4 September 2021 is known as the National Customer Day in Indonesia. Many businesses are taking advantage of this momentous day to give distinctive services for their customers. Some of them even organize an event to commemorate the occasion, and Tokopedia is doing both!

Tokopedia has gone through many transformations to reach its current stage. It grew along with the growth of the e-commerce industry in Indonesia. As per June 2021, we currently have more than 11 million sellers, an addition of more than 40% of sellers since the pandemic occurred. Consumer demand also increased in a short time, and this has impacted our customer interactions. Throughout 2020, there was an increase in customer interactions by up to 70%.

Tokopedia knows that the increasing number of interactions cannot be handled by increasing the capacity or number of agents, as it is not a good long term solution. Instead, Tokopedia through Tokopedia Care combines technology, data analytics, and customer management innovation to uplift the way we deliver service and customer experience. We believe that this experience that we deliver can be a new differentiator for Tokopedia to win customers’ heart.

START CX FIRST Summit is Tokopedia’s first step to embark on a new journey to raise awareness, educate, and also be the medium to deliver our message to other contact center and customer experience practitioners. Coming on 4 September 2021, this virtual conference will highlight best practices in customer experience and spark discussion among practitioners so that we can have the right blend between human touch, technology, and data in creating the best customer experience for all Indonesian customers.

We hope that through START CX FIRST Summit, we’re able to showcase the best customer experience practices and tremendously uplift the standard of experience for Indonesian customers.

The summit will cover more than 40 Customer Experience experts with more than 20 exciting topics related to customer experience practices across industries. The session will show you how to create the perfect combination of human-touch, technology, and analytics-driven solutions that can help organizations generate new ideas and inspiration.
