Maintain high levels of customer satisfaction.
Apply robotic automation ‘everyday’ processes.
Reduction of 6000 customer calls and increased accuracy.
Capita has been steadily growing the number of automated processes in our client’s operations since the partnership began. But the legacy process for transactions – the ‘everyday’ processes such as SIM swaps or credit checks – left room for human error and had a turnaround time that the client felt kept customers waiting and didn’t live up to its high standards.
We needed to find an efficient way of keeping their customers happy and connected, with improved, speedy and accurate services.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was the answer. Capita worked with Blue Prism to bring in simple and agile RPA software to complement work previously performed entirely manually on processes such as transferring data from different sources and formats (spreadsheets, emails, etc).
We identified the top transactional processes that required no voice contact with the customer, had the biggest cost benefit, and opportunities for an improved customer journey.
Rollout began with an initial 20 ‘robots’, which soon increased to 75, automating 15 core processes including SIM swaps, credit checks, order processing, customer reassignment, unlatching, porting, ID generation, customer dispute resolution and customer data updates.

There are core transactions that need to be carried out thousands of times every day, transactions that make a big difference to the customer who’s waiting for their new phone, or swapping service provider. Often it’s their first time dealing with us, so we have to get it right. By automating these we’re not only reducing our operating costs, but we’re increasing accuracy and speeding up the whole process – both of which make a huge difference to their experience.
