Challenges

Lead & Customer management-Bank was unable to gather leads information in a centralised location and conduct regular follow-ups for the interested prospects. Bank was also not able to allocate leads to various teams situated in various locations. Outbound and Inbound calls were not been serviced accurately due to lack of information and scattered data in various systems. It became evident that there was need to centralise the data and accessibility to various advisors spread across locations real time. This would help the bank in growing business revenue by attending to each interested prospect and systematic division of data across the organisation teams.
 
Out-bound campaign management– Bank required a centralised system to run outbound campaigns with the help of the call centre team. There was need to get customer data flowing into CRM system and scheduling campaigns related to outbound calling linked to various advisors for upselling of products, schemes, offers associated with the bank.
 
Ticketing system via Telephony system-Bank was unable to organise tickets raised by the existing customers in a centralised format and route to appropriate teams inside the bank. FTR SMS system was also a prominent issue for the bank in terms of notifications to the customers. Due to scattered data, tickets assignment, resolution time, feedback capture, tickets synchronization across systems were some of the major concerns for the bank. Due to lack of centralised knowledge base, agents were unable to provide basic query resolutions related to standard FAQ’s. Various customer related activities like Internet Mobile banking issues, Core banking data of the customer, Card hot-listing requests, and First-time-resolution alerts were not achieved.
 

Reports

For the bank to manage multiple locations and multiple teams across branches, zonal & regional offices and the contact centre, it required a robust reporting engine which could spill out various types of reports like data reports, graphical reports, matrix reports, escalation reports for the managers and management team. There was a need to have real time reports coming out of the CRM system to manage high level discrepancies and concerns in the bank processes. There was a need to integrate with various banking systems via secure line for generating such reports in the CRM system.
