HAN Customer Support Centre - Fulfilling Customers’ Expectations
Heidelberg Australia and New Zealand Customer Support Centre (CSC)
has two locations in Melbourne for Australia and Auckland for New
Zealand. The HAN CSC team aims to deliver timely quality and
efficient service to its customers.
Heidelberg Australia's CSC team consists of six members with operation 12 hours a day - from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
With 10 staff on shift, operating from 7:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, Heidelberg New Zealand's CSC operates in the same manner as the CSC in Australia.
After hours support is provided with contact direct to staff on-call. We give 24/7 coverage through a roster that ensures we have technicians on standby outside normal working hours.
How does the CSC operate?
When a customer calls to report a fault or service need, a service notification is logged. The CSC operator then records a job and assigns a priority depending on the situation. For instance, 'priority one' will be logged if a 'machine down' is reported. The CSC representative will then locate suitable resources and establish an action plan. They will then contact the caller back within an hour with an update. Heidelberg have a target response time of 4 hours but in many cases do better than this. Says Tony van Broekhuizen, general manager customer support "Our goal is to maximise machine up time, we get there as soon as we can, but even with more than 110 technicians across Australia and New Zealand we still experience shortages from time to time. We do our best and try to work with customers to make sure we are deploying technicians as effectively as we can." With less urgent cases or for scheduled maintenance under a service contract for instance, the CSC representative will agree a time that is suitable to the customer to avoid disruption to production.
