Colt INteractiv Call Suite Solution extension to 13 European countries enables effective management of customer interactions across multiple markets
London, 16 September 2015 – Colt today announced the extension of the Colt INteractiv Call Suite Solution to 13 countries across Western Europe to meet the growing demand from multinational customers looking to optimise their customer services in different markets. These cloud-based customer contact services – which range from non-geographical numbers to a virtual contact centre – enable businesses to better manage all their customer calls, via any type of device or channel, across multiple regions.
The Colt INteractiv Call Suite can be tailored for the specific requirements of companies in sectors including travel & hospitality, ecommerce, retail and insurance. It has been available Southern Europe since 2011 and is being used by companies including Europcar, Office Depot and Louvres Hotels to support their customer services.
Steve Nosworthy, senior manager of voice services at Colt, said: “In the digital economy, enterprises are under increasing pressure to cope with multi-channel interactions and sharp peaks in demand – while aging technology and a workforce that is dispersed across multiple countries create additional challenges. Colt’s solution can be readily deployed across Western Europe to complement or replace existing customer contact functions or related infrastructure with cloud-based services, without any hardware or software installation. Enterprise ccustomers pay for what they use, with no annual maintenance charges, and have a single point of control.”
Jean-Luc Gérard, sales manager for the Colt INteractiv Call Suite, added: “Nowadays, an organisation’s customers or prospects expect to be able to make contact whenever and however they want, and get an immediate response. This makes the contact centre key to businesses’ customer retention strategies. Businesses need to be more flexible and innovative – often with a reduced budget. With Colt INteractiv Call Suite, a host of advanced features that only large-scale operations could afford before are now available to everyone.”
Colt INteractiv Call Suite’s key benefits include improved contact centre productivity, reduced costs and enhanced customer retention.
