Arcadia Group Customer
Services Contact
With over 2,200 outlets in high streets and shopping
centres throughout the country, Arcadia Group is the UK's
second largest clothing retailer. Today, the Group reaches
its customers through household brands such as Dorothy
Perkins, Burton, Principles and Top Shop, as well as Home
Shopping, the Internet and a growing number of international
stores. The Group now employs over 30,000 people worldwide
and generates sales of over £1.4 billion. As the Contact
Centre grew, a more sophisticated call recording and
monitoring device was needed. Current recording equipment
put the emphasis of recording a call onto the agent and it
was almost impossible to isolate and identify a particular
call. Increasing numbers of agents merely exacerbated the
problem. In addition, as new staff joined, Arcadia needed to
be able to use call recording as part of their ongoing
quality monitoring process to ensure that new recruits were
performing to the standards expected of them. Arcadia
chose Empathy’s Eventra as the product best suited to their
requirements.
Barnett & Barnett
An independent insurance broker based in West London,
Established over 70 years ago, Barnett &
Barnett is a privately owned broker. Primarily serving the
commercial sector, Barnett & Barnett specialises in
providing a one stop shop for insurance based requirements.
Its cost-effective, carefully selected products include
solutions for risk and insurance management, and financial
services. After a rare but not insignificant
misunderstanding over what was agreed in a telephone
conversation between one of the insurance companies Barnett
& Barnett works with, Neil Campling, Managing Director at
Barnett & Barnett knew it was time to invest in additional
technology
Building and Civil Engineering
B&CE was founded in 1942 to provide a central point for
administering holiday pay to employees working in building
and construction. Today its portfolio has grown to encompass
related financial services such as death in service
benefits, accident cover and retirement provision. It is the
UK's largest provider of stakeholder pensions, boasting a
membership greater than 190,000. The successful expansion of
its financial services product offerings and the tightening
of industry regulations has meant that B&CE is required to
record increasing numbers of telephone calls to comply with
industry guidelines. At the same time B&CE has also
recognised the need for employee quality monitoring to
ensure best service to its customers.
Dial-A-Phone
Since its inception, Dial-a-Phone has expanded quickly and
today boasts a call centre of approximately 350 seats, with
agents numbering more than 750 and daily calls in the region
of 20,000. With the majority of its business conducted via
the telephone and with major plans for expansion,
Dial-a-Phone knew its recording solutions needed updating.
The existing solutions were either nearing obsolescence, or
cumbersome and time-consuming to use. After reviewing a
number of systems, Dial-a-Phone chose Empathy's Eventra as
the best option because it provided a flexible, modular
recording solution which was easy to use, had a large
capacity for long-term storage at a competitive price and
was future proof.
MotorCycle Direct
MotorCycle Direct, a leading insurance provider for the UK
motorcycle insurance market, puts customer service
excellence at the top of its requirement list for a
successful business. Empathy's Eventra recording solution
was chosen to underpin and strengthen this success and
strategy.
PRSPCA
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA)
aims to promote kindness, prevent cruelty and alleviate
suffering to animals. Its effective network of Inspectors,
Animal Collection Officers, clinics, animal centres and
welfare centres goes some way to achieving this, however the
national cruelty and advice line and enquiries service also
plays a key role. To ensure calls to these service lines are
dealt with effectively, the RSPCA has chosen Empathy’s
IP-based recording solution, Eventra, to monitor and improve
this customer interface.
The Savoy Group
Comprises five of the world's most prestigious hotels and
associated businesses such as Simpson’s-in-the-Strand, the
Savoy Theatre and Edward Goodyear Florist, has always
believed its success and reputation as a leading hotelier is
attributable to high levels of guest satisfaction. To help
improve and enhance this philosophy in its Central
Reservations department, it has chosen Empathy's voice
recording solution.
The Mortgage Lender (TML)
