Zain has relied on the powerful features and capabilities of BMC solutions for its core applications, which are used extensively by call center agents, branches, shops, and distributors to support the biggest customer base in Kuwait.
As part of an industry that experiences rapid technology changes and ongoing evolution, Zain wanted to maximize its technology investments to deliver experiences to customers that make their lives easier—and give its service agents world-class solutions to make that happen.
Zain selected BMC Helix for Customer Service Management, a comprehensive solution that empowers Zain agents to deliver omnichannel customer support across traditional and digital channels. The collaborative platform also allows the entire organization to be customer centric and ensure that every customer challenge is met quickly and handled professionally.
Built-in reporting and dashboards work twofold—monitoring and measuring agent performance and skill levels to help managers understand which agents need more training so they can continuously improve their performance, and creating strategic operational reports for sharing out to top management.
The BMC solution has enabled 30 smooth and seamless integrations with Zain’s core systems, giving agents a 360-degree view of customers across all touchpoints and departments. By allowing agents to focus on the customer instead of navigating through various screens to access customer details, agents have boosted their efficiency by 21 percent and reduced their service time.
Additional beneficial features include:
Zain values BMC as a partner in its success and plans to continue working together to create better experiences for its agents and customers. This includes gathering data and performance metrics to help Zain meet critical customer service objectives such as an improved Net Promoter Score (NPS).
