Helping Singapore’s Leading Private Healthcare Group, Migrate and Upgrade their On-Premise Contact Centre to a Centralised Cloud Omni-channel Contact Centre System
The Client
In Singapore, they are the leading private healthcare group offering a wide range of healthcare services from primary to quaternary care as well as ancillary services and medical education.
Challenges
The client has a number of hospitals, clinics, and specialist. They have a group of call centre agents that are responsible for answering a multitude of engagements types, documenting them into tickets and escalating them to the relevant business processes. To deliver the best-in-class customer experience, the client is set to undergo a digital transformation for their on-premise contact centre platform into cloud omnichannel. Below are among some of the problems they faced:
Challenge #1: Silo-Based System, Not Unified
No advanced capability in their silo-based system. They also risk of hardware support from phasing out. Hardware upgrades with new capabilities will have to consider the integration setup compatibility with other system vendors.
Challenge #2: On-Premise Setup, Not flexible
System setup is on-premise with complex integrations, this leaves a huge hardware footprint. Agents have to be physically on-site to handle calls, lacking the flexibility for remote work.
Challenge #3: High Cost and Not Scalable
The high cost of maintenance of multiple vendors and systems across the different hospitals and business units. Costly to integrate between multiple systems with the limitation of hardware scalability.
Challenge #4: Not Future-proof
Constantly being held back by the limitations on features and stuck to back-dated technologies, dependent on system hardware.
Challenge #5: Manual Processes
Processes are scattered, not unified into one platform. Processes are still pen and paper, digitising it will shorten the precious time, which can potentially be life-saving.
The Solution
The Transformation from Traditional On-Premise Contact Center to a Cloud Omnichannel Contact Center.
During this project, we have helped the client eliminate multiple standalone silo systems such as the phone system, IVR and Voice Recording. All interactions from multiple channels are unified into a centralised queue system for the Call Center, We have also streamlined their processes for the entire end-to-end customer engagement journey from appointment booking, case escalation, SLA tracking, corporate services, executive health screening, doctor scheduling, lab and radiology report results, VIP services and including the ambulance tracking and management module. This is all achieved with the seamless integration of Nubitel CX Omnichannel Contact Center Solution, NubiDesk Case Management System, and NubiTrack Workforce Tracking Solution, all under the Nubitel Ecosystem.
Nubitel CX Omnichannel Contact Center Solution was deployed in a single setup to serve their multiple entities for customer inquiries from different interaction channels such as calls, email, chat, and social media. All interactions are put in a centralised queue and handled by the customer service team. Supervisors are able to monitor agent interactions, manage the Service Level Agreement (SLA) , and manage agent rostering. All interactions with customers are recorded and documented into a case and distributed accordingly across multiple departments, business units & hospitals based on the client’s interaction requirements.
With each of the entity having its own processes, routing and reporting, the NubiDesk Case Management System (CMS) was bespoke to support their process to track, retrieve and update data. Below are among some of the modules we have built for them:
