"We thought we needed five additional agents to help with the increased volumes. But it turns out that we had a scheduling issue, not a headcount issue. That saved us $250,000 in labor costs annually."
"Integrating PureConnect with our CRM and backend systems was literally half a day’s work."
"Our contact center is now 100 percent digital. As well as increasing self-service and deflection rates, we’re able to take advantage of automation opportunities that we simply never had before. And we no longer have the cost or logistical headache of call management."
"We paired two centers in same location boundaries for backup and set up two offices in the Eastern and Western regions to complement the tasks of the area contact centers. Through this effort, we succeeded in improving service levels and business sustainability."
"We had placed importance on connectivity for initial responses and had two centers in the Eastern and Western regions of Japan in order to be able to take repair requests from all over the country. However, along with the progress of the times, we started facing new issues, such as being able to provide meticulous service that could meet the specific customers’ needs and demands for each region; being able to reduce the time it took to make arrangements to deploy customer engineers for on-site repairs; being able to improve the accuracy in conveying information about repairs or arrangement of necessary parts."
"All negotiators are equal in terms of the value they bring. Now, they can collaborate effectively on dialer campaigns, irrespective of location."
"Customers are identified and authenticated upfront, so the agent doesn’t need to ask again for their personal details. Also, because it’s a chat and people are on the go, they’re more focused and to the point."
"There are insights about both tasks and staff that allow me to achieve optimum results and alter the behaviour of staff."
"The most significant impact of using iWD is our ability to reach out and proactively talk to our customers through different communication methods.

“The business benefits far outweigh the costs of migration.”
“Tasks come into call queues and are automatically pushed to the most appropriately-skilled agents, giving supervisors much better performance visibility.”
“I called the customer back to tell him all the details and called again on the installation day to make sure everything went okay. The customer was delighted and said we’d surpassed his expectations. It’s those moments that make it all worthwhile.”
“Our customers’ expectations have increased tremendously. This is where omnichannel experience comes into play.”
"One of the big keys to success for us was our ability to manage and measure our business at a whole different level. We've got more insight at our fingertips than we could ever think of having before. And that helps us manage our experience for customers. We're an obsessed organization, so those experiences are very important to us."
"Service quality and cost can lever the company to new baselines. It’s a process of continuously changing and innovating."
