SAO PAULO, BRAZIL --(Marketwired - September 28, 2016) - Avaya announced today that Maringa Tourism, one of Brazil's largest travel agencies specializing in business travel management, has implemented a new Avaya contact center solution to improve the customer experience and service provided by its growing business.
As part of the Arbaitman Group along with other subsidiaries, Central Events and Lemontech, Maringa Tourism employs more than 500 employees in offices across the country. As the company expanded, it needed a communication and collaboration solution that offered the necessary controls to speed and enhance call handling, quality assurance and customer service and reduce costs.
Implemented by Avaya channel partner, Belltech, an Avaya IP Office Contact Center provided a number of benefits to Maringa Tourism as well as the other two companies in the group:
- Improved quality control through remote monitoring of calls in all offices, including Central Events and Lemontech.
- Faster handling of inquires through automated call routing based on customers' need that also reduces costs.
- Simplified production and access to more detailed management reports with such information as call volume by location, monitoring and SLA adherence, now available online from any location.
- Increased mobility for executives with an IP soft phone, enabling them to keep up with important calls and contacts while traveling.
Quotes
"Prior to deploying Avaya IP Office, we needed a receptionist at each branch to receive all calls and refer to the service groups. Today, we have a solution that automates the entire process, and we can still measure each customer interaction by controlling the waiting times and service line in a much better way. Moreover, the interconnection of subsidiaries and group companies is another advantage of the Avaya IP Office Contact Center solution."
Alexandre de Castro, Vice President of Maringa Tourism
