Amherst, NY – In line with its on-going commitment to facilitate Contact Center Excellence, Customer Operation Performance Center (COPC) has developed SmartScore™, a suite of services, featuring a powerful web-based application tool, measuring value-add activity as a mechanism to improve performance. SmartScore™ ensures consistency among auditors, helping to provide objective measurement of people and process variations. Focusing on calibration and process level analysis, SmartScore™ suite of services increases data integrity and enables clients to yield a positive business return from transaction monitoring.
COPC is the exclusive authorized entity for auditing and certifying compliance to the COPC-2000® Standard, the first and only certification process designed specifically for the needs of contact centers. As a world-class benchmark of productivity, efficiency and cost-effectiveness for customer contact operations, it ensures Contact Center Excellence worldwide.
COPC’s SmartScore offers contact centers a dynamic solution to bridging the gap between QA scores and customer satisfaction data, two statistics that often contradict, and conduct performance improvements in both cost savings and customer satisfaction. SmartScore provides best practice transaction monitoring process solutions that ensure the monitoring form is effective and measures items directly related to CSAT (customer satisfaction) and ROI.
Through its calibration process implementation, SmartScore achieves consistency among auditors that allows management to gauge agent and process level performance. By objectively measuring the consistency of auditors, reducing variation among them, and identifying people and process variation, transaction monitoring data becomes more reliable for use in process improvement. As a result, the process gains efficiencies from the resources being utilized.
“Transaction monitoring isn’t new to the contact center environment, for some time now it has been seen as a critical measure of quality,” said Alton Martin, co-founder and CEO of COPC. “A mechanism to determine a real return on investment as a result of the transaction monitoring process, however, has been lacking. SmartScore focuses on calibration because most TM systems produce data that isn’t capable of driving positive results. They tend to focus more on mistake catching, than on process improvement. With SmartScore our goal is to take transaction monitoring to the next level.”
The SmartScore suite of services takes a two-phase approach: Current State Assessment followed by Solutions Implementation.
