How Whispir helps companies make better business decisions

With a heavy reliance on outdated, paper-based, and expensive communication methods, one major Australian utility provider wanted an update that would benefit them as a business, and improve their customer engagement.

Their challenges included:

  • Outdated processes

    • They relied on business operations that were cumbersome, slow, and manually intensive.

  • Multiple systems in play

    • Processes were not only inconvenient but split across multiple systems, making it difficult to manage communications and organize data collection.

  • Lack of visibility

    • They had no view of important data analytics, including how effective and engaging their communications were.

  • High costs

    • Without digitized communications, the company relied on costly postal letters, which added up to a significant expense.

They needed a solution that could:

  • Centralize and simplify their processes, which were previously split out across multiple systems

  • Provide better visibility over their data analytics and provide actionable insights for business decisions

  • Reduce high costs involved with sending out large volumes of letters to their customers via post
