Omnichannel Interactions

Omnichannel Interactions refer to a customer-centric approach that provides a seamless, consistent user experience across all available channels and touchpoints. Instead of treating each channel (e.g., website, mobile app, in-store kiosk) as a separate entity, an omnichannel strategy integrates them into a single, cohesive user journey. This ensures that a user can start an action on one platform and seamlessly continue or complete it on another without any friction.

Example: A bank is developing a new online portal and mobile app. To ensure a consistent user experience, the quality assurance team performs omnichannel testing on the login feature. They would verify that:

1. Consistency: The login screen looks and functions identically on both the website and the mobile app.
2. Data Synchronization: If a user changes their password on the website, they can immediately use the new password to log in on the mobile app.
3. Cross-Channel Flow: A user who starts a password reset process on their phone by requesting a code via email can successfully use that code to complete the process on their desktop computer.

This ensures that the user's login experience is smooth and reliable, no matter which channel they choose to use.
