Credit Union Call Center Reduces Abandoned Calls by Over 40% With Fonolo Call-Back Solution
TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Fonolo, the leading provider of cloud-based call-back solutions, has released a report in partnership with the Credit Union of Colorado (CUofCO), entitled "How a Credit Union Reduced Abandon Rates and Improved the Member Experience".
Like many credit unions, CUofCO's call center faced high demand from their customer base. Despite signing on with Fonolo for their call-back solution in 2015 and reducing their abandonment rates by 40%, the company made the decision to switch to Cisco Finesse, a similar call-back solution offered within their existing platform at no additional cost.
In 2019, CUofCO converted to a digital banking platform resulting in dramatic call spikes. Their call-back system could not handle the increased demand, resulting in ignored call-back requests and overwhelmed call center agents. Due to these challenges, CUofCO returned to Fonolo, and have since experienced significantly reduced average handle times, greatly improved members' service experience, and much happier managers and employees.
"The people at Fonolo and their level of commitment gave me the confidence in reaching out to them in our time of need," says Laura Reinhold, MSCC Director at the Credit Union of Colorado. "The MSCC leadership and the members are happy that we once again have Fonolo as our call-back solution. We're excited to have real-time call data again, and we're grateful to have a business partner we can trust."
"Working with the Credit Union of Colorado has been very fulfilling," says Shai Berger, CEO, Fonolo. "At Fonolo, we're always aiming to provide the best experience possible for our clients and their customers — to see such positive results attributed to our call-back software really affirms the value we bring to call centers."
