About AsiaCell
AsiaCell is a provider of mobile telecommunications services in Iraq. It is operating since 2015 and providing coverage across all of Iraq’s 19 governorates including the national capital Baghdad and all other major Iraqi cities.
Asiacell’s network covers 99% of the Iraqi population which makes its national coverage the widest among the mobile operators in Iraq.
Asiacell is known for its state-of-the-art customer service 24/7 facility. The dedicated team of the company ensures to stay available for its customers all the time and resolves their issues.
The Opportunity:
Asiacell maintains its exceptional customer service through 21000 points of sales and outlets throughout the country. However, it is a greater challenge to manage the customer flow at this big number of retail and franchise outlets.
The footfall of customers at different branches of AsiaCell was getting difficult to manage without proper facilitation of customer flow management solutions and support systems. Also, the company struggled to achieve a centralized updated system with a high ratio of support that offers live data on correct branches.
AsiaCell strives to smoothly run regular employee operations throughout its service centers to better serve the customers and streamline the services.
Thus, the telecommunication company sought a personalized solution to reduce customer complaints, generated as a result of the delay in service provision, a standard queue management solution is implemented and self-service kiosks are provided.
