Rapid response call centre support

Customer Support

Crises, incidents and one-off issues happen. Whether it’s a system outage, cyber attack or commercial event, all organisations will experience challenges that impact business as usual. In order to be resilient, when these events happen organisations need to move swiftly to communicate and engage with affected stakeholders and customers, providing the right level of support to minimise their concerns, answer questions and allay fears.

The customer experience challenge

Customers expect communication and support from businesses they deal with, be it via a call centre, chatbot, social media or other communication platforms. This ‘duty of care’ becomes especially important in crisis situations.The combination of crisis situations and customer expectations creates a short-term need for ‘surge capacity’ to meet the rise in calls and concern.

How Deloitte can help

We can also deploy chatlines, chatbots and other message support to allow different channels of engagement.

Our Customer Support service works in two ways

This includes planning for a crisis by integrating your playbook into our operational hub, aligning infrastructure, testing and conducting drills, which allows us to rapidly provide support during an incident. The internal training processes are reviewed and updated regularly in line with any relevant changes.

2. Live Incident Response
