Information Technology for Better Service
To pursue high standard of service quality, the CSC is equipped with a sophisticated call centre system for effective call management. With the central Geographical Information System(GIS) database which contains information on every building and street in Hong Kong, the customer service representatives can easily identify the exact locations of complaints by making reference to relevant digital maps. This allows quick retrieval of useful information at the given addresses such as previous complaint records, and any nearby facilities (water intakes, gas plants, hospitals, schools plus other environmentally sensitive areas) that may need to be taken into consideration. With the system, customer service representatives can provide accurate and prompt responses to callers.
