Celent recently released a new report titled “Optimizing Face-to-Face interactions: The Missing Link in Branch Channel Transformation” and in it they examine future branch trends.
The research firm confirms our view that branch appointment booking is a “must have” feature – in fact, it rates number three on their list:
- Branch customer experience surveys
- Desktop and process analytics
- Digital appointment booking
They even go so far as to label these as “proximate needs” that demand immediate attention! Fortunately, our Branch Appointments Modules are both quickly implemented and affordable, which makes this is one need that can be readily checked off of any credit union’s must have service list.
Key Takeaway: Now is the time to add mobile and online appointment booking to your branch networks. It is simply too important to wait until a “future branch strategy” can be fully formed and implemented.
