Companies Recognised with Technology-enabled Project of the Year in GSA-UK awards

London, November 28th, 2019: Firstsource Solutions, the leading provider of customised Business Process Management (BPM) services, today announced it has been named the winner of the Technology-enabled Project of the Year category in the Global Sourcing Association UK awards, alongside its client Now TV. The awards recognise excellence in strategic sourcing.

NOW TV and Firstsource received the award for using analytics to improve NOW TV’s customer support through chat sessions. The Firstsource solution included: customer sentiment analysis, root cause analysis, and process improvement initiatives. The latter involved: a new quality framework for chat, an agent quality index, agent training and coaching on new behaviours, and competitions and incentives on these behaviours. This improved Net Promoter Score (NPS) on chat from +49 to +62 and First call resolution (FCR) from 71% to 78%.

Adi Heesom, Director of Operations, Now TV said: “Firstsource analytics showed us which agent behaviours correlate with customer satisfaction and first-time resolution on chat sessions. We then used this to change how agents were trained, measured and coached. We saw NPS and FCR jump significantly as a result – great news for our customers and our business.”

Vipul Khanna, CEO at Firstsource Solutions, added: “We are delighted our analytics and automation tools made such a difference to Now TV’s customer support through chat. It is a testament to the hard work of our teams and their ability to understand and deliver on client needs.”

The GSA UK Awards, now in their sixteenth year, recognise and celebrate the efforts of companies who have demonstrated best-practice in outsourcing. The awards were presented at a black-tie dinner on November 27th.
