Nicky Hjerpe at Netcall explores ten benefits of low code application development in contact centres.
Contact centres play a pivotal role in modern business operations, directly linking companies to their customers. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on agent-centric features to enhance customer interactions.
However, the dynamic nature of customer service demands a more comprehensive approach that goes beyond agent capabilities. This is where low-code application development comes into play.
Low-code application development can revolutionise contact centre environments by streamlining processes, automating tasks and improving customer and employee experiences.

What is Low-Code Application Development?

Before delving into the benefits, let’s clarify what low-code application development is.
Low-code is a visual development approach that allows individuals with little to no coding experience to create applications using a visual interface, pre-built templates and drag-and-drop components.
By significantly reducing the need for extensive coding, application development is faster, more accessible and adaptable to changing requirements.

The Benefits of Low-Code Application Development

1. Rapid Application Development

Contact centres often require quick responses to changing customer demands and market trends. Low-code platforms enable businesses to create and modify applications faster than traditional coding, helping contact centres stay agile and responsive.

2. Enhanced Customer Experience

With low-code, contact centres can build custom applications to manage customer data, track interactions and deliver personalised services. This leads to a more tailored and efficient customer experience, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.

3. Employee Empowerment

When a contact centre is empowered with low-code tools, they can create custom solutions and workflows to streamline their tasks. This enhances agent productivity, which boosts job satisfaction and retention rates.

4. Process Automation

Low-code platforms excel at automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Contact centres can use these platforms to automate data entry, call routing, appointment scheduling and more. Crucially, automation reduces errors. Also, agents are freed to focus on more complex customer issues.

CallMiner explores the stages in the product experience lifecycle, the role of a contact centre in managing the product experience lifecycle, and how to leverage insights from customer interactions to drive product innovation and improvement. The product experience lifecycle helps companies map the customer journey and understand customers’ thoughts about a product each step of the way. By focusing on continuous user feedback via contact centre interactions with customers, companies can determine when and how to improve their products.

The Experience From Discovery, Right Through to Use of a Product

Product experience refers to the experience a customer has from the moment of discovering a product to their use of the product. The product experience lifecycle is the customer’s movement from one point in the customer journey to another and their experiences with the product at each stage. It includes everything from a product’s advertising leading to customer awareness to user onboarding to customer reviews and recommendations. Modern contact centres use artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools and software to gather insights from customer conversations and deliver those insights back to the businesses they serve, allowing companies to re-evaluate their products and drive innovation.

The Role of Product Intelligence

Product intelligence is a necessary component of the product experience lifecycle. It’s the process of collecting insights about a product, how customers interact with it, and their opinions about it. Companies use this information to identify weaknesses in their products, learn what customers love and want to see more of, make products better, and design new products to meet customer needs. In a contact centre, product intelligence is highly automated with the help of AI. Product intelligence software listens for feedback from customers continuously, gathering contextual insights from real customer conversations as they happen.

What Product Experience Isn’t

Product experience, user experience, and customer experience go hand-in-hand, but they aren’t the same. User experience refers to customer interactions with a product, and product experience targets the feelings about a product at each step of the customer journey. Both of these come together to create the customer experience, which includes the interactions and feelings a customer has about a brand as a whole, rather than a product.

Product Experience Lifecycle Stages

The product lifecycle can vary depending on the type of product. The steps below are generally the most common parts of a product lifecycle. We’ll explain each stage and how product experience ties in.

Contact centres can be tough on agents. We ask our experts for their tips and advice you can use to help agents feel less lonely at work.

How to Help Agents Feel Less Lonely

1. Make Sure to Say “Good Morning” to Everyone in Your Team, Every Day

Make the effort to say “good morning” to everyone in your team, every day, to start each working day off on a positive note. This helps to make sure no one feels left out or unnoticed as they arrive at work.

2. Make Sure Your Company Values Are Tangible So Agents Feel Part of Something That Matters

If you want your agents to feel less lonely, they must feel a part of something bigger than themselves. One way to do this is to make sure your company values are tangible! “Make sure that everyone has regular conversations around what the company values are and what they mean for them in their day-to-day work, being sure to tie their efforts and achievements back to specific values, so it all becomes more meaningful and interconnected.

  • Your QA processes don’t scale easily,

  • You don’t know where to start selecting tools to help you automate your contact center processes.

Google-Ipsos study shows global AI adoption rising, but North America lags as trust and communication remain key challenges. A new Google-Ipsos report shows AI adoption is increasing globally, especially in emerging markets. However, the study reveals challenges like regional divides, gender disparities, and slower adoption in developed countries. Critics, including Nate Hake, founder of Travel Lemming, point out how Google overlooks these challenges in its report coverage.

AI Is Growing, But Unevenly

Globally, 48% of people used generative AI last year, with countries like Nigeria, Mexico, and South Africa leading adoption. These regions also show the most excitement about AI’s potential to boost economies and improve lives. Adoption lags at 29% in developed nations like the U.S. and Canada, meaning that 71% of people in these regions haven’t knowingly engaged with generative AI tools.

Some of the world’s biggest tech vendors and services firms worked diligently at this week’s NRF 2025 Retail Big Show to differentiate themselves as trusted guides through the broadening enterprise AI goldrush. Technology publishers and service providers showed off their platforms and tools at the event, showcased customer stories, and used messaging that designed to encourage more retailers to invest in building their first AI-based solutions. For business economists, AI’s growth in retail and across the broader economy has the potential to be significant. Speaking at NRF, Greg Daco, chief economist at EY, said his team estimates that over 10 years, generative AI could contribute two to four years of extra growth. “The thing is, it’s not going to be immediate,” he added, explaining that today’s productivity growth is driven by other factors. “Productivity growth [right now] is not AI-driven, it’s driven by process efficiency, people staying longer, and more efficient investments.” For retailers at NRF 2025 thinking about current and future opportunities to grow their businesses, some might be forgiven for struggling to pick sessions to attend from among the tech giant sponsors. Titles offered up by major brands offered little insight or intrigue at an event heavy in AI talking points. For attendees planning a day full of activities the options might have proved frustrating with session titles like: “Driving value with AI in retail”, “Leveraging AI to improve omnichannel experiences”, “Revolutionize retail with agentic AI”, “Reimagining retail with AI”, and “Transform retail with AI”.

The last-gen Kindle Scribe is nearly identical to the new model, only with a few minor upgrades.

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the new Kindle Scribe, we’ve got good news: the first-gen model is on sale for a couple hundred dollars less than the second-gen model. Normally $349.99 in new condition, Amazon is currently selling it with in refurbished configuration with 16GB of storage, a Basic Pen, and a one-year warranty for just $233.99 as a part of a limited-time lightning deal. You can also buy it at Amazon with 32GB of storage for $259.99.

Both of Amazon’s note-taking ebook readers sport a spacious 10.2-inch 300 ppi display and an adjustable warm light, though the latest Scribe builds upon the original with thinner bezels, a textured display, and a soft-tipped Premium Pen. The most significant changes come in the form of software features, which are available on the first-gen model via a free download. That means no matter which e-reader you buy, you can finally write notes directly on pages. You’ll also be able to take advantage of various AI features, including AI-generated summaries and a tool that lets you refine your handwriting. The only difference is that the new Scribe comes with these features baked in.

Three more midweek discounts

  • The Beats Powerbeats Pro are down to $99.99 (half off) at Best Buy, which is their lowest price to date. The wireless earbuds are still exceptionally comfortable despite their age, with over-ear hooks that keep them securely in place during intense workouts. They also continue to deliver good sound, pair well with Apple devices, and last up to nine hours on a single charge, though you’ll still need a Lightning cable to charge them. Read our review.
  • Amazon and Best Buy are selling the Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($20 off), which is one of its best prices to date. The stylus is compatible with the latest iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Mini; however, unlike the Apple Pencil (USB-C), the Pro model features Find My support so you can quickly locate it. It also comes with extra creative capabilities, including pressure sensitivity, double-tap tool switching, and a “barrel roll” feature that lets you twist your digital brush’s orientation by turning the stylus as you paint.
  • You can pick up the Chipolo One Point at Amazon for $22 ($5 off), an all-time low. The puck-shaped Bluetooth tracker is perfect for keeping tabs on various items, whether it be a set of keys or a pet collar. The keyring tracker also features a user-replaceable battery, IPX5 water resistance, and support for Android’s Fast Pair feature, though keep in mind it only supports Google’s Find My platform, not Apple’s.
