The new business has opened its first customer engagement centre in Amsterdam, with fifty multi-lingual staff supporting social media management and live-agent customer service for a major international client.
RCI offers 24-hour digital and social channel management and multi-lingual live-agent support for International businesses. Its ambition is to be a dominant player in the global omni-channel engagement business.
Dirk Jan Dokman, CEO of CX Company, commented: “Self-service channels and social media are rapidly replacing the telephone as consumers‘ channels of choice for customer service and sales. However, these channels must be supported by skilled and empowered agents that can engage proactively to create a complete customer experience. By providing self-service applications, social media management, and live-agent interaction, the CX Company is helping organisations transition to genuine omni-channel customer engagement. Our partnership with Randstad, will accelerate our growth and our ability to serve an international client base.“
