Increasing Customer Satisfaction via iClick
iSolve has a solid Process Consulting and Technology Development Team that consistently innovates and implements new solutions. A case in point – some years ago when distributors in remote areas complained of power cuts hampering their work, iSolve implemented iClick, an Android app based Acquisition mode. This captures CAFs, Proof of Address (POA) and Proof of Identity (POI) as PDF, which can then be uploaded to iFlow. The Distributor is now able to use Mobiles / Tablets to quickly complete customer activations even without a PC. Besides capturing forms using a mobile camera, iClick is capable of combining CAF, POA and POI into a multipage PDF. “iClick has significantly improved the turnaround time in processing the CAFs leading to increased customer satisfaction. This is a clear case of a Telecom company effectively showcasing their product for own benefit!” adds Kishore Kumar, Head of Technology and Process Development.

No need to maintain excel sheets. I was employing 3 people only to track and a report daily sale, now this is all online,” says the owner of a leading Distributor. “iFlow has helped the Distribution Channel substantially optimize on operational costs and time.
