Lighthouse drives a rise in DHL's customer satisfaction with a faster and more accurate information retrieval processes and improved “First Call Resolutions”

Challenge

DHL made a strategic decision to improve its customer service and opted to provide knowledge management capabilities to its call center agents. DHL requested a Knowledge Management (KM) platform that would integrate with other systems and provide fast access to accurate information during agent-customer interactions.

Solution

DHL selected Lighthouse software, which integrates with existing systems and provides streamline data management and retrieval. In addition, KMS Lighthouse cut agent training by 50%, reduced call duration, and average holding times. Through Lighthouse software, DHL’s global data and call centers around the world are all connected and synchronized. Following the implementation of Lighthouse, DHL saw improvements in the below areas:
Rise in customer satisfaction and overall better customer experience
Faster and more accurate information retrieval processes
Improved “First Call Resolutions”
Reduced total call duration and average holding times
Reduced training curve for new agents on procedures, regulations, rates, products, etc.
Reduced interactions in which inaccurate information had been provided to consumers

KMS lighthouse has dramatically reduced our call center operational costs and agents’ training time.
