What was the problem that LeadDesk solved for Manpower?
Manpower’s Finnish contact centers found their legacy hardware-based solution costly to run and difficult to customize. Scaling up or down created additional costs and downtime. There were too many error hours and outages negatively impacting on productivity and profitability. In addition, the system did not provide timely feedback data and the lack of Caller ID caused dropped calls.
What other factors were important in the RFP/sourcing process?
One of the main triggers for software renewal was talent. Manpower wanted to enable remote working, have more flexibility for agents and their devices, reduce outsourced IT, and widen the available pool of “super agents.” More flexible billing and recovering the physical space taken up by legacy hardware were also factors.
