Yapı Kredi Drives Improved Customer Service and Greater Operational Efficiency with NICE Analytics

In less than a year, the leading Turkish Bank saw unprecedented
improvement in both service and performance metrics

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Agents—NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced that Yapı Kredi, one of the
largest banks in Turkey, reported rapid and measurable results from a
customer insight initiative over the course of 2016. The financial
institution credits NICE
analytics and quality management solutions with driving this
success, including doubling the effectiveness of interaction evaluations
and improving customer satisfaction with Yapı Kredi’s contact center
service.

Yapı Kredi has 936 branches, with 12.9 million active customers and one
of the largest credit card programs in Europe. This customer base
generates over 87 million call center interactions annually, handled by
approximately 1,500 agents at three locations.

Yapı Kredi selected the NICE
solutions to create closer alignment between their frontline
activities and overall business goals. With the help of a highly
experienced team from NICE’s local partner 3D, Yapı Kredi implemented
NICE’s Omni-channel Recording, Quality Management and Interaction
Analytics solutions, and has already achieved positive results,
including:

• An estimated 1 million fewer customer calls in 2016 alone
• Improved operational efficiency across all teams and departments,
  using dashboards customized for each user type
• Evaluations of more than twice as many customer interactions in any
  given period, as calls that need attention are automatically alerted
  to team leaders. This increased not only the speed of evaluations, but
  also their effectiveness
• Regular monitoring of agents and processes, in order to continuously
  provide feedback to all call center teams. The analytics-driven
  insights focus and shape training, recruiting, monitoring, coaching
  and workforce management
• Two targeted coaching sessions per month, instead of one, as a direct
  result of time-saving automated call analytics
• Identification of best practices for the most common service scenarios
  and processes, improving the customer experience
• Reduced customer attrition, by correctly identifying at-risk customers
  and immediately addressing their issues

Vedat Sencer Sözer, Vice President, Yapı Kredi commented: “The
NICE solutions have quite simply transformed the way we do business. We
are now focused more on agent development, with a much clearer picture
of our customer interactions, giving us the insight we need to make
informed decisions in our daily operations. This maximization of agent
effectiveness translates directly into a great customer experience, as
well as more effective guidance for our marketing and operation teams.”

John O’Hara, president, NICE EMEA, said: “We are very pleased to
have been instrumental in Yapı Kredi’s success in reinventing their
customer service in 2016. The bank has been very effective in leveraging
the improved visibility, deeper insights and quality control provided by
NICE solutions to drive process changes, improve agent performance, and
increase customer satisfaction. We look forward to continued
collaboration in 2017.”
