Call Centre Management System

Objective

Primary Objective is to help the Customers (Dealers) in terms of providing assistance at right time.

Secondary Objectives shall be, to capture and maintain the Customer Problems on the usage of the product, to manage & track the calls till its closure. Analyzing the average timing of handling the calls, analyzing the support executive’s performance and analyzing the technical & logical strength of the product for which the support function is being managed.

Also the utilization of support resource as well the assignment of right calls to right person shall be assessed. Daily management of Call Centre including, leave management and attendance shall be incorporated in the system so that no separate documentation required for those things.

Functional Flow of the System

There will be a product in place (DMS) used by large number of people. To provide support and assistance there will be a Call Centre running at the factory premises. Whenever the user faced any issue in the usage of the product he can take the assistance from the Call Centre by making a call or by any other mode of communication. There will be a Call number assigned and intimated to the user to track his call.

The call will be assigned to any one of the Support Executives sitting at the Call Centre for getting it resolved. Assignment of call to the SE will be done on the basis of the nature / categorization of the call. As soon as the SE gets the allotted call he will go thru the description of the issue and provide solution for it.

If the issue is beyond the scope of the SE he will escalate it to his higher authorities and intimate the customer that the solution will be provided to him as soon as it got resolved by the escalated person. If the call is a new requirement or suggestion related thing, it also will be escalated in the same way.

From the time of logging the call, the status of the call shall be maintained with unique terminology on every stage so that the user can see the status of his call. Closing of a call will be in the hands of the user (who logged it) even after resolution so that the operation will be transparent. Till the time the user satisfied with the solution provided he don’t need to close the call so that it will be under the responsibility of the SE.

There will be multiple calls assigned / attended by the SE concurrently and there may be multiple open calls by any user at the same of time. Time taken for resolving the call by each SE will be tracked and the category / sub category / Type of calls will be analyzed during any period of interval.
