Edenred Portugal, a subsidiary of the world’s leading group of prepaid solutions for businesses and the creator of the meal card, invests in the modernization and optimization of its customer service through innovative tools and agile processes. Its goal is clear: to provide customers a fast and easy-to-access communication channels that are fully integrated with their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, allowing customers to have a personalized and efficient service.
Talkdesk, the enterprise contact center platform, together with Vodafone Portugal, was selected to implement this service, which enables Edenred Portugal to integrate its customer management system with its customer service.
Mauro Borochovicius, General Manager of Edenred in Portugal, said, “With this investment we intend to provide a best in class service for the client companies that benefit from our services, reducing the customers’ waiting times, increasing the efficiency in the resolution of incidents, improving the internal procedures and, consequently, guaranteeing a high quality differentiating service.”
Annually, Edenred Portugal manages more than one hundred thousand telephone interactions, which generates about a quarter of a million interactions with the customer management system. This complexity required searching for a solution that would allow the optimization of processes and relationships with customers and partners and, at the same time, allow optimization of costs.
Marco Costa, General Manager of Talkdesk for EMEA, said, “Relying on Edenred in our customer portfolio confirms the quality of our solutions, which are experienced by a growing number of large companies. The confidence that Edenred is placing in our team is a result of the work we do every day and the added value our solutions guarantee to our customers.”
This is the first partnership between Talkdesk and Vodafone and its success opens the door to future businesses between these two companies that excel at innovation. “The Edenred project has created synergies between Talkdesk, where the best solutions for contact centers are developed, and a telecommunications giant in Portugal and throughout Europe, such as Vodafone. We are very excited about the products that can arise from this synergy,” added Costa.
"Edenred is a great example of innovation and success as the integration between the Cloud PBX based on the Vodafone One Net solution and the Talkdesk Contact Center solution results in an increased ability to deliver high call volumes with optimization of waiting times and efficiency in resolving customer orders. This integration between these two solutions in the Cloud can be easily replicated in customers with an equally complex and challenging management ecosystem."
