We also achieved a better service and process management, increased customer loyalty and integration with social media," adds Mr. Oliveira.

The integrated multichannel solution encompassed all of Stelo's service channels: voice, site-integrated chat, whatsapp, social media and Reclame Aqui, for customer care, technical support and back office services. With this solution all employees can access the customer's complete history.

The solution also includes SMS delivery to customers to follow up on their calls or other services offered by Stelo. The chat channel was enhanced with a bot service, evolving the IVA.
