The Challenge

Boston Mayflower required a Freephone Number for their customer service line so that was memorable and free to call for anyone needing to contact them; particularly their tenants who are predominantly low-income earners and cannot always afford to make calls. They also required a way to easily manage and review statistics on their calls.

'Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We regularly invite them to comment on the service we provide. In 2012 they judged us to be delivering a good level of service and we have recently received the Government’s Customer Service Excellence Award for the 5th year in a row.'
