Design Within Reach Deploys eGain’s Customer Service Software
Leading provider of modern furnishings improves speed, quality, and consistency of response to email customer service inquiries with eGain.
Mountain View, CA, April 20, 2007 --(PR.com)-- eGain Communications Corporation (OTC BB: EGAN.OB), provider of the industry's top-rated* customer service and contact center software for in-house or on-demand SaaS deployment, announced today that Design Within Reach, Inc., a nationally recognized provider of distinctive modern furnishings and accessories, has upgraded its previous deployment of eGain Service™ customer interaction hub (CIH) software.
Design Within Reach believes that modern design is a 21st century movement, the mission of which is to serve a broad audience without sacrificing personalization, using current technologies and production methods. The company sells primarily to high-value customers, who look for great customer experience while interacting with the merchant. The company therefore views customer service as a critical element to its business growth.
Satisfied with the business value delivered by the email management application in a previous version of eGain’s CIH suite, the company recently upgraded to eGain Service 7 to continue to provide superior speed, quality, and consistency in email customer service as well as internal employee communications. With advanced workflow and service level management capabilities in eGain Service 7, Design Within Reach is routing and tracking customer service and internal employee inquiries, and are meeting service levels on a more consistent basis. While the solution improves agent productivity with features such as “auto-suggest” and “auto-respond”, its knowledgebase, also enables consistency of answers across agents. Design Within Reach plans to add other interaction channels such as chat, cobrowse, and web self-service to its eGain deployment.
“As a multichannel provider of furnishings and accessories, Design Within Reach believes in delivering integrated and memorable customer service through online and offline interaction channels,” said Bethany Kemp, director, IT Project Management at Design Within Reach. “With eGain, we deliver responsive email customer service today and plan to add other interaction channels to build out an eGain-enabled customer interaction hub for a unified multichannel customer experience.”
“Working with an industry innovator such as Design Within Reach is rewarding and validating,” said Ashu Roy, eGain CEO. “We look forward to enabling continued service excellence at Design Within Reach with our solutions.”
