SmartMun Call Center Manager
Overview & Benefits
Southern African local government organisations find themselves under increasing pressure from their national governments, as well as from the public, who increasingly demand prompt and professional service delivery, particularly when it comes to the resolution of complaints. The year-on-year increase in the number of service delivery related protests is clearly a call to action and puts pressure on local government to streamline historically grown processes, as well as improve the communication with the public through the utilisation of modern IT technology. At organisational level, an increasing number ofmunicipalities have decided to implement centralised call centres as the single point of entry for all incoming complaints.
The SmartMun CallCenter Manager has been developed explicitly to assist southern African local government organisations with the effective, paperless management of complaints from the public all the way from logging the complaint in the call centre right through to resolution of the complaint and archival. Some of the benefits of introducing the SmartMun CallCenter Manager to your administration are as follows:
