Airline
Type : Software ImplementationIndustry : AirlineRole : Project ManagerBudget : > 1.000 man-daysChallenge
Flight delays, cancellations or damaged luggage: An airline's customer service department has to deal with various tasks. Customer service employees must have enormous knowledge and obtain opinions from various organizational units to solve customer problems.
Due to legal regulations (keyword: air passenger rights), the processing of claims and complaints must be fast, reliable and transparent at all times.
Solution
Implementation of targenio for the claims and complaints process with interfaces to the central customer database and travel orders, to the voucher system and SAP FI.
The complete process was mapped end-2-end in targenio - from entering the complaint by the guest in the web form, researching and documenting the decision as well as reply letters and payouts to the guest.

Telecoms
Type : ConsultingIndustry : TelecomsRole : ConsultantBudget : ~ 500 man-daysChallenge
Telecommunications companies are in fierce competition with each other. A key competitive advantage is the ability to provide outstanding customer service. The customer expects a fast and customer-oriented solution, especially in the event of a complaint.
The implementation of a "customer first" strategy is a particular challenge since the companies have a heterogeneous IT landscape and the employees in the service centers are subject to high fluctuation.
Solution
Analysis of service center operations and development of a holistic concept for excellent customer service.
Review of existing IT systems and development of proposals on how to improve the ability of service center employees to provide information and speed up the processing of service requests by standardizing the systems.
Piloting a change management project to implement the new customer service strategy.

Tour Operator
Type : Software ImplementationIndustry : Tour OperatorRole : Project ManagerBudget : > 1.500 man-daysChallenge
If, during the most beautiful time of the year, true vacation mood does not want to set in because the pool has no water or the booked room with sea view is not available or the bugs in the bed nip you, it is the task of customer service to appease the guest and make up for the damage caused.
A software solution that covers this demanding task must map the entire process and include the service providers on site (flight, transfer, hotel) in the processing.
Solution
Mapping of the complete complaint and claims process in targenio with integration of the service providers on site. If a guest's complaint is justified, then the customer service employee creates a letter of apology with targenio and pays compensation to the guest. If necessary, the travel agency through which the guest booked his trip is involved in the processing.
After the customer service case is completed, a recourse claim is automatically set up against the service provider who is responsible for the problem on site. This recourse process has also been implemented in targenio in a highly automated way.

Health Insurance
Type : ConsultingIndustry : Health InsuranceRole : ConsultantBudget : >200 man-daysChallenge
Years ago, the legislator strengthened the principle of competition for statutory health insurance companies. The aim is to put the statutory health insurers in competition with each other to promote innovation in the healthcare system and service orientation towards the insured. Competitive elements include the possibility of statutory benefits, optional tariffs, bonus programs and cooperation options with private health insurance companies.
This leads to a conflict between the public service mandate and the individual competitive strategies of the health insurance company to attract new members.
The goal of the consulting project was to develop new innovative strategies and processes for balancing the existing conflict.
Solution
After an intensive analysis of the existing processes and procedures, proposals were drawn up as to how better integration of insurance agents, service centers and head offices can make decisions about the granting of insurance cover faster and more transparent.
It was worked out how the insurance company can guarantee equal, fair, and legally compliant care for the insured and at the same time be able to react appropriately to individual cases.

Energy Supplier
Type : Software ImplementationIndustry : EnergyRole : Project ManagerBudget : >400 man-daysChallenge
Electricity is a low envolment product. This makes it even more important for energy suppliers to retain customers through outstanding customer service.
Outstanding customer service is particularly important in the event of complaints and claims. Here, customers expect a fast, appropriate, and fair response. To meet the high customer expectations and to make the service promise transparent and controllable, the use of complaint management software is necessary.
Solution
Implementation of our standard software "Sorry!" for claims and complaints management.
Realization of an interface to SAP IS-U for the transfer of customer and consumption point data.
Mapping of the complete complaint process in "Sorry!" and writing back the results of complaint processing to SAP IS-U.

Car Manufacture
Type : Software ConceptionIndustry : Car ManufacturRole : Project ManagerBudget : > 150 man-daysChallenge
Speed, speed, speed - the ultimate requirement for being successful as a company in the information and knowledge age. A major car manufacturer has recognized this and is reorganizing its organizational structure in such a way that the complexity and dynamics of our time can still be mastered. In doing so, the company is focusing on decentralizing decision-making and wants to make greater use of the swarm intelligence of its employees.
One problem identified on the way to greater speed is that decision-making processes are very complicated and take too long. For this reason, the "DCSN" (pronounced decision) initiative was launched as part of a program to precisely address this problem.
The initial focus is on decision-making processes between managers E4 and their employees. The goal of DCSN is not to "manage" decisions, but to achieve them in a structured, efficient, and fast manner. In doing so, DCSN is intended to support the formation and implementation of wills in decision-making processes.
Solution
Design and development of a software prototype that addresses the four strategic action areas of the car manufacturer:
Compliance: DCSN makes decisions transparent, secure and traceable. The ability to provide information about decision-making processes is achieved through structured decision-making and a single data base. It enables controlling of decisions made by employees in the context of empowerment.
Customer: DCSN simplifies communication and coordination between employees and managers and integrates into the user's workflow. It is also "fun to use".
Costs: DCSN increases the quality of decisions through structured decision preparation. By making decisions faster, DCSN helps to save costs and relieves employees from routine tasks.
Learning & knowledge: DCSN contributes directly to the implementation of the strategy initiative. It enables the development of best practice by drawing on decisions that have already been made.

Parcel Service
Type : Software ImplementationIndustry : LogisticsRole : Project ManagerBudget : >2.000 man-daysChallenge
Parcel logistics is a global business. Parcel logistics companies maintain huge logistics networks to be able to deliver a parcel from door to door. Errors can occur in these networks; parcels get lost or are delivered incorrectly.
This is a particular challenge for customer service: To be able to help a customer with a problem, the entire process chain must be able to be included in the processing. This task can only be tackled with specialized software.
Solution
Implementation of our standard software "Sorry!" for processing end customer complaints.
Roll-out across all logistics levels with more than 2,000 users.

Airline

The EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 of the European Parliament, drafted on February 11, 2004, determines the rules for compensation and benefits for passengers in the event of denied boarding, flight cancellations or flight delays (of more than three hours). The regulation governs passenger rights for all intra-European flights and those arriving at or departing from an airport in the EU.
Ops issues in FY 2017/18 resulted in a sharp increase in complaints, pushing customer service to its performance limits.
To realize cost and time savings, a German airline planned to exploit automation potential in customer service. The focus was on a complete automation of customer complaints due to delays of more than 3 hours.
Solution
The implemented solution consists of three main components:
1. Customer self-service portal: Interactive web form as interface between customer and targenio. This is used for structured recording and communication.
2. targenio checking algorithm: targenio checks the customer's claim and decides as to whether the claim is valid. To do this, targenio accesses the flight information system and the centrally made decision about the ability to compensate for a flight delay.
3. Payment processing: Payment processing is also carried out via the self-service portal. The customer can choose between bank transfer or voucher. The account data is also entered online by the customer.

Logistics company
Type : Software ImplementationIndustry : LogisticsRole : Project ManagerBudget : >500 man-daysChallenge
Newspaper and magazine publishers use service providers to have their products delivered to subscribers.
If the subscribed newspaper or magazine has not been delivered or has been deposited insecurely, then this is a great annoyance for subscribers. Subscribers address their complaints to the publishers, who in turn contact the service providers' customer service.
Customer service then has the task of tracking down why a delivery did not work out and how the problem can be prevented in the future. This task requires cooperation with Ops, which must provide feedback on the situation on site. This complex task can be perfectly managed with our complaint management software targenio.
Solution
A generic interface was implemented for the transfer of complaints from publishers, with which cases for each complaint are automatically created in targenio. If information on a complaint is available in a fault database, the complaint is processed fully automatically, and the result is returned to the publishers.
targenio enables structured communication between customer service and operations so that problems can be quickly identified and remedied.
