The company’s enhancements to the EC Service Center are designed to make doing business with ICC easier and more cost effective.

 

ICC’s EC Service Center serves as an extension to its customers’ organizations by performing activities that enable their participation in the extended supply chain.  The EC Service Center is available within the ICC Managed Services portfolio as follows:

Specifically, today’s announcement, the EC Service Center Customer Portal, centers around enabling customers to serve themselves while freeing the Customer Care team for more value-add interactions. This self-service online portal provides a new communication channel and gives a complete view of received and processed work requests.

 

Behind the design of the Customer Portal were four areas of improvement and change:

 

• Enhancing the customer experience in dealing with the EC Service Center 24/7
• Improving visibility through real-time posting of processed work requests
• Driving customer service costs down by reducing the number of calls to Customer Care
• Reducing mail and fax costs through online and downloadable content

Overall, the Customer Portal has been well-received, demonstrating its value to customers and increasing productivity to EC Service Center operations. While the Customer Portal is fully operational today, it will continue to evolve in response to business conditions and customer input.
