon IMS under one contract.

Customer communication is a core practice of Canon IMS, Quadient Partner of the Year in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Frequently asked questions

Can agents personalise letters without IT?

Yes. Agents work in approved templates with locked legal text and editable sections, so they can personalise within guardrails without waiting for IT.

How do agents find what a customer received?

With Quadient Inspire Digital Vault, every communication is archived with its metadata and can be retrieved in seconds.

Can customer communication be made accessible?

Yes. CCX platforms can generate accessible output, in line with the European Accessibility Act.
