client successes
Proactive customer engagement (WhatsApp outreach + AI bot)
Outline Many outbound programmes plateau after a maximum number of call attempts, leaving a large portion of eligible customers unreached. In this programme, the client’s traditional approach reached around 55% of the audience — leaving ~45% unreached and the booking opportunity unrealised. ATM Group proposed an alternative engagement strategy
B2C & B2B trade partner and customer operations (after‑sales service)
Summary A global appliance brand required an end‑to‑end after‑sales service operation that could manage both trade partners (B2B) and end customers (B2C) across the service lifecycle — from booking engineer appointments to parts ordering, technical support, and closure validation.

Overview A large telecommunications provider needed to improve retention (“save”) performance and customer journeys while managing peak demand and maintaining service quality. The programme required more than additional capacity: it needed omnichannel coverage, evidence‑led optimisation, and a scalable, multi‑skilled workforce model. ATM Group delivered a blended voice + digital
Digital-first customer service transformation + rapid CCaaS migration
Overview ATM Group was engaged to stabilise and modernise customer service for a leading entertainment brand during a time‑critical programme. We built a digital‑first, omnichannel operating model, enabled advisors with better tools and real‑time insight, and reduced friction for customers. Later in 2023, ATM Group led a full CCaaS
