About Call Center Communication Platform

Call Center is a communication platform designed for a bank contact center. The platform supports agents during customer calls and chat requests. Customer needs are analyzed before, during and after each call, so many problems are solved at the source without a new call. Self service channels such as mobile applications, ATMs and voice response systems are included. Agents are guided by dashboards and analytics that direct each customer to the right station. A pause screen shows motivation messages between calls. The platform is responsive and available in English and Turkish.

Design Challenge
The agent can answer call and chat notification from customers parallely. The design should handle all needs in one shot so the agent manage the call easily. Also, the agents are very busy during the day. The question is how can the application can be kind and smart both in business and personal. When the agent wants to take a new call, the screen is reversed to the pause moments screen and the agent can see motivation or well being messages on there. This screen is created for take a breath.
Research
We had in depth interviews with customers and staff users to determine the needs and functions,. To understand the users needs and provide successful solutions, we used wide range of research methods like user interview, card sorting, design workshops. After these research we focus not only the customer experience during the call, but also before and after call and solved the problems.We got meaninful insights with these researches and use them to creating personas, customer journey mappings. To evaluate our design and observed users behaviors, we ran several user testing.
Inspiration
We want to make Akbank customer's and staff's experience better with all channels. Customer contact center is one of the channel of this process. After all the studies we have been thinking about how to make customer communication fast, intelligent, value based and simple. We have designed a proactive, fast and intelligent customer communication and sales tool that provides quick solutions, better quality services and intuitive experience designed to motivate staff encourage team collaboration
Project Duration
The project started in March 2019 in Istanbul and had first released in June 2020 in Istanbul. It is an ongoing process with updates depending on new needs.
Operation Flow
Firstly we try to solve the problem or need before become a call so we provide self services solutions as mobile, atm etc. If customer call us firstly we try to guess it's need and response in voice response system easily. If customer need connect to the agent we direct customers to right station faster according to its need and segmentation. During the call, agents are fed with dashboard, analytics intelligence and functions that will provide the fastest and proactive service to the customer
