    There is genuinely not a lot to dislike about the application. Maybe it's due to legacy implementations and updates, but sometimes the request for service from the suppliers can take too long and is drawn out. IFS Customer Engagement is helping us to make sure we're able to get the right parts to the right resources with appropriate skills for each request. This saves time on resources in planning and optimization of routes. IFS has also allowed connecting to supplier APIs to be able to do real-time stock checks and order to enable us to reduce stock levels to the minimum levels whilst still hitting key targets.

    I would recommend Nectar Desk if you are going to launch it across an entire organization. By launching for only one department, it has been extremely difficult to not have the connectivity we want across the entire company.

    • Customizing Multiple Ring Groups: Allows for different call routing options depending on what phone number is dialed by a caller
    • Agent Login Tracking & Analytics: I can see minute by minute details of my team's login status and better understand how they're using their time
    • IVR Set Up: I can set up and edit/change IVR settings with the click of a few buttons, it's super easy!
    • Call History Tracking: I can easily filter and view all calls for the day to see what was inbound vs outbound, how many calls were handled by each agent, how many calls were missed, how many were outside of business hours, what the dispositions for each call were, and MORE. The Call History analytics are GREAT.

    • When a caller becomes assigned to an agent, SMS notifications are only sent to that agent. This is difficult for our call center manager to monitor if the team is handling all SMS replies efficiently and effectively.
    • Because Nectar Desk is a chrome-based calling software, we are limited in accessing the platform. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this presented a challenge in making sure that all agents' at-home computers were capable of running the software.

    IFS Customer Engagement allows efficient manufacturing reporting for the business to select whether to use standard/default reporting or actual reporting or combined reporting. Since the system has business logic to look through the defined rules, there is minimum manual intervention. IFS Customer Engagement is working throughout the organization in different roles and it is being rolled out to additional countries as part of a replace and enhance strategy.

    • As the marketing agency that implemented this software for a client, we have 100% insight into call performance. Our client previously throughout random numbers, was always guessing on his team's performance, and now we have actual insight into how the intake team is truly performing—we know 100% of the inbound calls they make, how many outbound calls are made in a day, and how much time is spent 'idle'. This has allowed our client to hire the appropriate number of call center staff based on actual data and has allowed us to shift our marketing budget to focus on driving the right callers.
