Self-service
With internet
access, engineers can retrieve the very latest job information
24/7, passing details back to head office via inexpensive hand-held
devices or their laptops. Customers can log calls directly through
a secure website and check job progression, shifting the pressure
from your
call centre while enhancing the service experience.
Remote access
Having logged on, either on-site, at the office or at home,
engineers can view their allocated calls and associated customer
details. Details about jobs complete, for example, times, parts
used/required and fault analysis can all be entered and routed
seamlessly into the core system for processing without any
re-keying.
Hand-held devices
To facilitate mobile working, your engineers can choose to
receive an update of job allocations direct from the call centre to
their handheld PocketPC. On completion of a visit, call details and
the customer's signature can be uploaded back to head office. The
device synchronises calls, engineer parts, fault analysis codes and
more via GPRS.
Customer portals
Logging on to a secure website enables customers to enter call
information directly and check job progression via visibility of
their call status. This simultaneously enhances the customer
experience while shifting away the pressure on your call centre so
they can focus on call resolution.
