Vodafone Fiji Provides Flexibility, Drives Loyalty with Convergys Solutions

CINCINNATI & TAMAVUA, Suva, Fiji Islands--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Driving sustained customer loyalty requires a high level of agility, and Vodafone Fiji, part of the world's leading mobile telecommunications company, Vodafone Group Plc, has found that flexibility with the Convergys Intelligent Loyalty Solution for Telecom.

Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in relationship management, announced today that Vodafone Fiji will use the Intelligent Loyalty Solution, which is part of the Convergys Intelligent Interaction Solutions portfolio, to help improve retention and data management for its 750,000 subscribers.

Convergys Intelligent Loyalty is built on the Convergys Dynamic Decisioning Solution (DDS) platform. DDS is a highly scalable centralized policy management tool that can capture events, evaluate policies, and execute actions based on those policies. Vodafone Fiji was experiencing challenges in creating and launching effective pre-paid loyalty plans for its subscribers. With Intelligent Loyalty, Vodafone Fiji is able to track subscriber usage history, segment the subscriber base while creating predictive retention rules, send “opt-in” invitations to potential churners, and implement rewards in real-time. Rewards can include voice, SMS and data rating reductions, credit tokens, and class of service changes. The Convergys solution incorporates customer value as well as likelihood of churn to determine the offers that should be extended to each subscriber, thereby driving greater profitability for Vodafone and an improved customer experience for valuable subscribers.

Convergys Intelligent Loyalty Solution for Telecom will also work in tandem with Vodafone Fiji’s quality of service controller to offer dynamic bandwidth to subscribers. The Convergys solution helps Vodafone to allocate bandwidth based on the subscribers’ lifetime value churn likelihood and device bandwidth needs to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction. By dynamically allocating bandwidth, Vodafone Fiji is also able to smooth network demand peaks to minimize the cost of network build-out.

“Vodafone Fiji is passionate about delighting its subscribers,” said Pradeep Lal, Vodafone Fiji’s Chief Operating Officer. “With Convergys Intelligent Loyalty Solution, we can further satisfy our subscribers through personalized offers tailored to their specific needs and also ensure that all our subscribers have the bandwidth they require for work and personal use, all in real time.”

“Recent Convergys research indicates that 70% of consumers want service providers to contact subscribers proactively with special discounts and offers, and 56% of subscribers want providers to keep them informed about handset and service upgrades,” said Frank Sherlock, Convergys Senior Vice President, International. “With the Convergys Intelligent Loyalty Solution, Vodafone Fiji will have the tools it needs to make proactive, targeted, timely offers to its subscribers and ensure bandwidth availability for its high data content users. This informed subscriber focus will help Vodafone Fiji increase average revenue per user, while enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.”
