NewVoiceMedia GmbH accelerates momentum in Europe with landmark customer FlixBus

NewVoiceMedia announced that FlixBus, Europe’s leading long-distance bus provider, is using its ContactWorld platform to enhance its contact centre operations and customer experience throughout Europe.

FlixBus signed a three-year agreement for NewVoiceMedia’s ContactWorld solution to replace unreliable, inflexible contact centre technology which didn’t provide omni-channel capabilities within Salesforce. NewVoiceMedia’s inside sales and contact centre technology integrates seamlessly with Salesforce to ensure all customer interactions are tracked and service levels measured, offering FlixBus communications that are complementary to its Salesforce system. The company selected ContactWorld to support its rapid global expansion, for its deep integration with Salesforce, global insights, comprehensive reporting and rich functionality, in order to offer the best possible experience for its European customer base served from multiple locations, while improving the satisfaction of its advisors.

With ContactWorld, the company’s customer service agents will now benefit from immediate access to a customer’s entire history of interactions and inbound calls can be intelligently managed and routed, ensuring callers are connected to the most appropriate consultant – improving handling time and customer satisfaction. With a true cloud environment, NewVoiceMedia also offers the company a flexible platform for growth and reduced capital investments.

Furthermore, advisors can log into the same system wherever they are, as all they need is a phone and internet connection, meaning they can work from multiple locations. The platform offers a real-time window into the entire contact centre operation, so advisors can be easily managed, and customisable, rich reports allow the company to understand where improvement opportunities exist.

Daniel Krauss, Founder and CIO of FlixBus, comments, “Following an extensive selection process, we are pleased to have chosen NewVoiceMedia as our long-term partner. We wanted a scalable, reliable, cloud solution with the best Salesforce integration on the market and were impressed with the features ContactWorld offers. Having all our customer communications and rich customer data together in one platform will completely transform the way we manage our customer service”.

Jonathan Gale, CEO of NewVoiceMedia, adds, “We’re delighted to be working with FlixBus, and accelerating our business throughout Europe. Our integration capabilities and scalable technology will help the company deliver a completely unique, personalised customer experience to thousands of customers around the world, while also improving advisor performance and satisfaction. And as a true cloud solution, FlixBus benefits from complete scalability as the business grows, as new functionality and consultants can be added in minutes”.
