When it comes to increase sales and enhance customer service, Air China, one of the leading airlines of the country, has relied on Avaya's (News - Alert) intelligent communications solutions. Since the deployment of advanced contact center technologies in August 2006, Air China's Telephone Sales and Services Center has achieved revenue increase of nearly 300 percent.

 

Avaya's intelligent communications solutions have made the center more attentive in responding to customer demands and offering personalized services. Thanks to the new system, customer calls can be routed to the agents with the right skills flawlessly. In return, customers get timely and personalized services from Air China's 300 agents in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu on flight bookings, seat upgrades, VIP services, or consulting.     

 

"The new system has made us more intelligent in handling customer inquiries and fulfilling transactions," said Huang Feng, senior manager of Telephone Sales and Services Center, Air China. "As a result, the Center has become a strategic asset that greatly boosts our sales and client services ability."

 

Air China has plans to expand the system and deploy more applications so as to integrate the center with business applications. Thus, the company aims to become more agile and efficient in serving customers.
