Vodafone Signs Global Agreement with SNAPin to Deploy SelfService Software



    SNAPin Software, the leader in mobile interaction management,
    today announced Vodafone Group, the world´s leading international
    mobile telecommunications group, has entered into an agreement to
    deploy SNAPin´s SelfService software as part of a global initiative to
    increase customer satisfaction, and grow customer loyalty.

    Vodafone will use SNAPin´s SelfService software to provide its
    customers with the ability to automatically resolve common problems
    directly on their mobile phone. For instance, customers will now be
    able to diagnose and repair configuration problems, make account
    inquiries and solve problems directly on their handsets. Vodafone
    customers will gain more control of when and how they access help,
    quickly and in an intuitive way.

    Paul de Laat, global director of customer value management for
    Vodafone, said, "Excellent customer service is central to how we
    acquire and retain loyal customers. A large part of this is giving our
    customers a choice of when and how they contact us and providing them
    with accurate and timely help when they need it. We have conducted
    thorough trials with SNAPin and it was very clear that self help
    directly on the handset improves overall customer satisfaction and
    grows loyalty. It was also evident that this kind of differentiated
    service could potentially stimulate additional revenue as customers
    become more confident and interested to try new service offerings."

    "Vodafone is recognised as a market-leading mobile operator
    worldwide. The company has a strong focus on enriching its customers´
    lives by maintaining a superior level of customer service," said
    Robert Lewis, SNAPin president and chief executive officer. "It is a
    testament to our company vision as well as our innovative software
    that Vodafone has selected SNAPin."

    SNAPin´s vision is to deliver market-leading mobile self-service
    software to not only improve the customer care experience in the
    mobile industry through operator implementation of SelfService Care,
    but also to increase customer adoption of new mobile services and
    features.

    "Vodafone´s commitment to self-service innovation revolutionises
    the way its customers discover and use information on their device,"
    said Jason Choy, managing director, EMEA, SNAPin Software. "We are
    very proud that our SelfService software has been so successful for
    them, and we look forward to delivering a trusted, relevant and
    personalized experience to Vodafone customers across the globe."
