Agero call centers in 2012  engaged in over 190 million minutes of total inbound and outbound calls with vehicle owners seeking emergency roadside assistance, travel directions and other vehicle-related issues.

 Agero response specialists at three of its six centers also field calls and manage data associated with automated calls activated by airbag deployments, integrating information collected from both vehicle sensors, subscriber-provided information and on-scene reporting for routing to the correct 9-1-1 centers with jurisdiction at the accident scene.  Almost all Agero services are provided through customized programs operating under the brand names of automobile manufacturers and insurers.

"Our growth in call volume reflects the increasingly close relationship that automobile manufacturers and insurers are developing with their customers and policyholders," said Robert Camacho, Agero's vice president of Contact Center Operations.  "Agero plays a critical role in building those relationships because we are often the face of our clients' companies when one of their customers has something go wrong, are often under duress, and need immediate response. It is up to us to turn an immediate, bad experience into one that becomes a positive, long-term customer experience with the brand."

Agero operates contact centers in Clarksville, Tenn.; Irving, Texas; Medford, Mass.; Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario; Sebring, Fla.; and Tucson, Ariz.
