Cloud PBX: Facilitating A Remote, Contactless and Integrated Customer Contact Centre
Industry
Fast Food Chain
Client
One of the largest multinational fast food chains in Malaysia with hundreds of stores nationwide.
Background
While the COVID-19 pandemic caused hardship for many businesses, those offering takeaway and delivery food services saw an unprecedented uptick in orders. Players in this space had to quickly adjust their business strategies to cope with the resulting demand.
The Challenges
The lockdown and remote working trend necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic were an unexpected reality check for organizations.
Since the first MCO, the Client has had to deal with numerous challenges, including a tremendous increase in phone and online orders, manpower shortage, a work-from-home workforce and adhering to public health SOPs.
Close to 100 of their contact agents were forced to work remotely. The Client needed to urgently set up a Cloud phone system with easy-to-use features while maintaining their existing hotline number and ensuring a smooth transition.
The Solutions
Migrate to REDtone SIP Trunk and Cloud PBX, a feature-rich business grade phone system designed to boost productivity.
REDtone’s SIP solutions were implemented by establishing VPN tunnelling connected to the Client’s office network. The service was up and running within 5 working days. All implementation work was carried out at midnight to avoid service interruption. The complexity of setting up and managing the infrastructure is taken away from their IT personnel.
The Client was impressed with the REDtone team’s dedication and their ability to deliver on the tasks assigned within such a short span of time. As a result, the Client made the swift decision to migrate their entire phone system to REDtone Cloud PBX after only the second month.
REDtone Cloud PBX is a fully managed, enterprise-grade phone system designed to help businesses communicate reliably without the need for large capital investments/expenses or maintenance fees. It offers customers a fully virtualized solution, together with the advanced features set. The call center team, though working remotely, was equipped with a simple and intuitive call center management system which offers the full-fledged information a call center requires, such as live reporting and dashboard views of performance data, both real-time and historical. It enables supervisors to plan and manage their resources effectively. System management and upgrades are handled virtually, with an SLA of 99.7%. Additional tech and customer support are available 24/7.
