ModusLink® Builds on Digital Commerce Momentum with Services and Customer Wins for Contact Center Solutions

ModusLink Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ModusLink Global Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK), a leading global provider of digital and physical supply chain solutions, has been experiencing growth in its digital commerce sector, and the Contact Center has been the backbone to a recent series of enhancements and expansions. Most notably, ModusLink has recently signed and deployed two major customers - one in the US (Whisker Labs) and one in the UK (T3 Micro).

Working with contact centers that aren't managed correctly can be a pitfall for consumers, leading them to take their business elsewhere. Given this, many large organizations look to automate and replace difficult-to-manage centers with online forums and help desks. Yet these also have proven to be pain points for consumers who want quick responses and efficient, targeted answers. In fact, a 2015 study by Forrester Research (News - Alert) showed that the most significant of these pain points is when different customer service agents give different answers or can't find the answer. The group of 5,000 participants polled also cited frustration when the contact center wasn't easily locatable on the company website.

ModusLink has addressed these concerns head-on by prioritizing the management of its Contact Center while ensuring organization and seamless transactions. Unlike automated systems, ModusLink's Contact Center agents work to improve customer experience and build loyalty. ModusLink has made considerable efforts to offer end-to-end, integrated offerings that align its customers call center with the related element of their business, such as e-commerce platforms and returns. Since ModusLink can manage all aspects of the digital and physical supply chain, it sets the company up well to be best equipped to help their clients' customers in the most efficient and effective way. Key benefits to this system are:

• Always-On Global Support - Our cloud-based platform assures you business continuity and your customers around-the-clock service, with a higher level of quality than is available with regional or in-house systems.
• Improved Brand Experience - Customers expect the best. We use intelligent routing and a choice of contact method - call, email or chat - combined with seamless multi-language support to connect your customers quickly and increase first-contact resolution. In fact, our first contact resolution is over 90 percent, compared to the industry average of 74 percent.
• Data-Driven Analysis - With our cloud-based service model, you gain a global view of your customer contacts and trending issues to drive business decisions and improve long-term customer satisfaction.
• Complete, Integrated Solution - Our Call Center operations are integrated with our complete services, offering an end-to-end e-commerce sales channel that includes web store development, Financial Management, Returns Management, QA monitoring (ISO 9001/2000, COPC (News - Alert) compatible) and Entitlement Management.

"ModusLink has been an excellent partner for T3's recent European expansion. ModusLink has supported our growth both through their distribution center and their customer contact center," said Amanda Afeiche, VP of Finance and Administration at T3. "ModusLink continues to add value as our local expert and we look forward to continuing our partnership as we expand to additional regions."

"The ModusLink Contact Center has been able to provide T3 with support for both new and existing customers, and allows us to be a partner in their growth," said Michel da Silva, General Manager of eBusiness at ModusLink. "We consider it a key element of our end-to-end line of offerings and paramount sense of customer service."
