Robi Axiata Selects Comptel Social Links to Automate Customer Engagement and Optimise Business Performance

A joint venture of Axiata Group and NTT DoCoMo, Robi Axiata, a mobile operator in Bangladesh, will apply sophisticated analytics technology to ensure a greater customer experience.

HELSINKI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Comptel Corporation (NASDAQ OMX Helsinki: CTL1V) today announced that Robi Axiata Limited has chosen Comptel Social Links to help it become the leading mobile operator in Bangladesh. The communications service provider (CSP) will replace its manual marketing campaign management and analytics tools with Comptel’s technology, to automate contextually-relevant interactions, provide a better customer experience and drive business performance improvements.

“Customers are at the heart of our business, and catering to their interests has always been a key goal for us”

Leveraging Comptel Social Links, including its Social Network Analysis (SNA) capabilities, Robi will be able to step up its micro-campaigning significantly. The CSP will be able to detect and prevent multi-SIM usage, identify and reduce churn, and predict customers’ future propensity for product upsells. Plus, Comptel’s predictive analytics technology will enable Robi to segment marketing based on customers’ usage, interests, location, and inclination to churn and influence, as well as utilise advanced offer management to upsell products and services.
