Akbank Design Studio and Service Design · CLIENT: Akbank
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.
