Omnichannel Routing Automation

Intelligently route voice, email, chat, and social interactions to the right agent based on skill, availability, and customer priority, all from a single workflow engine.

Siloed channels create inconsistent customer experiences

When voice, email, webchat, and social media enquiries are handled in separate queues with different routing logic, customers experience wildly inconsistent wait times and often have to repeat themselves across channels. Supervisors lack a unified view of demand, making real-time staffing adjustments guesswork rather than data-driven decisions.

  • Channel silos

    Each channel operates its own queue, meaning agents sit idle on one channel while another is overwhelmed.

  • Inconsistent SLAs

    Without unified priority logic, high-value customers may wait longer on chat than they would on voice.

  • Context loss on channel switch

    When a customer moves from webchat to phone, agents start from scratch because interaction history is not carried across.

  • Manual queue rebalancing

    Supervisors must manually drag and drop agents between queues during spikes, wasting precious minutes.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Unified queue engine

    All inbound interactions (voice, email, webchat, SMS, and social) enter a single prioritisation queue before being routed.

  • Skills-based routing rules

    Define routing logic based on agent skill tags, language proficiency, customer segment, and real-time occupancy.

  • Real-time overflow triggers

    Automatically redistribute interactions when queue thresholds are breached, without supervisor intervention.

  • Customer context pass-through

    Carry CRM data, previous interaction summaries, and sentiment scores into the agent desktop on every handoff.

  • Live channel dashboard

    Monitor wait times, abandon rates, and agent utilisation across every channel in a single wallboard view.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Interaction arrives

    An inbound voice call, email, webchat message, or social DM is captured and normalised into a universal interaction record.

  2. Priority scoring

    The system evaluates customer segment, enquiry type, SLA targets, and current wait times to assign a priority score.

  3. Skill-matched routing

    The interaction is offered to the best-fit available agent based on skill tags, language, and current occupancy.

  4. Context delivery

    The agent desktop is populated with the customer record, interaction history, and any previous case notes before the agent accepts.

  5. Overflow & escalation

    If no suitable agent is available within the SLA window, the interaction is automatically escalated or offered to a secondary skill group.

35%

Faster average speed of answer

Unified routing eliminates idle agents on quiet channels, drastically cutting wait times across the board.

20%

Reduction in repeat contacts

Context pass-through means customers no longer need to re-explain their issue after switching channels.

4x

Faster queue rebalancing

Automated overflow rules respond in seconds instead of the minutes it takes a supervisor to intervene manually.

Questions about omnichannel routing

Does SwiftCase replace our existing telephony platform?
No. SwiftCase sits above your telephony or CCaaS platform as an orchestration layer, consuming events via API and applying your routing rules without replacing the underlying voice infrastructure.
Can we route based on customer value or contract tier?
Yes. Routing rules can reference any CRM field, including customer segment, lifetime value, contract tier, or bespoke priority flags you define.
How quickly can routing rules be changed?
Routing rules are configured in SwiftCase's no-code workflow builder and take effect immediately, with no development sprint or vendor change request required.
Is this Ofcom-compliant for UK voice calls?
SwiftCase does not handle the voice path itself, so Ofcom compliance remains with your telephony provider. Our routing logic respects persistent agent assignment and CLI presentation rules required by Ofcom guidelines.
Agent ExperienceDesktop Unification

Agent Desktop Unification

Consolidate CRM, telephony, knowledge base, and case management into a single agent interface, eliminating alt-tabbing and reducing average handling time.

Agents juggle too many systems to serve customers well

The average contact centre agent switches between six or more applications during a single interaction. Every alt-tab increases handling time, introduces data entry errors, and erodes the customer experience. New starters take weeks longer to become proficient because they must learn multiple disconnected tools.

  • Application switching

    Agents alt-tab between CRM, telephony softphone, knowledge base, and ticketing systems dozens of times per call.

  • Duplicate data entry

    The same customer details are keyed into multiple systems, increasing error rates and post-call wrap time.

  • Extended onboarding

    New agents spend weeks learning disparate tools before they can handle live interactions confidently.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Single-pane agent workspace

    Embed CRM data, call controls, case history, and knowledge articles into one browser-based workspace.

  • Bidirectional CRM sync

    Updates made in the agent desktop are written back to your CRM in real time, eliminating duplicate entry.

  • Screen-pop on interaction arrival

    The customer record auto-populates the moment an interaction is accepted, based on CLI, email, or chat handle.

  • Inline knowledge search

    Agents search the knowledge base without leaving the interaction screen, with results ranked by relevance to the current case type.

  • Guided disposition codes

    Post-interaction wrap is simpler with mandatory disposition fields that feed directly into reporting.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Interaction accepted

    The agent accepts an inbound or outbound interaction from the unified queue.

  2. Screen-pop and context load

    The desktop auto-populates the customer record, previous interactions, open cases, and any pending actions.

  3. Guided interaction handling

    The agent follows on-screen prompts, accesses knowledge articles, and updates case fields, all within the same view.

  4. Wrap and disposition

    After the interaction, the agent completes mandatory disposition codes and any follow-up task creation in one step.

25%

Reduction in average handling time

Removing application switching and auto-populating customer data shaves significant seconds off every interaction.

40%

Faster new-agent proficiency

A single interface with guided workflows means new starters reach competency in days rather than weeks.

15%

Improvement in first-contact resolution

Inline knowledge search and full case history help agents resolve queries without callbacks or transfers.

Questions about agent desktop

Does the agent desktop replace our CRM?
No. It sits on top of your existing CRM and other systems, pulling data in via API so agents see everything in one place without switching applications.
Can we customise the desktop layout per team or campaign?
Yes. Desktop layouts are configured per workflow, so inbound sales agents can see a different panel arrangement than customer service agents.
What telephony systems does SwiftCase integrate with?
SwiftCase integrates with leading CCaaS and on-premise telephony platforms via SIP, CTI connectors, and REST APIs. Speak to our team about your specific platform.
Quality AssuranceCompliance

Quality Assurance Automation

Automate QA scoring, calibration workflows, and coaching actions so every interaction is evaluated consistently and improvement plans are tracked to completion.

Manual QA cannot keep pace with interaction volumes

Most contact centres evaluate fewer than 3% of interactions manually. The sample is too small to be statistically meaningful, QA scores vary between evaluators, and the gap between evaluation and coaching feedback can stretch to weeks, by which time the agent has already repeated the same mistakes dozens of times.

  • Tiny sample sizes

    Evaluating 1-3% of interactions means quality issues go undetected for weeks or months.

  • Scorer inconsistency

    Different QA analysts interpret the same scorecard criteria differently, undermining agent trust in the process.

  • Delayed coaching

    Weeks can pass between an interaction and the coaching session, reducing the impact of feedback.

  • No audit trail

    Spreadsheet-based QA lacks version history and cannot demonstrate compliance to regulators or clients.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Configurable scorecards

    Build weighted scorecards with auto-fail criteria, section scoring, and conditional questions, all in a no-code builder.

  • Automated evaluation assignment

    Distribute evaluations evenly across QA analysts, weighted by team, campaign, or interaction type.

  • Calibration workflows

    Run calibration sessions where multiple analysts score the same interaction, then compare results to align standards.

  • Coaching action tracking

    Automatically generate coaching tasks from failed evaluations and track completion through to sign-off.

  • QA trend reporting

    Visualise quality trends by team, agent, question, and time period to pinpoint systemic issues.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Interaction selection

    Interactions are selected for evaluation based on configurable sampling rules: random, risk-based, or triggered by customer feedback.

  2. Scorecard completion

    A QA analyst completes the digital scorecard, with auto-fail flags and mandatory comment fields enforced by the system.

  3. Coaching task creation

    If the score falls below threshold or an auto-fail is triggered, a coaching task is automatically assigned to the agent's team leader.

  4. Coaching delivery and sign-off

    The team leader delivers coaching, records notes, and the agent signs off, all tracked within SwiftCase.

  5. Trend analysis

    QA managers review dashboards to identify recurring issues and adjust training programmes accordingly.

10x

More interactions evaluated

Structured digital scorecards and automated assignment let QA teams evaluate far more interactions in the same time.

60%

Faster evaluation-to-coaching cycle

Coaching tasks are generated immediately after a failed evaluation, not weeks later.

100%

Audit-ready QA records

Every evaluation, calibration session, and coaching action is time-stamped and stored with full version history.

Questions about quality assurance

Can we weight different scorecard sections differently?
Yes. Each section and individual question can be weighted, and you can define auto-fail criteria that override the overall score regardless of other answers.
Does SwiftCase integrate with speech analytics tools?
Yes. If you use a speech analytics platform, SwiftCase can ingest flagged interactions for priority evaluation via API or webhook.
How does calibration work?
You select a calibration interaction, assign it to multiple QA analysts, and SwiftCase compares their scores side-by-side, highlighting variances by question so you can align scoring standards.
Is QA data available for FCA compliance audits?
Absolutely. All evaluations, scores, and coaching records are stored with full audit trails and can be exported or accessed via API for regulatory reporting.
EscalationCase Management

Escalation Management

Define clear escalation paths, automate tier routing, and track every escalated case to resolution, so no customer issue falls through the cracks.

Escalated cases get lost between teams and systems

When a frontline agent cannot resolve a query, the escalation process is often informal: a message in a group chat, an email to a manager, or a sticky note. Cases lose priority, ownership becomes unclear, and customers chase updates they never receive. For regulated services, untracked escalations create serious compliance exposure.

  • Informal handoffs

    Escalations happen via email or chat with no structured tracking, making it easy for cases to be forgotten.

  • Unclear ownership

    When multiple teams are involved, no single person owns the escalated case end-to-end.

  • SLA breaches

    Without automated time tracking, escalated cases regularly breach internal and contractual SLA targets.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Tiered escalation paths

    Define multi-level escalation routes (from team leader to department head to director) with automated triggers at each tier.

  • SLA countdown timers

    Every escalated case carries a live SLA timer, with automated reminders and breach notifications sent to the case owner.

  • Automatic ownership assignment

    Cases are assigned to a named owner at each escalation tier based on skill, availability, and current caseload.

  • Customer update automation

    Trigger templated status updates to the customer at key milestones: acknowledgement, investigation, and resolution.

  • Escalation analytics

    Report on escalation volumes, root causes, resolution times, and repeat-escalation rates by team and category.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Escalation triggered

    An agent or automated rule triggers an escalation, capturing the reason, priority, and all interaction history.

  2. Tier-1 assignment

    The case is routed to the appropriate team leader or subject-matter expert based on category and skill match.

  3. Investigation and action

    The case owner investigates, records findings, and takes corrective action, all within the case record.

  4. Customer communication

    Automated updates keep the customer informed at each stage, with the option for personalised messages.

  5. Resolution and closure

    The case is resolved, a root-cause category is recorded, and the case is closed with full audit history.

90%

Reduction in lost escalations

Every escalated case is tracked in a structured workflow with clear ownership and automated reminders.

50%

Faster escalation resolution

Automated routing and SLA timers ensure cases reach the right person immediately and are actioned promptly.

100%

Audit trail coverage

Every escalation action, ownership change, and customer communication is logged for compliance and reporting.

Questions about escalation

Can escalation paths differ by client or campaign?
Yes. Each client or campaign can have its own escalation tiers, SLA targets, and notification rules configured independently.
What happens if an SLA is about to breach?
SwiftCase sends automated warnings at configurable intervals before the SLA deadline. If the deadline passes, the case is automatically escalated to the next tier.
Can customers see the status of their escalation?
You can configure automated email or SMS updates at each milestone, and optionally provide a portal link for real-time status tracking.
Does this meet FCA requirements for complaint escalation?
SwiftCase provides the workflow structure, audit trails, and time-tracking required by FCA complaint handling rules. Your compliance team defines the specific policies within the platform.
ReportingAnalytics

Performance Reporting for Contact Centres

Consolidate operational, quality, and commercial KPIs into automated dashboards and scheduled reports, giving every stakeholder the right data at the right time.

Reporting takes too long and tells too little

Contact centre managers spend hours each week pulling data from multiple systems into spreadsheets, reconciling figures that never quite match, and formatting reports for different stakeholders. By the time a report is delivered, the data is stale and the opportunity to act has passed. Client reporting is equally painful, with bespoke formats consuming analyst time that could be spent on insight.

  • Manual data consolidation

    Analysts pull CSV exports from telephony, CRM, QA, and WFM systems and stitch them together in spreadsheets.

  • Stale reporting

    Weekly or monthly report cycles mean decision-makers are always looking at outdated data.

  • Bespoke client formats

    Each outsourcing client demands a different report layout, multiplying the effort for BPO operations teams.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Unified data warehouse

    Aggregate data from telephony, CRM, QA, WFM, and SwiftCase workflows into a single reporting layer.

  • Real-time dashboards

    Live wallboard and management dashboards refresh automatically, showing KPIs like ASA, AHT, FCR, and CSAT in real time.

  • Scheduled report delivery

    Configure daily, weekly, or monthly reports to be generated and emailed to stakeholders automatically.

  • Client-branded report templates

    Create branded report templates per client with the exact KPIs, layouts, and commentary fields they require.

  • Trend and variance analysis

    Automatically highlight week-on-week variances and long-term trends so managers focus on what has changed.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Data ingestion

    SwiftCase pulls data from connected systems (telephony CDRs, CRM records, QA scores, and WFM adherence) into a unified data layer.

  2. KPI calculation

    Metrics are calculated using your defined formulas: ASA, AHT, FCR, CSAT, occupancy, shrinkage, and bespoke KPIs.

  3. Dashboard rendering

    Live dashboards are updated in real time for supervisors, managers, and wallboard displays.

  4. Scheduled report generation

    At configured intervals, reports are compiled using the appropriate template and delivered via email or portal.

80%

Reduction in report preparation time

Automated data aggregation and scheduled delivery eliminate hours of manual spreadsheet work each week.

Real-time

Decision-ready data

Live dashboards mean managers and supervisors act on current data, not last week's numbers.

100%

Client report consistency

Templated reports ensure every client receives accurate, on-brand data on schedule without manual formatting.

Questions about performance reporting

Can we build custom KPIs beyond standard contact centre metrics?
Yes. SwiftCase supports custom calculated fields, so you can define bespoke KPIs using any combination of data points available in the platform.
Do dashboards support role-based access?
Absolutely. Agents see their own stats, team leaders see their team, and directors see the entire operation, all from the same dashboard configuration.
Can reports be white-labelled for outsourcing clients?
Yes. Report templates support client branding, including logos, colour schemes, and custom cover pages.
CallbacksCustomer Experience

Customer Callback Management

Replace abandoned calls and manual callback lists with structured, SLA-tracked callback workflows that ensure every customer is contacted at the right time by the right agent.

Missed callbacks destroy customer trust and inflate costs

When callers abandon the queue or request a callback, the promise is often recorded on a spreadsheet or sticky note. Callbacks are missed, duplicated, or made at the wrong time. Each missed callback generates a repeat inbound call, inflating volumes and eroding customer satisfaction. For Ofcom-regulated outbound dialling, unstructured callback lists also create compliance risk.

  • Lost callback requests

    Callbacks recorded in spreadsheets or emails are easily overlooked, especially during busy periods.

  • Wrong-time contact

    Without scheduled slots, agents call customers at inconvenient times, reducing answer rates and satisfaction.

  • Duplicate outbound attempts

    Multiple agents may attempt the same callback because there is no single source of truth for callback status.

  • Ofcom dialling compliance risk

    Unstructured callback lists make it difficult to prove compliance with Ofcom persistent misuse regulations.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Structured callback queue

    Every callback request enters a managed queue with customer details, preferred time, reason, and SLA deadline.

  • Time-slot scheduling

    Customers choose a preferred callback window, and the system schedules the attempt within that slot.

  • Agent assignment rules

    Callbacks are assigned to the original agent, a named case owner, or the next available skilled agent.

  • SLA and retry logic

    Configure maximum attempt counts, retry intervals, and SLA deadlines with automatic escalation on breach.

  • Ofcom compliance controls

    Enforce attempt limits, time-of-day restrictions, and CLI presentation rules in line with Ofcom guidelines.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Callback request captured

    A callback is requested via IVR, agent action, web form, or abandoned-call trigger, creating a structured callback record.

  2. Scheduling and assignment

    The system schedules the callback within the customer's preferred window and assigns it to the appropriate agent.

  3. Attempt and outcome logging

    The agent makes the attempt, and the outcome (connected, no answer, voicemail, wrong number) is recorded.

  4. Retry or resolution

    If the customer was not reached, the system schedules a retry within configured rules. If connected, the case is resolved and closed.

95%

Callback completion rate

Structured scheduling and retry logic ensure virtually every callback promise is fulfilled within SLA.

30%

Fewer repeat inbound calls

Completing callbacks on time eliminates the follow-up calls customers make when promises are broken.

100%

Ofcom audit readiness

Every callback attempt, outcome, and timing is logged for regulatory compliance demonstration.

Questions about customer callback

Can customers book a specific callback time?
Yes. Callback requests can include a preferred date and time window, and SwiftCase will schedule the attempt accordingly.
How does this work with our dialler?
SwiftCase can feed callback records to your outbound dialler via API, or agents can make callbacks manually from the agent desktop, depending on your preferred approach.
What Ofcom rules does this help with?
The system enforces attempt limits, abandoned-call return timing, time-of-day restrictions, and CLI presentation, all key requirements under Ofcom's persistent misuse statement.
Can we track callbacks created from abandoned calls separately?
Yes. Callbacks can be categorised by source (abandoned call, agent-initiated, IVR request, web form) and reported on independently.
ScriptingCompliance

Agent Scripting Automation

Deliver dynamic, branching call scripts that guide agents through compliant conversations, adapting in real time based on customer responses and case context.

Static scripts fail agents and frustrate customers

Paper-based or PDF scripts cannot adapt to what the customer actually says. Agents either read robotically from a linear script, annoying customers, or go off-script entirely, creating compliance risk. Updates to scripts require reprinting or redistributing documents, and there is no way to know whether agents are actually following the latest version.

  • Linear scripts ignore context

    Static scripts cannot branch based on customer answers, forcing agents to hunt through irrelevant sections.

  • Version control chaos

    When scripts are updated, there is no guarantee every agent is using the latest version.

  • Compliance exposure

    Without enforced scripts, agents may skip mandatory disclosures required by FCA, Ofcom, or PCI DSS regulations.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Dynamic branching scripts

    Build decision-tree scripts that branch based on customer responses, case type, and data pulled from CRM.

  • Mandatory compliance steps

    Mark script steps as mandatory so agents cannot progress until required disclosures or verifications are completed.

  • Inline data capture

    Embed form fields within script steps so agents capture data as they go, eliminating post-call data entry.

  • Centralised version management

    Update a script once and it is immediately live for every agent, with no redistribution or retraining required.

  • Script adherence tracking

    Monitor which script paths agents follow, where they deviate, and which steps take the longest.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Script triggered

    The appropriate script is loaded automatically based on the interaction type, campaign, or queue the agent is handling.

  2. Guided conversation

    The agent follows on-screen prompts, with the script branching dynamically based on their inputs and customer responses.

  3. Compliance steps enforced

    Mandatory steps (such as data protection statements or identity verification) must be completed before the agent can proceed.

  4. Data captured inline

    Form fields within the script capture case data in real time, writing directly to the underlying case or CRM record.

  5. Completion and disposition

    The script concludes with a summary screen and disposition code, completing the interaction record.

40%

Reduction in compliance breaches

Mandatory script steps ensure agents never skip required disclosures or identity verification procedures.

20%

Faster average handling time

Branching logic guides agents straight to the relevant path, eliminating time spent searching through irrelevant script sections.

Instant

Script deployment

Script updates are live for all agents the moment they are published, with no reprinting or redistribution delays.

Questions about agent scripting

Can scripts pull live data from our CRM?
Yes. Script steps can display and reference CRM fields, so the conversation adapts to the specific customer's record, such as their product, contract status, or previous interactions.
How do we handle script changes during a live campaign?
Scripts can be versioned and published instantly. Agents on active calls continue with their current version, while new interactions use the updated script automatically.
Can we A/B test different script versions?
Yes. You can deploy multiple script versions across agent groups and compare outcomes such as conversion rate, AHT, and QA scores.
Workforce ManagementScheduling

Workforce Management for Contact Centres

Automate shift scheduling, break management, and adherence tracking so you always have the right number of agents in the right place at the right time.

Spreadsheet rosters cannot keep up with demand

Many contact centres still manage schedules in spreadsheets, relying on planners to manually balance shift patterns, holidays, training, and real-time demand changes. The result is chronic over- or under-staffing, excessive overtime costs, and agents who feel their preferences are ignored. When demand spikes unexpectedly, there is no systematic way to redeploy resources quickly.

  • Manual scheduling

    Planners spend hours building and adjusting rosters in spreadsheets that lack demand-aware logic.

  • Over- and under-staffing

    Without accurate forecasting, shifts are either overstaffed (wasting budget) or understaffed (breaching SLAs).

  • Adherence blind spots

    Managers cannot see in real time whether agents are adhering to their scheduled activities.

  • Agent dissatisfaction

    Rigid scheduling with no self-service options leads to high attrition in an industry already plagued by turnover.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Automated schedule generation

    Generate optimised schedules based on forecast demand, agent skills, contractual hours, and preference rules.

  • Real-time adherence monitoring

    Track whether agents are in the correct activity (on call, on break, in training) and alert supervisors to exceptions.

  • Shift swap and holiday requests

    Agents submit swap requests and holiday bids through a self-service portal, with automated approval based on coverage rules.

  • Intraday reforecasting

    When actual demand diverges from forecast, the system suggests intraday schedule adjustments to maintain service levels.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Demand forecasting

    Historical interaction volumes are analysed to forecast demand by interval, channel, and skill group.

  2. Schedule generation

    The system generates optimised schedules that balance demand coverage, agent preferences, and contractual rules.

  3. Agent self-service

    Agents view their schedules, request swaps, and bid for holidays through a self-service portal.

  4. Real-time adherence

    During the operating day, the system tracks agent activity against schedule and flags exceptions to supervisors.

  5. Intraday adjustment

    When demand deviates from forecast, planners receive recommendations to redeploy agents or adjust break times.

15%

Reduction in staffing costs

Demand-aligned scheduling eliminates unnecessary overtime and reduces overstaffing during quiet intervals.

25%

Improvement in schedule adherence

Real-time monitoring and automated alerts keep agents on-schedule throughout the day.

3x

Faster schedule creation

Automated generation replaces days of manual spreadsheet work with a schedule produced in minutes.

Questions about workforce management

Does SwiftCase replace our existing WFM tool?
SwiftCase can operate as your primary WFM scheduling tool for small-to-mid-sized operations, or integrate with enterprise WFM platforms like Verint or NICE to extend workflow automation around schedules they generate.
Can agents swap shifts without manager approval?
You configure the rules. Swaps that maintain minimum coverage can be auto-approved, while those that breach thresholds require manager sign-off.
How far ahead can we forecast?
SwiftCase supports short-term (intraday), medium-term (weekly/monthly), and long-term (quarterly) forecasting based on historical data and trend analysis.
Does this handle multi-skill scheduling?
Yes. The scheduling engine accounts for agents with multiple skill tags, ensuring the right blend of skills is available in every interval.
ComplaintsRegulatory Compliance

Complaint Handling for Contact Centres

Capture, track, investigate, and resolve customer complaints within a structured workflow that meets FCA, Ofcom, and client-specific regulatory requirements.

Complaints mishandled today become regulatory fines tomorrow

Regulatory bodies including the FCA and the Financial Ombudsman Service require firms to log, acknowledge, investigate, and resolve complaints within strict timeframes. Contact centres handling financial services, utilities, or telecoms calls must demonstrate a reliable complaints process with full audit trails. When complaints are tracked in spreadsheets or generic ticketing systems, deadlines are missed, root causes go unanalysed, and the organisation is exposed to regulatory action.

  • Missed regulatory deadlines

    FCA rules require acknowledgement within set timeframes and final response within eight weeks; spreadsheets cannot enforce this.

  • Inconsistent categorisation

    Without structured taxonomy, complaints are categorised differently by different agents, undermining root-cause analysis.

  • Poor audit trails

    Regulators and clients expect a complete record of every action taken on a complaint, which is difficult to produce from email threads.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Regulatory-compliant workflow

    Pre-built workflow stages (logging, acknowledgement, investigation, resolution, and closure) aligned with FCA complaint handling rules.

  • Deadline tracking and alerts

    Automatic SLA timers count down to acknowledgement and final response deadlines, with escalation on approaching breach.

  • Structured complaint taxonomy

    Enforce consistent categorisation using configurable complaint types, root causes, and product/service codes.

  • Root-cause analysis reporting

    Aggregate complaint data by category, product, team, and time period to identify systemic issues and trends.

  • Automated customer correspondence

    Generate acknowledgement letters, holding responses, and final response letters from templates with merge fields.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Complaint logged

    The agent captures the complaint using a structured form with mandatory fields for category, product, and customer impact.

  2. Acknowledgement sent

    An automated acknowledgement letter is generated and sent to the customer within the regulatory timeframe.

  3. Investigation

    The complaint is assigned to an investigator who reviews interaction recordings, case notes, and system data.

  4. Resolution and final response

    The investigator records the outcome, any redress offered, and generates the final response letter for customer sign-off.

  5. Closure and reporting

    The complaint is closed with a root-cause code and fed into trend reporting for continuous improvement.

99%

Regulatory deadline compliance

Automated timers and escalation rules ensure acknowledgement and final response deadlines are met consistently.

50%

Faster complaint resolution

Structured workflows and automated task assignment eliminate the delays caused by manual handoffs.

100%

FCA-ready audit trails

Every action, communication, and decision is logged with timestamps and user attribution.

Questions about complaint handling

Does this meet FCA complaint handling requirements?
The workflow is designed to align with DISP rules, including logging, acknowledgement within required timeframes, eight-week resolution targets, and final response letter generation. Your compliance team configures the specific policies.
Can we report complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service?
SwiftCase can generate the data extracts required for FOS reporting. The structured taxonomy ensures complaint categories map to FOS reporting codes.
How does this handle complaints across multiple clients in a BPO?
Each client can have its own complaint workflow, taxonomy, SLA targets, and letter templates, all managed within the same SwiftCase instance with strict data segregation.
Can customers track their complaint status?
Yes. You can enable automated status updates via email or SMS, and optionally provide a self-service portal for real-time complaint tracking.
PCI DSSPayment Security

PCI DSS Compliance for Contact Centres

Automate secure payment workflows, DTMF masking controls, and compliance evidence collection so your contact centre meets PCI DSS requirements without slowing agents down.

Taking payments over the phone exposes cardholder data

Contact centres that take card payments are in scope for PCI DSS compliance. Agents who hear, see, or transcribe card numbers create data exposure risk. Call recordings that capture DTMF tones or spoken card details must be managed carefully. Without automated controls, organisations rely on agent discipline and manual pause-resume recording, an approach that auditors and acquirers increasingly reject.

  • Agent exposure to card data

    Agents who see or hear full card numbers are a compliance liability and a social engineering target.

  • Recording management

    Manually pausing and resuming call recordings during payment capture is error-prone and leaves gaps in QA coverage.

  • Audit evidence gaps

    Proving PCI DSS compliance requires documented controls and evidence, which are difficult to produce from manual processes.

  • Scope creep

    Without clear boundaries, the entire contact centre environment remains in PCI DSS scope, increasing audit cost and complexity.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • DTMF masking integration

    Integrate with DTMF suppression solutions so card digits are captured directly by the payment gateway without reaching the agent or recording.

  • Secure payment workflow

    Guide agents through a compliant payment process with on-screen prompts and automated recording controls.

  • Compliance evidence collection

    Automatically log every payment interaction with timestamps, masking confirmation, and outcome for audit purposes.

  • Scope reduction documentation

    Document network segmentation and data flow controls that reduce the PCI DSS scope of your contact centre environment.

  • Self-assessment questionnaire support

    Generate evidence and control documentation that maps to PCI DSS SAQ requirements for your annual compliance review.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Payment initiated

    The agent triggers the secure payment workflow from the agent desktop when the customer is ready to pay.

  2. DTMF masking activated

    The system activates DTMF suppression so card digits entered by the customer are routed directly to the payment gateway.

  3. Payment processed

    The payment gateway processes the transaction and returns a success or failure result to the agent desktop.

  4. Evidence logged

    The interaction record is updated with payment outcome, masking confirmation, and a timestamp, all stored for audit.

100%

Payment interactions compliant

Every payment follows the secure workflow with DTMF masking and automated recording controls.

70%

Reduction in PCI DSS scope

DTMF masking and network segmentation remove the agent desktop and call recordings from PCI DSS scope.

Zero

Agent exposure to full card data

Agents never see, hear, or transcribe complete card numbers, eliminating the primary social engineering risk.

Questions about pci dss compliance

Does SwiftCase process card payments directly?
No. SwiftCase orchestrates the payment workflow and integrates with your chosen DTMF masking provider and payment gateway. Card data never passes through SwiftCase servers.
Which DTMF masking providers do you integrate with?
SwiftCase integrates with leading providers including Semafone, PCI Pal, and Encoded. We can also work with other providers via API.
How does this affect call recording?
When DTMF masking is active, the recording continues uninterrupted but card tones are suppressed at the network level. This eliminates the need for manual pause-resume and ensures full QA coverage.
What PCI DSS SAQ type does this support?
By removing card data from the agent and recording environment, most contact centres can move from SAQ D to SAQ A or SAQ A-EP, significantly reducing the compliance burden and audit scope.
Do we still need a QSA audit?
That depends on your transaction volumes and acquirer requirements. SwiftCase provides the workflow controls and evidence to support either self-assessment or QSA-led audits.
