“Avrion is an extremely customer focused solution provider and their service has been excellent, they helped us get the right solution in place and on schedule.” - Mitul Patel, Infrastructure Director, RI3K
Company background RI3K specialises in providing technology solutions for the insurance and reinsurance sectors. The company has been established since 2000 and has built an electronic trading service to support all types and classes of reinsurance business. The company has offices in London and Singapore, plus a support centre in Toronto, and serves a community of more than 150 companies. More than 2,000 reinsurance professionals in 42 nations have used the RI3K trading service over the last four renewal seasons.
Managing data flow With offices located in London, Toronto and Singapore, RI3K initially looked for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution to support the helpdesk, which is managed from all three locations in order for the company to provide 24-hour support to its customers. The company used email to send updates to relevant contacts in each office and used Microsoft Excel to record all information locally. RI3K wanted to make the flow of this information more efficient by linking all three offices to a central database. Having considered a number of CRM solutions, RI3K realised that integration with Microsoft Outlook was essential to improve efficiency. They selected avrion to implement the solution based on their extensive knowledge of integrating systems and their partnership approach which provided RI3K with the confidence that the solution would be implemented to meet their business requirements. Infrastructure Director, Mitul Patel comments: “Avrion’s knowledge of CRM is fantastic, enabling all our offices to work much more efficiently.” Avrion’s clearly communicated business processes gave total project visibility at every stage, ensuring that their work was right not only first time, but on time.
More efficient use of time One of the main benefits the CRM solution and avrion have brought to RI3K is a significant reduction in the time spent updating information and contacts. RI3K staff who are not in the office are able to access and update information remotely to ensure that company and contact information is accurate at all times; giving users the confidence to manage their clients effectively and efficiently at all times. While the main reason for investing in a CRM solution was to provide support to the helpdesk, the solution has also provided RI3K with additional benefits that have enabled them to improve their products. Analysing all incoming calls has allowed RI3K to react to potential problems with applications much faster than before and, through resolving these issues sooner, RI3K has improved service levels to the company’s entire customer base. The company has also been able to get a greater insight into individual customers through running queries on customer service cases and looking back on customer records.
“Avrion is an extremely customer focused solution provider and their service has been excellent, they helped us get the right solution in place and on schedule” comments Mitul Patel. “Their ability to connect remotely to our workstations when required is particularly impressive and has allowed them to fix problems quickly. They are totally focused on responding to our business needs.”
