Workplace flexibility arrangements and PCP go well together, as our customer service team can work together from office & remote locations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

PCP has been our Contact Centre Software since Oct 2021.We have a main IVR which allows our customers to choose the relevant queue and sub queues. This addressed our need for giving our customers a more efficient service. It offers us the ability to use a virtual hold facility that automatically rings the customer when it reaches their place in the queue. We have been able to use the flash notification and post call survey which was implemented using a collaboration approach. The post call survey allows us the ability to analyze our customers interaction with our call centre and gives us statistical data that can be used in forward training and journey mapping. The dashboards both agent and supervisors and reports were individually designed to meet our needs and they are always flexible to accommodate more filters if required. The skill based routing functionality and agent monitoring has been an excellent training aid. The service desk is always contactable and instructions and examples are delivered speedily and follow up is part of the service.
