The Obstacle

Norton Lambrianos’ biggest problem was the volume of customers they needed to contact. This means the company only had enough time to work through their database from top to bottom once. If a customer was not contacted the first time the chance of them being contacted again is unlikely due to the lack of time. Norton Lambrianos compete with other companies on the same books and have a high rating from their customers which puts them in good stead.

Norton Lambrianos would send SMS’ to customers that they could not contact telephonically. This necessitated a solution that could accommodate blended agents to receive the customers calls.

Conversations were not being recorded and there was no quality management framework in place.

The Answer

Aspect EnsemblePro was the solution of choice for Norton Lambrianos. EnsemblePro is a Unified Contact Centre Solution which provides flexible, powerful outbound automatic dialing with world class campaign management functionality, as well as Automatic Call Distribution, IVR, Self Service, Voice Recording and unified management and reporting.

Aspect EnsemblePro provides your contact center with access to real-time information on customer history and preferences, enabling you to enhance key business processes of customer service, collections, and sales and telemarketing. This solution delivers rich, actionable information, which drives performance across your contact center. Through centralized management, you can arm your organization with dynamic customer data that leads to informed decisions, and can ultimately provide you with a significant competitive advantage.

Aspect EnsemblePro gives you the flexibility to make real-time modifications to your contact center as business needs dictate. Administrators and supervisors can make dynamic changes to system settings like call flows or agent properties, as they manage contact center service levels. Agents can be moved to areas of greater need as required. Modifications take effect with the very next contact-with no need to stop and start systems, campaigns or services.

Aspect EnsemblePro connects to, enhances and unifies your existing contact center solutions to provide new capabilities and investment protection. Aspect EnsemblePro leverages your existing infrastructure by taking advantage of common telephony resources, allowing your contact center to provide unified functionality, regardless of the underlying telephony deployed.

The Outcome

The ability to switch from predictive to preview campaigns has enabled Norton Lambrianos to get an average of over 3 database passes with the same number of employees.

With Norton Lambrianos seeing such improvements in productivity, they are now in a commanding lead with regards to the companies they are in direct competition with. They have also increased their connect rate to customers while maintaining the same staff numbers.

The unified EnsemblePro suite allowed Norton Lambrianos to report across the now blended agents, as well as split the agents into workgroups to work on smaller campaigns as and when required. The flexibility of the system has provided significant results for Norton Lambrianos in productivity as well as having a positive effect on their bottom line.
