Bellevue, WA (Vocus) May 6, 2010

Solatube International Inc., the worldwide leading manufacturer and marketer of Tubular Daylighting Devices, launched the Fuze Suite as a way to deliver high quality customer care throughout the organization while managing support costs. Provided by Fuze Digital Solutions, the Fuze Suite includes self- and assisted-service components through an easily searchable knowledge base (KB), email/contact management, feedback management, and chat.

Solatube’s call center staff and product specialists field technical questions from partners, prospects, and their own sales team. The Fuze Suite allows for the efficient and cost-effective delivery of consistent, accurate and timely responses to distributors and consumers’ questions. The Fuze Suite was given the nod over the other systems considered due in part to its usability and ease of administration.

Solatube is utlizing FuzeDigital’s hosted, on-demand model. The initial roll-out focused on getting information to staff throughout the organization’s sales, marketing, and support departments utilizing the system. Content was then expanded to meet the needs of web site visitors, as well.

Self-service answers deflect calls and emails that otherwise would need to be handled by Solatube staff. However, when assistance is needed, the Fuze Suite routes inquiries and feedback to staff best able to handle them. Scripted answers are housed in the knowledge base for easy retrieval by staff responding to inquiries. Streamlining contact management has also helped Solatube measure and manage response turnaround.

“We’re pleased that Solatube chose the Fuze Suite for its knowledge sharing and customer care initiatives,” said Chuck Van Court, FuzeDigital CEO and Founder. “Our patent-pending community KB features are certain to suit their needs to ensure that content remains viable and that staff and consumers are recognized for sharing their expertise.”
