CUSTOMER CASE STUDY
Linkly

ABOUT LINKLY
Linkly was established in 1998 under the PC EFTPOS name, and have built their reputation through the seamless integration of payment terminals and POS systems. They are now the leading supplier of integrated payment solutions in Australia, powering over 200,000 terminals and over two billion transactions annually.

CHALLENGES
Like many businesses, Linkly found themselves making a sudden pivot to remote work due to COVID-19. They have now transitioned to a hybrid model with staff continuing to work between home and their CBD office. Linkly needed to build business resilience and continuity, maintain staff productivity and morale, as well as ensuring a continued high standard of customer service.
Linkly’s business structure was also evolving at this time, and as a consequence, their phone setup did not provide the functionality they needed including detailed customer and staff analytics, and the ability to add new users quickly and simply. They also required a cloud contact centre (CCaaS) deployment.
SOLUTION SUMMARY
Linkly engaged Arrow to consult, advise, and manage their transition to a cloud based UCaaS and CCaaS solution. After a business needs analysis, Arrow recommended the 8×8 Cloud
Communications platform, an all-in-one solution for voice, meetings, collaboration, and contact centre.
There is also the ability to tailor plans across service levels to provide the lowest possible total cost of ownership, giving Linkly better visibility and control over their communications spend.
SOLUTION OUTCOMES
Linkly now has a feature-rich unified communications solution with the functionality they need to manage their hybrid workforce, and scalability that allows them to add additional staff simply and seamlessly.
Their centralised cloud phone and contact centre solution are delivering outstanding results, with improvements in customer management and staff productivity.
Linkly can manage their contact centre agent productivity and performance through easy to customise reports, highlighting the status of performance metrics, and identifying key trends or activities across their employees, in addition to customer behaviour.
