Field Force Automation

Automating interaction with a distributed workforce to drive down operating costs

Field Force Automation

Embedding Boomerang's Intelligent Messaging solution into field force management software, allows an organisation to automate large scale appointment fulfillment via multi-channel communications with its distributed workforce. Ensuring that agent responses are tracked against each specific appointment request, allows appointments to be issued in real-time, to a large pool of remote agents, with the agent responding first being assigned to the appointment. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the number of simultaneous appointment requests an agent can receive and respond to.

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.

Boomerang gave the opportunity to rapidly evaluate participants’ responses to messages and respond quickly to messages that failed to provide value to participants. The latter aspect is of particular importance for actively engaging patients with their healthcare enterprise.
