Customer Support Management

Reduce call centre demand through automation

Customer Support Management

An influx of support requests can be difficult for any organisation to handle, often leading to lengthy call queues and disgruntled customers. Boomerang's instant messaging solutions for service desk support, allow an organisation to make different support channels available to customers, alleviating demand on call centres and prioritising support requests based on their urgency. Support requests are handled via pre-defined user journeys that serve to elicit the customer's specific problem, and where viable (for common or recurring support requests), provide a solution. Furthermore, urgent requests can be prioritised and passed directly to an agent. With customer retention such an important part of an organisation's existence, a solution delivering such customer quality assurance, is a real advantage.

Because of the nature of our end-users, their communications skills and platforms are variable; we therefore, need to have a number of channels open to claimants. SMS is proving to be our most effective method of communication.
