Staff employed within the 200 nationwide mobile phone stores could not keep up with the rapid
widespread use of smart phones. As customers became more knowledgeable and questions
concerning phones became more diversified and advanced, staff response times increased, leading
to further undesirable circumstances such as canceled contracts. In addition, as there was no
mechanism in place to share information between the stores, useful information was not being
utilized to the fullest. A technical support center was in urgent need to share information and
provide staff support.
● Lack of staff’s knowledge and understanding of technology, and increased
response times led to the loss in sales opportunities.
● There was no mechanism in place for sharing information between stores, so
useful information remained within each store respectively.
To thoroughly investigate and research customer inquiries, stores, staff members and share up-to-
date and consistent information through a technical support center.
For example, prior to the
release of i.e. a terminal, to thoroughly research and share the results on how modifiable the
terminal is.
In addition, to perform periodic testing and training of staff to ensure quality and
consistency of information, and utilize PC helpdesk management experience, taking advantage of
early adoptions and saving costs with installations in Okinawa.
● Training systems and periodic tests were introduced to ensure quality and
provide consistent information.
●Monthly running costs were lowered with installations in Okinawa.
Response times were significantly reduced due to the utilization of the technical support center.
Improvement in waiting times led to increased sales through new customer acquisitions. In
addition, staff with less experience could still provide customer support - making efficient store
operations possible. Trends in applications could also be acquired early and staff could provide wide
range, reliable support, thus greatly improving customer satisfaction.
●There was a significant reduction in the response time spent per customer. Sales
increased by improving turnover!
● With the introduction of the information sharing system, issues of discrepancies
concerning information was solved.
