Opportunity

With a global footprint and a rapidly developing business, Jabraā€™s support specialists are busy around the world in the companyā€™s contact centers. Mark Pritchard, Senior Platform & Automation Consultant at Jabra, is responsible for managing the global configuration for the companyā€™s voice platform. He says Jabra was looking for a product to help further reduce customer hold times and lower abandon rates in their contact centers.

Initially, Jabra sought a callback solution to support their enterprise-level customers and was particularly interested in offering Verint Callback* online. If pilots were successful, they would consider deploying the callback feature to the rest of the companyā€™s contact centers.

* Formerly offered as Fonolo Web Call-back.

Solution

Jabra needed a solution that required no further development and could be scaled moving forward as the business required. It was quickly evident that Verint could provide the features Jabra needed.

Pritchard says, ā€œThe solution worked on in-house within Jabra worked well, but it took a tremendous effort to develop and maintain. It also lacked key features like scheduled callbacks and an agile and cohesive admin portal.ā€

Jabra needed a solution to reduce hold times, lower abandon rates, and work seamlessly in an Amazon Connect environment, while also being more intuitive and robust compared to other solutions experienced in the past.

Pritchard says Jabra piloted Verint Callback as a premium customer care service for enterprise customers. After successfully testing the system in Europe, they followed up with a US pilot on a busy consumer line. He says feedback from customers and contact center staff during the pilot programs was very positive from the beginning.

ā€œOur Jabra support specialists found callbacks extremely easy to use and not cumbersome at all,ā€ notes Pritchard. ā€œThey were just receiving a normal phone call in the same way they receive any other call.ā€

Customers loved it, too. ā€œThe customer feedback was even better than weā€™d hoped. We had a lot of customers requesting a callback and requests increased over time as the solution was deployed across phone queues.ā€

Pritchard says that Verint stood out when compared against other vendors or solutions that could be developed using tools in the marketplace. Other solutions needed improvements with their web callbacks and scheduled callback functionality. They also required extensive development time.

ā€œIf I look at what weā€™re able to do with [Verint] and what I would have to do in other solutions, it would have taken many hours of development and consultancy to reach the same results,ā€ says Mark.

ā€œWe have deployed multiple successful solutions as part of our support ecosystem in the last 10 years and [Verint] has been one of the solutions which positively contributed to improving the overall customer experience.ā€

Benefits

Jabraā€™s goal to enhance their already-strong customer service by lowering abandon rates was realized almost immediately after launching Verint. Pritchard says impressive results were evident after a single day.

Verint also worked with Jabra to provide support in multiple languages. The collaboration helps ensure a seamless experience for customers as they travel through Amazon Connect into Verint by using Amazon voices ā€” which match the same voices used in Amazon Pollyā€™s text- to-speech service.

Pritchard was impressed with Verintā€™s commitment to fully understanding Jabraā€™s business and swift and thorough problem resolution. He says the support he has received from Verintā€™s customer success engineers has been excellent.

ā€œ[Verint] thought of the journey, and it really complements our setup and our ability to give our customers and teams a better experience in a key channel,ā€ says Pritchard. ā€œThe customer feedback was even better than weā€™d hoped. We had a lot of customers requesting a callback and requests increased over time as the solution was deployed across phone queues.ā€
