Multi-channel case entry

Feedback is captured across all channels, including:

• Website forms
• Telephony
• Emails
• Letters
• Mobile devices
• Social media
• Face to face interactions

Our integration tools will help you to automate the capture of complaints and feedback received by email or posted on to social media sites. You can also access our Web Services API if you want to develop your own web forms.

Demos: Capturing cases Supporting documentation and images, often vital to the case, can be uploaded or scanned in from any TWAIN compatible scanner. Users can choose to log in through a variety of authentication schemes, incl. Google, Yahoo, Facebook or OpenID to log new issues, track existing ones or escalate, as appropriate.

Our self-service portal can be styled to blend in seamlessly with your existing website.

Intelligent allocation & collaboration

Complaints, compliments, suggestions and queries can be easily allocated or re-allocated between departments and case types, with specific tasks or responses within a case further allocated to teams or individuals as appropriate. Multiple departments can seamlessly input to cases, with interaction automated through email and e-forms. Set target times based on case type, department or based on a configurable risk assessment process.

Complete case file & audit trail

Knowing where to find information relating to a complaint or enquiry is easy, as everything is stored in one central location. Documents, scanned images and telephone recordings can all be attached to cases to ensure case workers have all the information they need at their fingertips.

Every single action or update to a case is audited, providing a complete record of each stage, with 'actions' and 'events' presented through a timeline view to deliver an instant picture of a case's progression over time.

Automated correspondence

UsefulFeedback! automatically generates acknowledgements, responses and other correspondence, either by email or hard copy print. All correspondence is generated from configurable templates, and letters can be edited and printed in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org using our sophisticated browser-based wordprocessor integration, with the contents stored securely in the database. Users without access to a word-processor can use the embedded editor.

Multilingual features

Measure your success

Following the response to a complaint, satisfaction surveys can automatically be sent to the complainant to gather feedback on the effectiveness of the procedure and to measure the customer's satisfaction with the outcome. In addition, you can trigger internal tasks for a subset of cases to audit the effectiveness of your complaint handlers.

Add more processes

There is always the option to unleash the power of the iCasework platform and implement additional processes, for example for managing product returns. For more information, please contact us.

Easy to use, easy to implement

Our service is designed for ease of use - we believe our customers should be able to focus user training on their process rather than our software! All input screens are wizard driven and context sensitive. Role based permissions ensure users only see the areas of the system, or indeed the aspects of a case, that they specifically need. And the intelligent, task focussed user interface, guides case workers through the process, step by step - ensuring staff always know what to do next.

It's even easier for occasional users tasked with responding to a complaint, they simply get an email with a link to view details of the complaint and a further link that opens up their word processor with a response template, already pre-populated with the case's details. No training required!

Dedicated user interfaces are available for:

• Contact centre agents
• Case workers
• Occasional users
• Mobile users

Security and resilience

UsefulFeedback! on-demand is implemented through Amazon AWS, the leading cloud computing platform in use today. It provides real-time scalability, failure resilient services and high levels of physical and network security. Our services utilise Amazon AWS's European data centres and are designed to operate at a level of security difficult for most in-house operations to match. Data communications use 128-bit secure socket layer (SSL) encryption and our services are regularly penetration tested to ensure compliance with the latest security standards.

Contact us if you have specific hosting requirements. For example, we can implement access through a Virtual Private Cloud, enabling you to connect your existing infrastructure to a set of isolated resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Or as an alternative to Amazon AWS, we can also host solutions through our data centre in Newcastle, for example if you require access through a leased line.
