OmPrompt Helps CML Automate, Reduce Errors and Win Major Account within Three Months

OXFORD, England, September 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



CML Fulfilment and Logistics adopt OmPrompt Customer Automation Management to improve service, reduce errors and service new business with released resource.

Errors cost above the average in the chilled foods business.  Take a product that must be maintained at a safe temperature, has short shelf-life, cannot be returned if mis-shipped, and a single error may well cost upwards of three hundred pounds.

After seeing OmPrompt Order Automation in action at Arla Foods, CML CEO Tim Middleham saw an opportunity to speed up the process and release valuable customer service resource from manual order entry work.  "We have a sophisticated regime of KPIs in place for our customer service representatives but found that even with rigorous error checking - to counter mistakes that impact both our service and our bottom line - it was difficult to break upwards of our plateau of 97% accuracy.  We also had new business opportunities that we wanted to serve without hiring new heads.   Order Automation is part of the OmPrompt Customer Automation Management platform; it removes the need for humans to workaround gaps in process and technology, in this case the no touch automation of purchase orders.  It was the solution to our problem because it removed the opportunity for errors introduced by rekeying and left our CSRs with more time to service that new business."

Chilled-food specialist CML Fulfilment and Logistics has multi-use (ambient, chilled or frozen) warehouse facilities in Telford and is a designated hub for Aldi.  CML provide storage and distribution for many different suppliers.

The initial OmPrompt project set-up began in November 2012 and completed three months later with a major new account (impressed by these new efficiencies) signed and on-board.  Tim Middleham comments, "OmPrompt helped us cut errors and credits and deliver scalability, as a result a number of large PLCs are now talking to us about their businesses."
