Trusted by sector leaders
Saga
Saga identified that the business was in silos without an easily accessible single view of the customer and their booking, they had numerous manual processes and disparate systems leading to poor employee engagement, efficiency and increased risk of human errors.
They were reliant on consultant knowledge and relationships rather than business processes to deal with critical customer service enquiries. The weaknesses of the systems maximised in peak periods resulting in lost bookings and poor customer service.
Implemented an omnichannel solution to consolidate and automate task distribution from incoming customer booking enquiries across multiple channels including: Phone, Email, SMS, Web
Handling cross-enterprise integration with the Saga technology base using all of these features
Integrations across back-end systems allow automatic updates and contextual knowledge to be presented and empower consultants to maximise first-time resolution and the ability to upsell and cross-sell.
Thomas Cook
Thomas Cook wanted to change its approach in order to shift sales from an “order taking” approach to a consultative sales function. This would enhance customer service and the quality of engagement. They were also looking for ways to improve the complaints handling process to improve resolution and effectiveness. This was coupled with a requirement to consolidate operations to fewer sites.
To do this they needed to ensure a single system layered across existing estate to ensure work was sent to the right person to deal with the enquiry whilst automatically bringing contextual information to consultants and complaints handlers.
Provided a single omni channel platform (Phone, Email, Web, Letter) across the complete customer service team estate (4,000+ seats in addition to back office and in resort team.)
The solution managed both Travel Agents and direct Customer channels to provide a single platform to manage bookings and pre departure amendments. With booking history automatically presented to agent along with any other contextual information pulled from Thomas Cooks back office systems.
Provided a case management solution to manage more complex bookings such as weddings along with complaints. Providing full audit trails and meeting regulatory requirements from ABTA.
