Assurdiscount.com goes live with a first-class customer service in just two weeks

Quality CRM guaranteed with MATRAnetís M>WebTouch 2.0

Redwood Shores, Cailfornia, USA. Assurdiscount, a leading Internet discount insurance broker, has selected M>WebTouch 2.0, MATRAnetís customer service solution for Web-based businesses, to help it deliver a first-class customer care service to its online customers. Assurdiscount is a French company with key partners such as EquitÈ (subsidiary of the Generali Group), Swiss RÈ and ERC Frankona (subsidiary of General Electric).

Insurance contracts are inherently complex issues. They call for a high level of interaction between the customer and the advisor, and therefore cannot be done simply by e-mail. Assurdiscount needed a solution capable of maximizing its contacts with its potential customers via the Net. They wanted to offer their e-customers the same standard of service that they would have obtained had they been face to face with an advisor.

M>WebTouch gives visitors the opportunity to establish a real interactive dialogue with an advisor on the Net using live interactive chat. The information on each visitor is then collected thanks to WebTouchís advanced tracking and profiling features. As it is an easy solution to deploy, the data obtained on visitors can be kept in-house, thereby ensuring Assurdiscount retains complete control over its client database.

ìBy setting up M>WebTouch in barely two weeks, we have demonstrated how easy it is to install and integrate this solutionî notes Christophe Decaux, European Marketing Director of MATRAnet. ìAssurdiscount is a typical start-up that has understood that simply setting up a web site is no longer enough; visitors must also be offered a personalized first-class customer service.
