1. What were the primary reasons behind your decision to choose next4biz as your customer care management software?
“next4biz is a quite user-friendly software that incorporates all functions (escalation structure, workflows, etc.) that are needed in a notification management system. It is also a great advantage that work processes or flows from different departments can be changed by users without IT support. next4biz stands head and shoulders above other products in regards to these aspects.”
2. Have you integrated next4biz into your current systems? What have been the primary beneficial aspects of these integrations?
“We have integrated next4biz into our current CRM system, and this has allowed us to ensure customer singularity and individualization. We transfer customer details from the CRM system to next4biz without having to create a new database for all customers. This makes submitting issues easier for users and allows us to store similar customer details on both systems.”
3. What have been the advantages of being able to pre-design your complaint resolution processes?
4. Do you find next4biz a flexible product? What would be the best examples of its flexibility?
“Yes, it is quite flexible. Flows, category definitions, and basic process operations such as identifying new areas are done easily using the software. For example, defining a new category and creating user groups and flows for this category is a quite simple process. These operations can be done easily by an admin defined within the department without IT support.”
5. Does next4biz lessen dependency on IT experts and software developers? For instance, does you ever need extra support amending processes or adding new fields to the screen?
6. What has been the reaction from your customers after starting to use next4biz? How would you rate the increases in efficiency you have witnessed in your notification management processes?
“Customers, indeed, expect fast and quality service from companies. The only consequence of not being able to instantly access on the system the details of a customer who is telling you that he has contacted you before to communicate a demand or a complaint and then share with him the results of his query is loss of reputation. Managing customer messages, performing certain SLAs, updating customers at certain intervals on the status of their queries and customer-based logging of these processes are no longer regarded as a premium service; it is something all customers expect from you.
“Since starting to use the next4biz, we have witnessed a serious reduction in the length of our complaint resolution processes as well as in the workload of users thanks to the user-friendly screens.
“Apart from that, as we mentioned before, its flexible structure allows you to make quick decisions and implement them on the system in addition to reporting the results.”
7. How would you compare the current state of your customer management operations to their previous state without next4biz?
“Prior to our transition to next4biz, we had a platform operated by the IT department. Following our transition to next4biz, we now have a notification management system which is operated by various departments.
