Contact

Around the world with bots and ACD

The successful cruise operator nicko cruises has been fully relying on VIER's cloud-based omnichannel ACD since 2018 and is currently expanding its contact offering for customer service and sales with VIER's voice and chatbots.

Challenge

Effective service networking in the cloud

The decision to choose VIER was made because the cruise company nicko cruises was looking for a solution that could easily and effectively connect the three service centers distributed across Germany. "The biggest challenge was that the three service centers had different partners with their own telecommunication solutions, which were not compatible with each other. Therefore, the requirement was to implement everything completely web-based and to bring all three service centers under one umbrella," explains Andreas Grasberger, CTO of nicko cruises. Even back then, nicko cruises ensured to select a system that could integrate additional channels such as voice and chatbots if needed and also incorporate email management with the classic "info@" mailboxes into the ACD. The goal was to quickly and easily distribute all information across the three service center locations.
