LivePerson, Inc. makes life easier by transforming how people communicate with
brands. LiveEngage, the Company’s enterprise-class, cloud-based platform,
enables businesses and consumers to connect through conversational interfaces,
such as in-app and mobile messaging, while leveraging bots and Artificial Intelligence
(AI) to increase efficiency. As consumers have reoriented their digital lives
around the smartphone, messaging apps have become their preferred communication
channel to connect with each other. LivePerson allows brands to align with this
new consumer preference, and deploy messaging at scale for customer care, marketing
and sales, instead of requiring that consumers use email or call a 1-800 number.
LiveEngage was designed to securely deploy messaging, coupled with bots and
AI, at scale for brands with tens of millions of customers and many thousands
of customer care agents. LiveEngage powers conversations across each of a brand’s
primary digital channels, including mobile apps, mobile and desktop web browsers,
short message service (SMS), social media and third-party consumer messaging
platforms. Brands can also use LiveEngage to message consumers when they dial
a 1-800 number instead of having them navigate interactive voice response systems
(IVR) and wait on hold.
The robust, cloud-based suite of rich mobile messaging and real-time chat offerings
features intelligent routing and capacity mapping, customer sentiment, real-time
analytics and reporting, content delivery, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance,
cobrowsing and a sophisticated proactive targeting engine. The platform seamlessly
integrates with third-party bots, enabling brands to manage both AI-based agents
and human agents from a single console. More than 18,000 businesses, including
Adobe, Citibank, EE, HSBC, IBM, LOreal, Orange, PNC, and The Home Depot employ
our technology to keep pace with rising customer service expectations and to
align with preferences for digital communication channels.
According to our internal measures, during 2017, we monitored an average of
2.6 billion visitor sessions per month across our customers’ websites.
LivePerson combines this session data with conversational transcripts and other
historical, behavioral, and operational information to develop insights into
consumer intent and each step of the customer journey, which leads to optimized
campaign outcomes for sales and service transactions.
LivePerson’s products, coupled with our domain knowledge, industry expertise
and professional services, have been proven to maximize the effectiveness of
consumer engagement. Our mobile and online business messaging solutions deliver
measurable return on investment by enabling our customers to:
increase consumer satisfaction, improve the overall digital experience, and
enhance retention and loyalty, while reducing customer service costs;
lower operating costs in the contact center by deflecting costly phone and email
interactions to messaging, and incorporating agent and consumer-facing bots
to further improve agent efficiency;
increase mobile app retention and engagement by providing a connected messaging
experience and turning an app into an engaging support app;
maintain a valued connection with consumers via mobile devices, either through
native applications, websites, text messages, or third-party messaging platforms.
accelerate sales cycles, increase conversion rates, increase average order value
and reduce abandonment by intelligently engaging website visitors;
leverage spending that drives visitor traffic by increasing visitor conversions;
refine and improve performance by understanding which initiatives deliver the
highest rate of return; and
increase lead generation by providing a single platform that engages consumers
through advertisements and listings on branded and third-party websites.
As a “cloud computing” or software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider,
LivePerson provides solutions on a hosted basis. This model offers significant
benefits over premise-based software, including lower up-front costs, faster
implementation, lower total cost of ownership, scalability, cost predictability,
and simplified upgrades. Organizations that adopt a fully-hosted, multi-tenant
architecture that is maintained by LivePerson eliminate the majority of the
time, server infrastructure costs, and IT resources required to implement, maintain,
and support traditional on-premise software.
Our consumer services offering is an online marketplace that connects independent
service providers (Experts) who provide information and knowledge for a fee
via mobile and online messaging with individual consumers (Users). Users seek
assistance and advice in various categories including personal counseling and
coaching, computers and programming, education and tutoring, spirituality and
religion, and other topics.
