Impact in Action: Where Numbers Speak Proven Facts
ServiceDESK has played a significant role in promptly enhancing the operational performance of financial institutions. This is explicitly discovered in the numbers extracted from the studies of successful deliverables.
A well-known bank with $14.4B in assets urgently needed to set up a team to handle the increased call volumes during PPP. This required Quinte to quickly assemble a team of expert call service agents and navigate a steep learning curve to meet the client’s service level targets.
