Mize is transforming customer service interactions to enable better product uptime, enhanced service experience, and more efficient service delivery.

All major components of the Connected Customer Experience platform are being upgraded to make service interactions simpler and smarter. With this new release, the platform and Smart Blox are taking mobility and connectivity to a new level to enable manufacturers, dealer networks and their field service technicians to deliver the service experience that today's customers expect.

AGCO Tech Connect empowers technicians to perform pre-delivery inspections, submit support requests, and access all Knowledge objects.  

Charles Dowdell, Director, Global Technical Service Information at AGCO Corporation shared that "The limiting factor to a technician's productivity is ready access to specific technical product information and knowledge. These days, there is so much information from so many different sources. We must gather, manage, and organize these information resources for the benefit of our service people and ultimately our customers."  

AGCO has rolled out Tech Connect web and mobile application to the technicians across all regions and brands. Mr Dowdell said " Tech Connect empowers our users. A single user can easily leverage knowledge from multiple experts to focus on a single service incident without lag times. Tech Connect facilitates the spread of knowledge across and between our dealers as well as linking different information types together to form a complete service-picture for our technicians. This comprehensive service-picture provides more proactive solutions to problems as well as boosts straight-up customer productivity.  

Through the ready-access to technical service information, Tech Connect improves our customer's service experience.  The service experience may be warranty or non-warranty. Ultimately, this information tool reduces downtime and effectively keeps the customer productive. "   

In a March 2016 Gartner Report entitled "The Five CRM Customer Engagement Technologies to Focus On Through 2020", predicts that " By 2017, 35% of all customer support will take place on a mobile device — an increase of 300% over 2014."

Technicians or Customers can access the solution via web or iOS and Android mobile devices from anywhere in the field. Mize Customer Central can then manage the support requests or feed into another enterprise case management system such Salesforce.com Service Cloud. 

The push notifications capabilities keep service personnel updated instantly when a new support request is submitted. Whenever an update is provided on a case or a resolution is added, the technician is notified via a push notification on their mobile device. The solution is available in multiple languages to enable global customer support. 

"Customers expect the technicians to be more knowledgeable and resolve the problems quickly and correctly. The technicians need the right tools to deliver on those customer expectations" said Ashok Kartham, CEO of Mize "Mize cloud-based connected customer experience solution enables Technicians with a unified Web and Mobile app to save time and focus on getting the products repaired and working for customers."
