Who uses OPX?

With years of experience in business process automation, we have become aware that businesses without suitable systems and controls in place have been facing similar challenges. These challenges include:

  • locating business bottlenecks
  • providing effective training
  • lack of real-time statistics
  • identifying quality issues quickly
  • assigning case ownership
  • relying on manual and non-integrated MI
  • overviewing the benchmark achievement processes
  • understanding the process risks

We addressed every one of these challenges by developing OPX.

Performance Monitoring

OPX is the right solution for every business which needs to monitor workforce productivity and performance, and identify training needs. Companies that can benefit the most from OPX implementation tend to hire resources to perform (often) repetitive tasks related to meeting a service demand.

Typical OPX Users

To help better understand what can OPX do for your business, we prepared a list of several office personas and challenges they are commonly faced with. For each challenge, we have explained how OPX can tackle it. Listed below are examples of typical OPX users. Expand each section to find out how using OPX provides benefits to each role.

Back Office Agent

OPX enables back-office agents to:

  • “Get Next”- upon completion of the task, they can move on to the next task, best-suited for their skillset
  • Defer, refer or escalate tasks
  • Record their breaks, phone calls and meetings
  • Access case history and information
  • Use checklists to promote their quality and compliance
  • Focus on tasks that are prioritized and suitable for their skills
Agent Challenges Impacts How OPX can help
Managing own workload is difficult without all the information
  • Focusing efforts on more urgent requests
  • Priority/routine items falling outside SLA
  • Disengaging with the work, reduction of morale.
 Real-time automated task allocation shifts agent focus onto the task itself.

SLA adherence is managed automatically, reducing breaches.
Need to balance professional development with meeting targets
  • Having gaps in training,
  • Performing duty inadequately
  • Cannot complete work while undertaking training.
 Reporting on quality and productivity of staff in detail, identifying specific training needs and focussing effort.
Risk of boredom performing monotonous tasks
  • Becoming less motivated; drops in productivity,
  • Employee retention suffers.
 Splitting processes into different activities, sending mundane work to bots while keeping the decision-making steps with a human.
Might be asked to absorb front office work, disrupting own routine
  • Back-office work gets put on hold over front office tasks.
  • Reporting on activity becomes difficult when working across separate systems and offices.
 As front-office demand increases, OPX can pause work and resume as appropriate, monitoring the SLA impact throughout.
Specialist Agent

The OPX application enables the specialist agent to:

  • Accept referrals from other agents
  • Use the specialist complaints module
  • Receive work from a dedicated QA queue
  • Automatically get new customer emails and documents
  • Take ownership or share ownership of cases
  • Share skills and reduce workload by developing a script flow
Specialist’s Challenges Impacts How OPX can help
Prioritising requests from many different sources.
  • Tendency to prioritise work by the seniority of the source, rather than its urgency
  • ‘Bottomless’ pile of work is discouraging
  • A lot of time is spent on admin work.
  • SLA based prioritisation.
  • The system enables referrals and escalations.
Keeping track of the many pieces of evidence and documentation associated with complex cases
  • Incorrectly processed complaints
  • Incompletely evidenced complaints
  • Sanctions from a regulatory body.
  • Offers specialised modules for handling complaints.
  • Supports QA and assurance steps.
  • Provides email gateways.
Revisiting cases repeatedly in order to build a complex picture
  • Cases can slip outside of SLA while waiting for more information
  • Absolute ownership slows down processing
 Flexible and optional case ownership. Enables easy monitoring of deferred cases.
The case queue is mixed with easy, medium, and complex cases Spending too much time on simple cases to the detriment of more demanding cases During peaks of workload, Scriptflow moves all of the simple cases to be handled by agents who are only trained for these specific cases
