Panviva system implemented by Stellar BPO group

Business IT - Technology

Australian-based Panviva, a global provider of business process guidance systems (BPG), has snagged a deal to supply its SupportPoint system to business process outsourcing group, Stellar.

The contract provides for Melbourne company Panviva’s BPG software to be implemented by Stellar to assist its customer service representatives to manage customer relationships on behalf of one of their major clients, a leading Australian gas and electricity retailer.

Stellar CIO Warwick Marx says SupportPoint was chosen to help reduce the time CSRs spend searching multiple databases and applications for information, improving customer experience and the efficiency of the service as well as reducing errors.
 
“A key reason for selecting SupportPoint is the fact that the system is agent specific, allowing Stellar to analyse how agents are using the system and develop targeted training and coaching programs to close skill gaps.

“It also provides a platform for communication of changes to processes or procedures, online quizzes and other learning tools and links to appropriate web sites or other materials as necessary.”

Marx says Stellar operates 19 outsourcing centres around the world that collectively employ over 6,000 staff, and one of the challenges commonly faced by any call centre operator was providing staff with the ability to navigate to product and business process information in a timely and intuitive manner.
