Smart Telecom go-live with new contact centre solution from Graham Technology
Smart Telecom, the second largest Telco in Ireland, has gone live with an innovative contact centre solution from Graham Technology which will enable the company to provide a higher level of customer management and service to its growing customer base.
The solution from Graham Technology provides Smart Telecom with a single, integrated desktop application for their customer service representatives (CSRs) and has been rolled out across the whole of Smart Telecom's sales, order entry and customer care departments, with up to 150 CSRs using the system at peak times.
This follows on from the sales force automation (PDA) system, which was delivered earlier this year. The two solutions together allow Smart to manage the full customer lifecycle, from the sales agent on the door, through to post-order customer management.
These new solutions provide Smart Telecom with full visibility and tracking of all customer correspondence by utilising Graham Technology's leading-edge contact centre technology. It allows customer services representatives to have full access to all customer information at all times and ensures that customer interaction is a straightforward process. The solution enables sales staff to efficiently manage the complete sales process, from prospect management to close of sale and electronic capture of required information (including a photo of a 'proof of residence' document and the customer's signature).
Ciaran Casey, COO at Smart Telecom, spoke about the project: "Smart Telecom's requirements were for a solution that would underpin outstanding customer service and enable us to have world-class systems to support our rapid growth. Graham Technology has delivered exactly that."
Fiona Graham, Director of Graham Technology, said: "Working with a dynamic company like Smart Telecom enabled Graham Technology to use our latest technologies and innovations to provide Smart Telecom with superior customer-facing processes that reflect the strong customer service ethos of the company."
