Red Funnel Wins Technology Partnership of the Year With Mitel Solution

June 06, 2016

  • Staff better able to deal with customer communications and provide proactive customer service
  • Customer complaints decreased by 16 percent

Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW), a global leader in real-time business, cloud and mobile communications, was awarded Technology Partnership of the Year alongside its customer Red Funnel, the "Original Isle of Wight Ferry Operator." The announcement was made at the London & South East Contact Centre Awards in May.

With the mobile-first nature of today's consumer, Red Funnel increasingly found that customers were using new channels, such as social media, to interact with its brand. When it became apparent that its existing voice-only and reactive call center setup was no longer meeting the needs of the business, Red Funnel recognized the need to turn its call center into a more proactive, multi-channel customer engagement platform.

Mitel partnered with Red Funnel to deliver a foundational customer experience solution that would enable Red Funnel to communicate freely and easily with consumers in real-time. Building a customer-centric network, Mitel and Red Funnel's partnership aimed to boost the ferry operator's contact center productivity by enabling agents to handle customer interactions across any channel, including email and social media.

The London & South East Contact Centre Awards are held annually and recognize leaders in customer experience.
