Better communication makes customer service shine
- Robison Oil Co., Elmsford, NY (United States)
After the terrible winter last year, Robison Oil decided to expand existing telephone equipment to provide the best possible service to our 26,000 customers. We are headquartered in Elmsford, NY, and have branches in Tarrytown and Brewster. Another company, Original Consumer Oil, is headquartered in the Bronx and serves commercial customers in the metropolitan area. Our new expanded communications system gives us shorter customer response time and the ability to resolve customer issues without transferring the customer around like a ping-pong ball. By combining our telephone and computer systems, we have been able to improve customer delivery and service through faster dispatching. And by using a network of T1 telephone lines between locations with different area codes, we save money on long distance phone charges. We have 12 customer service reps who are a key part of our operation. They enter all service and oil orders as well as handle all billing and credit problems. We wanted a communication system that would help us reduce the response time for customers, as well as let us know how many calls are waiting to be answered. To make their job easier and more productive, especially during the winter months, we upgraded our AT&T System 75 to a Definity G3 System.
