IT support for customer inquiries and travel time guarantee

Challenge

The transport company Movia handles more than 16.000 customer inquiries annually. The large volume of inquiries places great demands on correct and efficient handling.

The bus routes Movia operates are handled by various operators who have won the operation in tenders. The operators are a significant part of the overall delivery to users, and Movia's requirements for IT support of the process thus include an effective opportunity to involve the operators regarding inquiries that require their input.

In order to provide users with the best possible service, integration with the Pubtrans traffic system is also a requirement from Movia. Pubtrans contains information about when a given bus line was at a specific stop, and this information can then be compared by the caseworker with the timetable to reconcile delays, etc.

Finally, the processing of travel time guarantee cases is an integrated part of Movia's workflow around customer inquiries, and from May 2018, compliance with the Personal Data Regulation has become a requirement for IT support, which is required at Movia.
