The challenge
Running an efficient call centre that can deliver high levels of customer satisfaction is vital for a large B2C business. We needed to accelerate the ‘time to resolution’ by making the platform faster and easier to use, reducing call queues and staff training in the process.

Intelligent searching
We worked with the back-end team to create a dynamic ‘type anything in’ search field that would return intelligent results in a flash.

Order management
Focusing on how call centre staff interacted with orders resulted in a split-page solution to remove the need to move between pages.

Glasses management
Every business and system has unique aspects. On this project, we needed to improve the way that dispensing opticians approved prescriptions.

Customer management
Leveraging the split-screen view made working with multiple customer records and orders much easier, without changing pages.
“Plug & Play really understand what we are trying to do and we have a great working relationship”

Moving from one call to another has become a much more streamlined process. By using the intelligent search and the split screen view, call centre staff are able to resolve calls more quickly, and therefore increase the overall number of calls they can take during their shift, reducing call queues.
By collaborating with the call centre team and documenting their feedback on the legacy system, we were able to gain buy-in from the team at an early stage, minimising change management friction.
