  1. Challenge

    METRO Сash & Carry decided to switch from In-House to Outsourced Call Center to improve quality and customer experience. It was necessary to ensure that the transition process is smooth and data is transferred in an easy and reliable way. We have implemented a CRM system that made maintaining customer profiles more convenient, increased the security of customer data and made it possible to support customers through multiple channels (calls, mail, social networks, internal customer resources) in one system.

    • High level of customer satisfaction
