Allowing agents to instantly recognize and engage users via text, automated conversational and observational bots, or live voice or video conversation, TEN DIGIT provides better and more mobile customer experience all while cutting costs and increasing efficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s call centers are often built on outdated voice lines and have not kept pace with the revolution ushered in by the smartphone or the\u00a0preferences of smartphone users. Web chat solutions require users to be on a specific company\u2019s website at a specific time. TDC BRIDGE\u00ae allows users to connect to a business wherever they are, whenever they want, on any generic smartphone, leading to much higher penetration rates. TEN DIGIT\u2019s patented software enables outdated business telephony to seamlessly integrate with new technologies to create productivity gains, increase revenues, and improve the customer experience in communicating with companies. TDC BRIDGE\u00ae can be set up in a day, scales rapidly with no\u00a0expensive legacy system or hardware requirements, and is fully functional without being restricted to a single app.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a sports fan who orders a beer by smartphone &#8211; taking a picture of his license, sharing the picture with the concession stand,\u00a0texting his order, and having it delivered to his seat &#8211; or a financial services customer who orders a trade via voice app and seamlessly confirms\u00a0her identity through way she swipes during the transaction, TDC BRIDGE\u00ae offers enhanced customer interaction. Using ID R&amp;D\u2019s technology, TDC\u00a0BRIDGE\u00ae is now fortified by award-winning biometrics and ensures customer convenience and security from the very first contact all the way through to\u00a0post-transaction follow-up. When conversations are only on text, you can\u2019t use personal information as validation because this information would\u00a0remain in the message history indefinitely. Instead, using a selfie for verification is simple, discreet, and most importantly, very effective.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customerservicemanager.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/garybrandt.jpg\" alt=\"Gary Brandt\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customerservicemanager.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/garybrandt.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.customerservicemanager.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/garybrandt-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\u201cOur mission is to let customers talk to your business as easily as they talk to their friends,\u201d said Gary Brandt, CEO of TEN DIGIT. \u201cID R&amp;D\u2019s\u00a0multimodal biometric technology aligns perfectly with our vision: to provide a frictionless customer experience that is as secure as it is\u00a0efficient, pleasant, and effective.<\/p>\n<p>Customers don\u2019t want to feel like they\u2019re playing a trivia game to prove who they are.
