Higher customer satisfaction, more accurate billing

Our customer care and billing BPS offering, has been designed to support our clients’ core business by interacting directly on their behalf with customers and other parties and driving efficiencies and accuracy in billing. Our customer service and billing expertise drives revenue, reduces operational costs and improves end-customer satisfaction.

We process and fulfil customer transactions and service requests, both online and through our contact centres, and also handle customer billing processes. Our services are supported by industry-leading IP-based business platforms, a high level of automation, and deep knowledge of your industry.

CGI have invested heavily in building an industrialised, managed ‘as-a-service’ platform, ready to solve the pressing challenges many ‘high transaction-volume’ businesses face across multiple sectors. The service is available either as an end-to-end service, or as a modular service which can be used as a tactical addition to existing business operations.

We are already helping many different organisations reduces capital expenditure (up to 80%), reduces IT TCO (up to 50%) and streamline their business processes for optimal flexibility.

We have reduced costs for our client by more than 65% in three years.
