Fault management with Bonita: 40% of cases are now resolved digitally.
Vodafone
The Vodafone Group is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world and provides voice, messaging, data and fixed communications services. Vodafone offers mobile services in 25 countries and has agreements in 44 other countries. In addition, it also provides fixed broadband services in 18 countries.
The company has more than 531 million mobile telephony customers worldwide and 20 million fixed broadband customers. In Spain, Vodafone has close to 14 million mobile telephony customers and 3.2 million fixed broadband customers.
Before Bonita
Vodafone had a conventional telephone fault management system, which was operated by agents who could solve issues only during customer service hours. This generated delays and frustration as there was no 24/7 service to solve customer issues in real time.
Objective of the project
The company decided to undertake an ambitious digitalization project so clients could manage service issues satisfactorily through digital channels.
Challenges
Vodafone was facing a paradigm shift: a drastic change from manual processes to automation to facilitate the management of its business processes. This project was developed around two needs: proximity to the customer and homogeneity in the handling of incidents.
Bonita implementation
Bonita automated and facilitated the issue management system.
When the client detects an incident affecting services, they can resolve it through the private area of the Mi Vodafone application, which is connected to Bonita to orchestrate the tasks. Through diagnostic flows, the problem is identified, a series of guidelines are provided, corrections are made through remote connections, and the issue is resolved.
Bonita uses graphic diagrams so the team of developers can design and build the application. Thanks to the platform, the construction of these diagnostic flows was made very agile. The processes remain quite active, as they must be in continuous improvement due to the ongoing change of products and nature of incidents.
Results
There are two important results obtained with Bonita: self-management and customer satisfaction. In 40% of the cases, the clients resolved their technical issues digitally. In a three-month period in which almost 200,000 breakdowns were reported, the Bonita application helped resolve close to 74,000 of them immediately. Now that clients can resolve issues any time and from anywhere, the solution time has decreased considerably, improving the user experience.
César Valencia, Commercial Analyst of Vodafone, explains how the company has been able to solve the service issues with a Bonita implementation. The company has automated the process, allowing customers to manage incidents themselves.
“We chose the Bonita platform because it gives us agility, ease and efficiency in our processes. The tool allows our developers to implement flows in an agile way, which can be easily changed, if necessary. In addition, we have involved an official Bonita partner because we have verified that the experience in the management of the platform has given us more positive results."
