Initial Situation
With around 2.5 million customers, ifolor has up to 9’000 customer service requests every week. Delighted customers are ifolor‘s ultimate goal, which is why customer service and its use cases are at the heart of the solution. In addition, the company is under intense competitive pressure from suppliers abroad. For these reasons, efficient and professional processing of customer inquiries is essential for the success of the company.
Solution
At ifolor, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Service was implemented as a contact center solution in order to systematically record and process customer service inquiries. The entire service area of Dynamics 365 served as the basis. In addition, the contact center employee can easily and quickly access a customer‘s orders and invoices in Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations from the application. This gives employees a 360° view
of the customer. The solution was also linked to the call center telephony solution to enable the automatic search of contacts in the CRM system. ifolor uses the possibilities of Dynamics 365 not only in Switzerland but also internationally.
