Avaya enables leading sports equipment maker to shave response times to seconds, increase productivity, build better relationships
Santa Clara, Calif. – March 16, 2017 - In competitive sports, a fraction of a second can make the difference between a first-place champion and the runner-up. For the sales arm of the globally-renowned sports equipment company, Head Germany Gmbh, switching to Avaya shaved customer response times to seconds and took several minutes – in some cases, hours - off administration tasks, all while providing better information to drive continuous improvement in its relationships and service center.
Head Germany Gmbh supports more than 2,200 sporting goods retailers in Germany and Austria, providing highly sought after lines of equipment for skiers, snowboarders, tennis and other paddle sports as well as swimming. Favored by a number of well-known athletes, including Lindsay Vonn, Head fine tunes its equipment to help ensure they have the edge needed to claim the trophy.
The company recognized its customer support operations needed fine tuning to match the brand promise: its legacy system severely lacked the efficiency to handle the volume of calls received, administration and management was excessively cumbersome, and information that could help improve operations just wasn’t adequate.
A changeover to Avaya IP Office and Avaya Customer Engagement solutions made all the difference. Gains made after implementation include:
‘‘Avaya provides the foundation for highly flexible and personalized communications processes at our Service Center. Thanks to Avaya, we are creating a personal link to our customers, because no matter when a dealer calls, they always connect automatically with a trusted adviser. Now, 98 percent of all calls arrive with the designated agent within a few seconds. The remaining callers wait a maximum of one minute for their call partner.”
Helga Geißler, Manager HR/Customer Service AT/DE, Head Germany GmbH
