Eckoh wins contract with Orbital Marketing Services Group for EckohPAY product

 

Eckoh plc (AIM: ECK), the UK's leading provider of customer service solutions using speech recognition, today announces a new contract with Orbital Marketing Services Group for the provision of a PCI DSS compliant payment solution to its contact centre division, Orbital Response.

 

Orbital Response ("Orbital") is one of the UK's largest specialist response and fulfilment providers with offices in Ashford, Kent and Rushden in Northamptonshire. Orbital provides outsourced services on behalf of its clients including mail order/home shopping sales, donation processing for charities and membership management schemes; either by telephone, online, email or post.

 

Eckoh's real-time PCI compliant payment solution, EckohPAY, is due to be deployed in September 2011 for Orbital. EckohPAY will allow callers to make card payments conveniently and securely over the phone. By automating payments the service will increase the efficiency of Orbital's UK based contact centre agents by freeing them up to service more complex calls. The service will securely authenticate the caller through the customer's invoice number and then allow a payment to be made. On successful payment authorisation, confirmation will be provided to the caller together with the option to make additional payments.

 

Nick Williams, Director of Orbital Response comments: "We selected Eckoh for their proven capability in effectively managing the high number of calls we receive at the end of a month, which is typically when customers wish to make a payment. EckohPAY will ensure we can service this demand and importantly gives our clients the confidence that their customers' payments are being handled in a PCI compliant manner."

 

Nik Philpot, Chief Executive Officer of Eckoh, says: "We are delighted to announce this new contract win to deliver EckohPAY. EckohPAY provides a payment service that is secure, compliant and available 24x7and will ensure the maximum efficiency of Orbital's contact centre agents by allowing them to focus on more complex customer enquiries."
