The solution by Belco

As a customer service representative, you naturally want to have this customer data quickly at hand, so that you can help a customer efficiently and in a personal manner. To facilitate this, we have created a link between the 'Customer Data Platform' and Belco.
A nice technical story, but how does that work in practice?
Suppose a customer contacts us to inquire about the logistics status of an order (this applies to approximately 40% of all contacts from The Stone), the last 3 orders with the corresponding order status are automatically loaded into Belco and the employee can contact the customer. tell exactly where the order is – quickly, efficiently and very customer-friendly.
But in addition to this technical connection, there is more. Everyone now works with one customer service solution, it is easy to communicate internally and all customer questions, via all possible channels, arrive in one clear inbox.
