Outsourced contact centre chooses Amcat to automate results-driven campaigns and boost productivity by 100%

Oklahoma City, USA /Manchester, UK, 8th May, 2007 – Amcat, a global leader in customer care & interaction solutions has been chosen by Northampton-based independent outsourced contact centre provider, Telmart, to supply its Contact Centre Suite solution. The technology will enable the telemarketing specialist to move from a manual dialling environment, double productivity of staff and achieve better results for its clients ranging from blue chip organisations to SMEs.

Financial Director at Telmart Raj Ladwa comments, “Prior to using Amcat we were using manual dialling for our outbound B2B and B2C campaigns. Although this produced good results we realised that around 50% of agents’ time was being wasted, trying to get through to people that were not available. The majority of the campaigns that we run on behalf of our customers are paid by results, so we recognised that technology could help us increase the volume of successful contacts made. Also because Amcat’s system integrates directly into our central database, our agents have all the information they need at their fingertips.”

He added, “Compared with rival solutions, Amcat’s technology is very easy to both use and manage, so it is straightforward to train new staff and you do not need a dedicated in-house IT resource to support it. Productivity on our outbound campaigns has risen by 100%, and combining this with reduced operational costs will ensure a return on investment within 12 months.”

Initially Telmart will use Amcat technology to support outbound calling, but plans to use the inbound/blending capabilities of Contact Centre Suite later this year. The company also uses Amcat’s in-built digitised recording to monitor calls and help with staff training.
