With virtualQ Phone, BKK Linde was able to optimize its service
By shifting the call volume with the help of the virtualQ software, particularly stressful times for employees and long waiting times for customers have become a thing of th past. Callers now know when they can expect a callback and that the person they are talking to will already know what the conversation is about.
Implementation effort was minimal thanks to fast connection
The introduction of new telephone and customer service systems does not always require a lot of work. BKK Linde invested only one working day to integrate virtualQ into the existing service systems.

After the pilot phase of virtualQ’s callback system, an internal survey was conducted in the BKK Linde Health Insurance customer service department. The results? A full 98% of all employees were very satisfied with the virtualQ software and would not want to work without it again!
