Towards Voxloud
Vikey and Voxloud’s paths meet when Vikey customers’ phone management goes full speed.
As a matter of fact, Vikey manages incoming and outgoing calls of its customers using a single landline
It follows that the amount of calls that can be received is very restricted, especially in a period of big rising like this.
Sure enough, Vikey grows very quickly and its technology rapidly spreads among its accommodation facilities in every part of Italy. Inevitably, to the customers’ increase follows the growth of support requests
With a single landline, thousands customers’ management starts to become a problem.
With a single landline, it’s not possible to receive more calls at the same time, so at the moment, Vikey’s Customer Care cannot aid more than a customer at a time.
But there are other problems.
If it’s true that incoming calls are growing, it’s also true for the outgoing ones!
For example, it often happens that the company has to call back a customer who has a mobile number. Without a flat subscription, obviously the call has a cost.
If we multiply that cost by the huge amount of calls that must be made every day, the expense for Vikey’s call management considerably increases.
As a matter of fact, Vikey makes about 120 calls a day, both incoming and outgoing calls.
It’s time to find a way to solve business calls management, allowing the company to keep growing smoothly and to sort out these problems.
Founded in 2016, Vikey is the brainchild of one of the two founders who previously managed a holiday house.
He was searching for a way to make the check in automatized.
From this idea, he develops Vikey which permits the remotely opening of holiday houses, hotels and the online management of the entire bureaucracy, such us sending documents and the payment of the tourist tax.
Thanks to Vikey the host can manage all remotely, even from abroad, since everything can be controlled from the Smartphone. Moreover, the host can make the guest independent giving him the opportunity to enter the house autonomously.
