To highlight this lack of consistency, Eptica evaluated 40 leading UK companies on their ability to provide answers to 10 routine questions as well as their speed and accuracy when responding to email, Twitter and chat.

Key findings include:

  • Nearly half of questions remained unanswered
  • Email response times are slowing down
  • Customer service over Twitter has improved by 10% compared to the previous year
  • Chat was 100% accurate but only 5% of companies had it
