You are on the lookout for a new couch to replace the one your dog tore apart. So, what exactly do you do? Open up your laptop, type ‘couches near me’ into the search bar, or you visit a website you might be familiar with, such as Ikea or HomeGoods. When you are browsing the website, pesky little chat pop-ups appear, asking if you need assistance, and when you close them, you run into other problems such as coupon pop-ups that stay on your monitor screen incessantly, or your shopping cart taking longer than expected to load, all-the-while hitting essential roadblocks that prevent you from making the final purchase.
Due to frustration and annoyance, now you have completely abandoned looking for a new couch online, dissatisfied with the online experience. A negative customer journey experience is the term for the procedure you’ve been put through. It’s the overall experience a customer gets while communicating with a brand. It’s the entire customer journey, from brand discovery to purchasing and beyond. The customer journey focuses on how a customer feels after interacting with a brand and not just the transactions. In our example, due to the company’s broken website and features, you have probably reconsidered purchasing from that said company again.
The Problem
So how do we resolve this issue? The main problem lies in the back-end of the customer journey experience. It is fundamentally messed up as most customer journeys today are anything but seamless. They’re slow, painfully manual, and devoid of any context. Everything we create should be adaptable to the circumstances in which our customers find themselves. What most businesses fail to consider is that not every client interaction is represented equally, whether it’s securing a sale or responding to an emergency. They need to focus on a customer’s most essential moments and individualize the customer journey to build a long-lasting relationship with the customer for future purchases.
Customers have every right to expect that earlier interactions, such as their orders, requests, and phone conversations, will be remembered by the company at all times. And now thanks to technology advancements, this level of personalization for a customer’s journey can now be produced seamlessly, and Airkit provides quick and effortless multi-level solutions to address and alleviate these customer journey concerns.

Customers can create data flows, construct custom APIs, leverage a selection of pre-built or custom connections, manage cross-channel customer journeys, and develop apps using pre-built components and templates utilizing the company’s platform.
Security and Data Encryption
Airkit provides its users the ability to build their own interactions easily by using drag-and-drop elements such as data, forms, controls, triggers, user interfaces, user actions, data manipulations, conversational channels, and more using Airkit’s templates. Besides a personalized experience, Security and Data Encryption are also services offered by Airkit.
