OnDemand Customer Services
Supporting your service delivery with a flexible approach to contact centre services
With the ongoing pressure to do more with less, contact centres now face a number of constraints whilst being expected to consistently improve service delivery.
We manage customer service operations nationwide, handling over 3.5m calls per year, with a proven multi-channel model, including telephony, webchat, social media, email, white mail and face-to-face service delivery.
Why Civica?
We focus on building long-term relationships with our customers, and understand that although there is often commonality within our customer base, each one is individual. That’s why we offer a flexible service to suit any project size or length from a couple of agents to handle overflow calls during a peak period to a fully managed contact centre.
Civica has developed a Customer Services Target Operating Model (TOM) to ensure transformation and ongoing service delivery achieve the best possible outcomes for our partners and their customers.
Organisations that we work with benefit from a central support structure, which includes solutions and workforce management teams providing additional expertise and capacity to help achieve a high-quality customer experience and business objectives.
Due to the number of people we serve daily, and the scale of the infrastructure we manage across the country, our customer service operation is vital. We chose Civica because of its track record and excellent customer service offering, which includes the ability to deliver a multi-channel, inclusive platform." Andy White, Customer Service Director, Network Rail
