Customer expectations are higher than ever, especially with communication. For large enterprises that generate high volumes of printed or digital documents, the challenge is obvious. Failing to deliver personalized communication at scale can erode trust and loyalty.
Leading organizations are developing strategies that improve customer communications by making them more targeted and personal. This approach has become a competitive necessity.
According to new research from mobile marketing firm Attentive, 81% of consumers ignore irrelevant communications, while 71% are outright frustrated by them. Even more concerning, one in four consumers say they are less likely to buy from a company after receiving a generic message from them! This frustration impacts loyalty and retention. 59% of customers say personalized engagement based on past interactions is critical to winning their business 1. Personalization isn’t optional anymore.
For organizations that produce thousands, or even millions, of documents each month, creating error-free, personalized communications while maintaining consistent branding is a formidable task. Siloed data, disparate systems, and the sheer volume of documents make it difficult to deliver the right message to the right customer at the right time. Without a state-of-the-art document generation platform, companies are hobbled by the limitations of their legacy systems.
Manually composing and deploying multiple document versions to customer segments is not the answer. This approach leaves too much room for errors. The time and effort required to create customized versions discourages organizations from realizing the benefits that comprehensive personalized documents can deliver.
Modern document automation software, such as Eclipse’s DocOrigin with the Business Communications Center, is built to address large-scale personalization challenges for high-volume enterprises. The right automation platform transforms how companies create documents that enhance the customer experience. Automated document personalization solutions supply the following benefits.
Automated solutions streamline the creation, approval, and distribution of documents. Companies can reduce cycle times from days to minutes. This means customers receive timely, relevant communications such as bills, policies, or personalized offers without delay.
In many organizations, approvals for new or updated documents rely on emails or chat sessions. With no defined structure or administered workflow, documents can be lost, versions confused, or processes stalled. By automating the document approval workflow, companies can avoid many of these frustrating and outdated practices.
Automation minimizes manual data entry, dramatically reducing the risk of errors. Predefined templates ensure every document adheres to brand standards, maintaining a consistent look and feel across all customer touchpoints.
Intelligent document templates dynamically adjust their content. These templates transform logos, color schemes, language, messages, and images based on the data they are given. Organizations can avoid maintaining countless templates for different scenarios thanks to this adaptability.
Document automation platforms like DocOrigin handle massive volumes effortlessly, ensuring peak performance even during busy periods. Features like intelligent document assembly allow for dynamic creation and distribution of personalized documents at scale.
Document generation and distribution can be subject to swings in output expectations. Companies can go for months at normal volumes and then suddenly be hit with a demand spike. Scalable solutions, like DocOrigin Cloud, automatically adjust processing resources to handle the increased workload.
Leading solutions integrate directly with CRM, ERP, and custom applications. With this functionality, companies may inject real-time data into documents automatically. Every communication can match the recipient’s preferences, purchase history, and relationship with the brand.
Personalized communications make customers feel understood and valued. Businesses that invest in personalization see gains in customer satisfaction, loyalty, and increased repeat business.
Personalization isn’t just for marketing. A personal touch can transform even a routine transactional document into a memorable customer experience.
Data such as customer longevity, past invoice amounts, and geographic details allows businesses to create messages customized to each individual. True personalization delivers unique experiences that connect on a deep level, even with bills and statements. See “How Personalized Transactional Documents Drive Loyalty and Satisfaction”.
By automating repetitive, labor-intensive tasks, enterprises free up staff to focus on higher-value work, reduce operational costs, and eliminate expensive errors.
Enterprises across industries garner the benefits of automation-enabled document personalization. McKesson, a global healthcare leader, leveraged DocOrigin to modernize its print program, ensuring efficient, error-free processing of large volumes of critical documents, even during peak times.
Pella, a leading manufacturer, uses DocOrigin to generate large numbers of personalized labels daily, maintaining accuracy and reliability across hundreds of printers. These organizations report operational improvements and enhanced customer engagement and satisfaction.
Personalized communication is no longer a luxury. It’s the expectation. For large enterprises, document automation is the only scalable way to deliver the individualized, prompt, and consistent experiences customers demand. By integrating advanced automation solutions like DocOrigin, businesses can transform their document workflows, reduce costs, and build lasting customer relationships through every printed or digital page.
