Beyond Bank delivers next-generation service and increases customer and employee satisfaction with Genesys<\/strong> Cloud CX<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Genesys and QPC partnered to produce a seamless transition for bank staff and improve the experience of its customers immediately<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section css=”.vc_custom_1572297878492{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

As Australia\u2019s leading customer-owned financial institution, Beyond Bank recognised an upgrade to its contact centre platform was key to meeting the next-generation needs of its customers. For Beyond Bank, it was important to review its ageing system and ensure the bank lived up to its promise to exceed customers\u2019 expectations every day. Its legacy contact centre platform had seen little investment in the past ten years and was unable to respond quickly to the rapidly changing needs and future requirements of its savvy customers.<\/p>\n

Following a highly selective tender process, Beyond Bank chose to partner with Genesys<\/a>\u00ae, the global leader in cloud customer experience<\/a> and contact centre solutions<\/a>, and its Value-Added Reseller, QPC Australia, to modernise its customer engagement system. It chose Genesys Cloud\u2122 for its broad range of features and functionality.<\/p>\n

Brent Alexander, National Manager at Beyond Bank, said: \u201cWe liked that Genesys is aligned with our values, with both organisations\u2019 belief in viewing everything through a customer lens is key to delivering differentiated experiences. Today, that requires continual innovation, which is exactly what Genesys Cloud helps us achieve through its robust capabilities and continuous release of new features and enhancements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results that speak for themselves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally expecting it would take up to six months to see tangible benefits from the new Genesys Cloud platform, Beyond Bank experienced immediate results and huge improvements in meeting their contact centre key performance indicators (KPIs). Almost overnight, the organisation saw a 30 second, or 17%, reduction in average call times. This enabled the team to answer more calls efficiently and reallocate their extra capacity to strengthening customer relationships. This included offering additional services, such onboarding calls to create deeper relationships with Broker customers within 48 hours of customers being approved for loans. The fact that the platform integrated seamlessly into the bank\u2019s existing customer relationship management (CRM) system also had a positive impact on individual agent KPIs.<\/p>\n

The new platform has made it easier for the bank to predict staff rostering requirements and has greatly improved service-level standards by leveraging historical data to understand periods of peak demand.<\/p>\n

As a 100% customer-owned bank, each percentage point increase in customer satisfaction (CSAT) scores is a significant win for Beyond Bank. To drive improvements, the organisation enabled Genesys Cloud\u2019s skills-based routing capability for calls to be directed to the most closely matched and skilled agent available. This resulted in faster resolution of customer issues. Coupled with the other features, this led to a rapid jump in CSAT scores from 89% to 92% within 3 months of deployment. Also, Beyond Bank uses a 5-star rating methodology to gather customer feedback, meaning they now receive more 5-star ratings than 4-star ratings, resulting in 25% higher CSAT scores. This is a significant outcome for a bank that handles more than 350,000 customer interactions annually.<\/p>\n

Great employee experience = Great customer experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with creating strong results for its customers, Genesys Cloud has also had a positive impact on Beyond Bank\u2019s employees. While there was originally some staff uneasiness around changing to a new contact centre platform, the transition to a new system and intuitive design halved the expected training time. The sophisticated recording and quality assurance features also meant staff training and development could be better tailored to individual agents.<\/p>\n

With the outbreak of COVID-19 soon after implementing the new system, the timing proved to be critical. One unanticipated advantage of the new platform was the ease with which agents were able to work from home. When COVID-19 forced the country into lockdown in March, the Beyond Bank contact centre team was able to transition to remote work easily, ensuring employee health and wellbeing was maintained without a loss of employee productivity.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Alexander this was a perfect outcome: \u201cWorking with Genesys and QPC has made the transition to working in alternative ways and places seamless. When we needed support to make swift changes, like during the bushfires and the onset of COVID-19, they were there to help get things done immediately. \u00a0There is always someone there to assist us when we need it, they\u2019re with us for the long term, not just to make the sale. Customer experience is about getting things right fast and exceeding people\u2019s expectations. When you get it right, all the other stuff falls into place, and we saw that change almost immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Buckley, Vice President Australia and New Zealand, Genesys, commended Beyond Bank on their transformation. \u201cThe feedback we have received from Beyond Bank shows the importance of aligning with our customers\u2019 values to deliver exceptional customer experience. At the end of the day, what is most important is putting the customer first, meeting and surpassing their expectations. We look forward to supporting Beyond Bank in bringing meaningful contact centre transformation through Genesys Cloud and being able to assist in the important milestones as it continues to grow,\u201d said Mr Buckley.<\/p>\n
