Journey Anomaly Detection & Recovery
Real-time detection of journey friction with proactive recovery offers to reduce churn at friction points by 50-70% through immediate intervention.
Why This Matters
What It Is
Real-time detection of journey friction with proactive recovery offers to reduce churn at friction points by 50-70% through immediate intervention.
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. Customer encounters friction (checkout error, out of stock, payment failure). 2. Customer calls support or abandons journey (30-50% churn at friction points). 3. Support agent reacts to customer complaint after the fact. 4. Agent offers generic apology and discount if customer complains loudly. 5. No systematic tracking or prevention of friction patterns.
Characteristics
- • Adobe Customer Journey Analytics
- • CGI AI-driven Anomaly Detection
- • ServiceNow
- • Excel
- • Custom AI/ML Platforms
Pain Points
- ⚠ Rules-based detection often misses anomalies outside predefined parameters.
- ⚠ Data silos complicate comprehensive anomaly detection and recovery workflows.
- ⚠ Delayed detection and response due to reliance on user complaints or manual monitoring.
- ⚠ High false positive rates from static thresholds leading to unnecessary alerts.
- ⚠ Resource-intensive manual RCA and recovery processes.
- ⚠ Static rules cannot adapt to evolving customer behaviors or process changes.
- ⚠ Integration challenges between disparate systems hinder effective anomaly detection.
Future State
(Agentic)- Anomaly Detection Agent monitors customer journeys in real-time for friction signals: repeated page refreshes, error messages, extended time on step, rage clicks.
- Agent classifies friction type and severity (payment error, out of stock, technical issue).
- Recovery Orchestration Agent immediately triggers appropriate intervention: proactive chat offer, discount code, alternative product suggestion, expedited shipping.
- Agent tracks recovery outcome and learns which interventions work for each friction type.
- Insights routed to product teams to fix root causes.
Characteristics
- • Real-time behavioral stream (clicks, scrolls, errors)
- • Application error logs and monitoring
- • Inventory Management and product availability data
- • Customer value and segment data
- • Historical friction and recovery outcome data
- • Support ticket and contact data
Benefits
- ✓ 50-70% reduction in churn at friction points through proactive intervention
- ✓ Real-time detection vs reactive response after abandonment
- ✓ 10-20% friction churn vs 30-50% traditional
- ✓ Tailored recovery offers maximize effectiveness (discount vs alternative product vs help)
- ✓ Continuous learning improves friction prevention
- ✓ 30-40% reduction in support contacts due to proactive resolution
