About TPWODL: TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited (TPWODL) is a joint venture between Tata Power and Government of Odisha. Basically a power distribution company serving power to a population of 88 lakh. In order to communicate with the consumers, they have a call centre.

Key challenges:  

During our initial conversation with the head, we learned that TPWODL was experiencing a higher rate of call volume than before, which was putting a strain on their agents. Additionally, we learned that the inflow of calls was not meeting the expected number, which was causing delays in resolving customer issues and leading to dissatisfaction. As we explored further, we discovered other issues that were affecting their call centre operations, such as longer wait times, low agent productivity, and poor call quality. To ensure that we address all the issues, we made a list of the key challenges that need to be resolved to improve the overall performance of the call centre.
 

•     Call abandonment rate increasing
•     No records of call agents
•     No such tool to perform gap analysis
•     They didn't have any record of call flow, service level, agent performance report
•     Struggling to get feedback from customers
•     Not able to assign agents according to consumer query type
•     The query of the consumers is not being resolved without contacting the agent
•     Not able to assign agents according to language
