Carglass Chooses ClickSoftware to Ensure Customer Service First

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Servicing 800,000 customers every year, Carglass, the leading vehicle glass repair and replacement company in Germany, relies on its branch and mobile technicians to provide top-notch service to its customers. Carglass has selected ClickSoftware's (NasdaqGS: CKSW) mobile service optimization suite to automate the scheduling of appointments and the resource management of technicians, enabling the company to quickly service customers on-location, resulting in faster, more efficient customer care.

After observing the fast and successful deployment of ClickSoftware's solution at Belron in the UK, Carglass decided to roll out the scheduling system in Germany.  

"We are always focused on improving our customers' experience. By optimizing our scheduling system with ClickSoftware, we will be able to better assign our technicians to remote job requests quickly and efficiently, saving our customers' time, gas, money and frustration. Rather than our customers having to drive to one of our Service Centers, we are now able to send a mobile technician to their specific location," said Ronald Hoff, Project Manager Operations at Carglass GmbH. "The ClickSoftware solution streamlines this process and the benefits will be realized from the business side down to the customers' experience. Most importantly, we will be able to roll it out to technicians quickly to reap the benefits."

In the old model, schedulers used manual charts to assign mobile technicians their job assignments each day. ClickSoftware's established service chain optimization algorithms will now allow Carglass to streamline business processes across its mobile technicians. If Carglass receives a request for an on-location repair, the scheduler can assign that job instantly to the mobile technician best suited for job requirements. If a second on-location repair request comes in, the scheduler can prompt that same mobile technician to next complete this new job or assign it to another mobile technician who may be closer to the location or have a more appropriate skillset. Concurrently, branch technicians at the Service Centers continue to service customers who need their cars fixed.

"The improved customer service that Carglass will now be able to provide by automating and optimizing the scheduling system is significant and an important factor in keeping a competitive edge," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, Founder and CEO of ClickSoftware. "By matching individual mobile technician's skills and location, Carglass will be able to increase the speed and number of mobile requests. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with Carglass and Belron."
