Supporting Customer Relationship Management

Customer satisfaction is strongly influenced by perceptions of how well a service provider understands their needs. FusionWorks Balance Manager provides a high degree of configurability, helping to deliver a tailored account set-up and management experience. With it, service providers can assign multiple subscribers to a group account, including designating who has pre-paid and post-paid balances. Multiple lifecycle stages can be defined to monitor and react to subscriber activity, such as quickly targeting potential churners. Or use its support for promotional activities to award bonuses based on subscribers achieving usage thresholds.

Differentiation through Personalization

FusionWorks Balance Manager offers a range of features designed to support subscriber personalization of their accounts. Subscribers can designate which services are credited from pre or post-paid balances, determine how subscribers wish their accounts and services to be refilled, enforce account spending limits, and ensure out-of-credit accounts are sympathetically treated e.g. allowing for limited overages for loyal users. By being able to customize their accounts, subscribers can add value to their service, delivering a differentiated relationship with the service provider.
