Improving Tenant Satisfaction and Safety with Modern Communications
The demand for social housing is increasing, putting pressure on landlords to deliver more homes and ensure regulatory standards are met, which also means increased workloads for already stretched contact centre teams.
Increase tenant satisfaction with a design-led approach.
The intuitive, design-led interface that powers the 8×8 Contact Centre streamlines tenant interactions and offers agents a simple, efficient, and engaging way to deliver positive experiences. Developed with universally familiar and friendly design patterns, agents are able to resolve enquiries faster, using a modern digital interface. Automated workflows and streamlined navigation empower your agents to provide frictionless tenant experiences and automate tenant satisfaction surveys.
