Aliant expertise in the service of DPD

Client requirements

Previously, DPD utilized a legacy ticketing solution that lacked the essential fields and functionalities required for efficient inquiry management. Processes were predominantly manual, and monitoring SLAs and response times proved cumbersome, negatively impacting team performance and customer satisfaction levels. The client sought a solution capable of achieving:

    • Centralization: consolidating all inquiries into a unified, intuitive, and easily manageable system.
    • Optimization: streamlining processing times while enhancing the visibility and transparency of operational workflows.
    • Automated SLA monitoring: implementing automated tracking of SLAs and rapid detection of potential bottlenecks or non-compliances within the resolution process.
    • Automated reporting: receiving activity reports at precise hourly intervals to provide greater visibility into workloads and facilitate prompt organization to prevent backlogs.
    • Categorized analytics: generating reports segmented by request type, client, and employee, essential for internal audits, client meetings, and performance target tracking.
    • Automated escalation: systematically escalating open cases to other departments based on case classification and predefined internal SLAs.

 

Proposed solution

We implemented a modern ticketing system, tailored specifically for the logistics and courier industry, designed to meet DPD’s exact requirements:

    • Industry-specific customization: dedicated fields adapted to the client’s unique internal processes.
    • Seamless email integration: full integration with email systems to automatically capture inquiries and convert them into tickets.
    • Intelligent identification: a sophisticated matching mechanism that ensures emails are accurately assigned to the relevant existing tickets.
    • Automated distribution: intelligent ticket routing to agents based on current workload, inquiry type, and client profile, eliminating manual intervention and optimizing workflow.
    • Bespoke reporting: customized reporting modules built to specific requirements.
    • Internal escalation framework: an automated escalation system for internal consultations and verifications.

 

Results achieved

  • Increased efficiency: enhanced productivity through automated processing and accurate ticket allocation, significantly reducing manual overhead.

  • Improved responsiveness: reduced response times and the elimination of "lost" inquiries originating from email.

     

  • Team optimization: achieved a 50% reduction in staffing requirements even as ticket volume doubled.

     

  • Proven scalability: successfully managed over 3.3 million tickets over the past decade.

     

  • Enhanced communication: automation of repetitive communications, substantially improving client responsiveness.

     

  • Strict SLA compliance: automated escalation to management in instances where response times fall behind, ensuring consistent SLA adherence.

     

  • Managerial oversight: comprehensive visibility into team workloads, facilitating rapid, data-driven decision-making at the management level.

 

Key benefits

  • Full and transparent centralisation of all requests within a unified platform;
  • Fast and efficient ticket processing, directly contributing to increased team productivity;
  • Automatic scalability of processes, supported by comprehensive managerial monitoring;
  • Reduction of errors and minimisation of manual interventions, generating significant cost savings and enhancing the customer experience.
