FINOM

Introduction

FINOM is a financial platform that offers innovative, effective, and easy-to-use tools.

It is a fintech company that blends together finance management, invoicing and banking into a single, all-in-one product. Its mission is to alleviate traditional pain points of SMEs and the self-employed and to prove that modern-day business management does not have to be difficult.

Since 2019, FINOM has worked with European professionals and SMEs to increase business and make life better for its customers. Currently, FINOM offers its services in Europe in countries such as Germany, France, and Italy with the ambition to grow around the world.

Challenge

Fintech startups have a real opportunity to transform how customers engage with the global economy, but the stakes are high. Customers need to feel they can depend on your app (and in a broader sense, your entire team) to provide a good experience, keep their money secure, and help them achieve their desired results. This is where customer service, and online customer experiences more generally, play an important role. 

FINOM’s team started by analyzing the biggest pain points of their own customer support team. Looking at the log of their outbound calls, they discovered that they were missing one of the most important assets of all: a flexible VoIP solution. They understood that making manual calls is cumbersome and impractical, and that they needed to have a more modern approach to business communication. 

As soon as the company expanded to other countries, it needed to overcome another obstacle: managing multiple agents operating from different locations at the same time. The inability to integrate with various marketing tools and make calls from a single source made everything difficult. Integrating enables a holistic view of customers and data, and their team was lacking both. Customer experience was vague and internal workflow unsteady.

Besides that, it is not enough to make a call. The data and analytics — that is where the key to success lies.  They wanted to track how clients were moving through the funnel, what they were doing after calls, how much time they needed to take some kind of action after the phone conversation and, in the end, whether the call flow was gainful or not. 

Enter CloudTalk

If you want to create a trusting relationship where your customers feel confident working with you, top-notch customer service is a must — especially when it comes to managing their money. As a fast-growing company, the FINOM team realized they had to deliver the best customer support from the very beginning of client interactions. There is no place for mistakes when you want to assure your clients about your reliability.  

However, without the right tools, it’s impossible to avoid mistakes and breakdowns in communication. This realization led FINOM to start the search for an all-in-one solution that could meet all their criteria and help them to achieve everything mentioned above. 

The key requirements for the new call center software:

• Ability to integrate with marketing tools: Once you integrate your business systems with CloudTalk, all available data and information are automatically and regularly synchronized through our API. With this feature, your employees will always have access to up-to-date information in all your systems used in customer interactions.
• Tools to make calls and gather the result from campaigns: CloudTalk is a truly data-based call center analytics software. Complex statistics on calls, agents and call queues all in one place. If you need more than our standard CloudTalk statistics, use filters to view data as you see fit. This will generate reports that are relevant to your business. With CloudTalk everything is a piece of cake. 
• Multilanguage usage of a phone provider: Multi-language apps help build better relationships between organizations and their customers. Language connects people, so whenever users see their native language, a common ground is immediately established. As phone software CloudTalk is used by customers all over the world, CloudTalk Phone App is available in many different languages. 

Results

With CloudTalk, FINOM managed to spare their employees a huge amount of manual labor and make their campaigns centralized and efficient from their team leaders’ perspective. Now they can easily start the campaign with one click — no need to spend extra time gathering info in advance and doing a lot of tedious, preliminary work.

As an innovative company, they were seeking a fast and easy-to-use solution that would help them avoid needless human errors. They found the IVR system, campaigns, and the ability to integrate via API very useful.

With CloudTalk’s integrations, they were able to radically improve their efficiency: the time it took agents to prepare for their next call dropped from 60 to 7 seconds. That really matters when you are making more than 1000 calls per month.

Moreover, they can easily track whether the call was successful or not: the ability to track the user path allows them to make more precise assumptions about their product and its development.

Currently, FINOM spends over 17, 300  minutes per quarter on the phone using 4 international numbers.
