In July 1996, the Indians opened Victory Field after spending many years at Bush Stadium. In early 2017, after more than 20 years of using an on-premise phone system, the Indians realized they needed to replace it.
“The Indians were not only looking for a phone system that would make us more efficient and provide better service to our fans, but we were also looking for a partner to help us accomplish these things. We found that Level365 delivered on both these things and more.”
The Indians needed a solution that would scale with their growth and keep up with the needs of fans, sponsors, and diverse internal departments; marketing, corporate partnerships, tickets, and operations. For fans, there was a need to communicate weather information for rain delays or other important messages. The Indians needed a Call Center solution to provide information and analytics to balance calls for season ticket sales, individual ticket sales, events, and group sales. The sponsorship and operations staff also needed a system that would allow flexibility and mobility while out of the office meeting with sponsors, attending events, and especially while hosting 70+ home games a year.
The Indians turned to Level365 to provide a customized, scalable cloud-based UCaaS solution that integrates communication between a user’s desk phone, computer, and mobile devices. The platform is more than just a phone system as it extends beyond voice with messaging, presence, cloud email faxing, voicemail-to-email, reporting, analytics, and more.
Level365 worked closely with the Indians to ensure the installation and transition to the new service went smoothly. Level365’s UC platform provided enhanced solutions for the Indians in several different key areas:
Fan Communication: The customized and flexible phone system allows the Indians to update their Auto Attendant greeting to provide fans quick access to weather updates or other important messages. This information can be updated on demand by the Indians.
Ticketing Call Center & Inside Sales: The Level365 Web portal provides a way to manage calls, track volume, view reporting, and gain analytics insight. This enables the Indians staff real-time information to manage Call Center operations more efficiently than before.
Field Sales: The Level365 Web portal and Mobile app provide the flexibility, information, and mobility for sales staff to be away from their desk at client meetings and events with the ability to remain connected. The Level365 UC platform makes it is easy to check, download and forward voicemail, view call history including missed calls, manage presence to see who is currently on the phone and make and receive calls using your business phone number from either your computer or mobile phone.
