Results
The launch of the Velcom Recommends app resulted in a 27% decrease in voice calls to the operator's customer support centers. More data on user online behavior allowed Velcom (A1) to offer personalized services, increasing revenue per customer substantially. Customer satisfaction rating went up, bolstering the clients’ loyalty.
In 2017, the app was fully redesigned and new functionality was added. Due to deep links to the CMS, subscribers could easily browse featured audio and video content according to their preferences. With a new home screen widget, users had personalized web content and all info about their account and balance at their fingertips.
