Discover the progress that Newcastle City Council have made in their contact centre transformation, realising significant savings and operational efficiencies; all without new technology and additional staff.

Data-led Contact Centre Transformation

Newcastle City Council (NCC) embarked on a contact centre transformation journey to improve customer experience and optimise existing resources. The project, executed in collaboration with FourNet, focused on refining internal processes and workforce management rather than implementing new technology.

Solutions included streamlining call routing, reducing average wait times, and centralising workforce management data. This approach led to significant improvements in call answer rates, cost efficiency, and overall customer satisfaction.
