Summary:
The Talkdesk Retail Experience Cloud, powered by Windstream Enterprise, is a robust omnichannel platform that empowers agents with AI-driven tools to enhance efficiency and customer support. From seamless integrations to complete customer histories, it delivers all the capabilities retail brands need to elevate their CX.
Do you know what today’s consumers value most—and are willing to pay for—when it comes to the retail customer experience?
If you named elements like unique experiences, personalization and rewarding loyalty programs, you’d be wrong—only around 20-30% of customers feel that those factors are worth paying more for.
The top four expectations are actually the basics of customer service: efficiency, convenience, knowledgeable assistance and friendly service. Nearly 80% of consumers prioritize these attributes in the brands they choose to buy from.
If your retail brand is struggling to meet those requirements, the Talkdesk Retail Experience CloudTM, powered by Windstream Enterprise, is for you. Here’s what this industry-specific Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solution delivers.
Omnichannel engagement for convenient interactions
The Talkdesk Retail Experience Cloud supports omnichannel engagement, allowing customers to connect via their preferred channels—be it phone, email, video, text, live chat or social media. It also delivers seamless integrations so customers and agents can switch channels without losing the conversation’s context, providing a unified and coherent experience.
Retail customers often start interactions online and complete them in-store or vice versa, making this feature particularly valuable for brands with brick-and-mortar locations. With a dedicated CCaaS solution, you can meet customers where they are and ensure a seamless experience from start to finish, which is essential in today’s multi-touchpoint shopping environment.
AI-driven tools for enhanced efficiency
Customers want efficiency, and the Talkdesk Retail Experience Cloud, powered by Windstream Enterprise, excels here with its advanced AI-driven tools.

Together, these tools help automate routine customer service tasks to speed up response times and reduce the workload on human agents, allowing them to focus on more complex and value-added interactions.
Full brand interaction history for comprehensive support
Having to repeat or re-explain the same information each time you talk to a customer service agent gets frustrating fast, and 56% of customers say this happens to them regularly.
Talkdesk’s CCaaS solution integrates effortlessly with over 70 industry-specific applications, including leading CRM systems like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365. As a result, it can seamlessly capture data from all touchpoints for a comprehensive view of each customer’s journey and insights into each interaction with your brand.
With this information readily available, agents can quickly understand a customer’s past interactions and tailor their support accordingly. This not only improves issue-resolution efficiency but also enhances customer relationships and loyalty by showing that your brand values and remembers each customer.
