Reduce call centre overhead with Simply C2

How Field Service Teams Cut Call Center Overhead by 30%

In white goods (ACs, washing machines) and industrial equipment (petrol pumps, solar pumps), after-sales service is critical but expensive.

When a petrol dispenser or commercial pump stops working, downtime costs money. Because, traditionally, customers call support desks to log complaints and request updates. The result? Long IVR queues, misplaced dispatch details, and endless “Where is my technician?” follow-ups.

And there is cost. Call centre overhead has exercised many. While outsourcing is suggested by some, we propose a radically different approach.

You can replace voice calls with 1-click WhatsApp complaint logging via Simply C2. This can conservatively slash call center loads by 30% to 50%.

Operational Baseline (India Context)

• Technician Volume: ~80 complaints resolved per technician/month.
• Call Ratio: ~1.8 calls per complaint (1 log call + 0.8 status follow-up calls).
• Agent Output: ~1,500 calls handled per agent/month.
• Fully Loaded Agent Cost: ₹30,000/month (salary, seating, telephony, IVR).

How Simply C2 Cuts The Call Centre Overhead
