Review of the existing processes was also required to ensure they were in tandem with the demand. Delayed communication can cause delayed projects, hence it was important to review the internal communication methods. Plugins and add-ons were also in need of updation to ensure optimal responses.
Requirement was also felt for improving the telephonic communication process like automatic call-back, transferring of calls, con-calls, on-hold music, IVR and features like DND.
SOLUTION
The experts at Telefirm conducted a round of evaluatory discussions with all the stakeholders and charted a list of best possible telephony solutions. An Epabx solution was implemented with multi extensions and calling to enable seamless call transfer and call holding. The call traffic pattern was analysed to effectively plan the management of calls during peak and off peak hours.
MBL is open for wholesale food industry businesses in South Australia and the Northern Territory. Businesses can apply for an account online or calling MBL to discuss further requirements.
MBL Foods have made it possible for the public and any other business Australia wide to use the website to purchase goods from MBL. Users can also place telephone orders with the call centre as well.
Telefirm provided the best support and maintenance for PABX telephone system. The electronic private automatic branch exchange equipment which was installed made the day-to-day working at MBL very simple and prompt. With an extensive experience in offering high quality PABX maintenance solutions to small, medium and large enterprises, the main aim was to ensure complete peace of mind for the staff with limited downtime.
Results, Outcome & Benefits
The new internal PABX system allowed the staff to co-ordinate and process the customer queries in an effective manner. The response time was cut to half, as the communication was now faster.
As the queries were being handled at a faster pace, the customer satisfaction rate was tremendously enhanced. As the employees had to handle hundreds of orders daily, having the robust communication systems in place meant fewer crashes or interruptions. With an effective backup system the scope of customer dis-satisfaction was completely eliminated.
The results were out within a few weeks of implementing the overhaul. A growing business meant additional need for searching and retrieving information and documents for answering queries, instructing vendors and internal processes. The optimized mobile and EPABX system meant the communication was flawless.
An improved organizational information flow meant efficient staff and happier customers. This converted to improvement in customer feedbacks and reviews.
The new epabx system tremendously helped in reducing the pressure on customer care team, as they had more control over the conversations and communication was now fast and easy. The introduction of improved technology solutions improved the efficiency and effectiveness of processes as well as led to faster turn around time.
