MaxContact was named a winner in the Contact Centre Solution category of the 2019 Credit & Collections Technology Awards at a glittering collections industry gala dinner in mid-September 2019.
Judges praised MaxContact’s omnichannel approach to contact centre technologies as providing a “great one-stop shop solution to maximise efficiency” with a user-oriented design.
They were also impressed by MaxContact’s call centre technology’s ability to route calls intelligently, including aligning the skills of call centre agents with appropriate customers, all of which the judges said is a welcome addition to the tools available to credit and collections call centres.
By placing calls with the most capable call handlers, it improves outcomes including first-call resolution and total time to resolution, while ensuring staff feel that their talents are recognised and appreciated.
Meanwhile in the credit and collections industry in particular, it can also increase the total funds recovered over the course of a typical working day throughout the contact centre.
One judge commented on the triple-digit gains that can be made by implementing this technology in a contact centre that handles incoming and outgoing collections calls.
They noted the “excellent results that have led to a 123% increase in the collections per agent per day metric. Also good integration of inbound and outbound communication”.
Full marks
A total of four of the award’s judges ranked MaxContact as their outright winner, while three awarded the maximum possible score of ten out of ten for the company’s contact centre solutions.
Overall the average score awarded by the judges was over eight out of ten – making MaxContact a category winner with the best overall rank in the contact centre solutions award.
Even more of the judges mentioned the “excellent” capabilities of MaxContact call centre technologies, a word that was used again and again in their glittering feedback.
One said: “Excellent example of a system that makes the user’s job a lot easier,” while another praised the “excellent use of technology to rationalise and improve call centre quality of service”.
