National Express: Using the power of Salesforce to drive excellent results
National Express partnered with Credera to digitalise business processes with Salesforce
At a Glance
Rated the UK’s leading coach company, National Express operates high-frequency scheduled coach services from over 550 destinations across the country. It also delivers coach travel to major airports, festivals and events and is the official transport provider for Wembley Stadium.
In 2019, National Express started a partnership with Credera to implement Salesforce Service and Marketing Clouds to help transform the customer experience. As part of their Service Management contract with Credera, National Express embarked on a number of projects to digitalise business processes with Salesforce. One of these included digitising the process of creating and distributing staff travel passes, associating them with voucher codes.
The Challenge
Improving the travel pass system, compliance and productivity.
For staff to get the coach pass they were entitled to, they had to complete a printed form and post it to head office, along with a photo
Head office would process the forms, create paper travel passes and issue to a member of staff by post
Having paper forms made GDPR and security auditing harder to comply with
Postage costs between head office and staff, along with paper and printing costs, were significant
The service was slow and manual, costing valuable staff time and reducing productivity
The Solution
Streamlined staff pass management system in Service Cloud.
Automated case creation in Service Cloud
Staff travel pass record management in Service Cloud
Integrated voucher code system
Building the digital pass generation system in Service Cloud
Generated passes can then be automatically generated and issued to staff members via email
The Results
Reduction in staff pass processing time and accessibility.
Reduced the time it takes for a member of staff to obtain a pass from 35 days down to 5 days
Reduced the time it takes for a member of the National Express admin team to create a staff pass from 30 minutes down to 2 minutes
Simplified the process to enable more people to create a staff pass, e.g. line managers
Freed-up time for contact centre admin team to focus on responding to customer enquiries
