4. How WWF-UK Improved Email Response Times
by 1.5 Days in 3 Months

• Customer support based in Woking
• 50 Agents working 24/7 days on Customer Service processing on average
3,000 customer contacts per week with a seasonal peak at Christmas of

5. Why did WWF need a solution?
• Growing number of web enquiries
• All emails in one queue and manually allocated to agents
• All emails treated equally, no ability to prioritise without reading emails first
• High volume of staff handling enquiries
• Lack of ability to monitor responses, or view agent performance
• One enquiry could have multiple responses as all staff had access to one
mailbox
• Growing response times
• No ability to track customer enquiries
• Outgrowing Outlook
• No realtime view of measurements against service level agreements
6. What was needed to move forward
Maplin were seeking a solution that offered improvements in productivity,
better management & reporting and delivery of the Maplin service levels.
PRODUCTIVITY
• First call resolution
• Agent prompted with pre-populated template responses for speed and
consistency of quality
• Active and waiting messages
• Automated responses
MANAGEMENT
• Forecasting Accuracy
• Adherence to Schedule
• Average age of query
• Customer call frequency
• Measurements against service level agreements
SERVICE
• Call centre status metrics
• Service level response time
7. What was the solution?
• All public-facing email addresses brought into one place where staff could be
trained and managed
• Incoming enquiries routed into product and function specialists e.g. Customer
Service, Complaints, Deliveries, etc.
• Responsibility of individual customer enquiries assigned to specific agents
throughout their lifetime to build relationships
• Full history of enquiry available within ticket, including any attachments,
reassignments of ticket and history of filters. This enables a full audit trail of
prior actions on the ticket
• Maplin now have a variety of processes including Sales, Returns, Technical,
Complaints, Faults, Stock Availability, Purchase Orders, Ebay, Order Errors,
Customer Reviews and various internal processes
9. Business Impact

to the 79% decrease in response time
• This has happened while volume of enquiries increased by 20%
• No increase in staffing levels required
• Scalable solution in place which can grow with the business
• As consumer behaviour has changed, Logicalware have adapted
MailManager to meet this

the product based on their needs both now and in the future

is continually evolving via a Customer User Group: for example, the
