The Avaya IP Office (TM) Platform Helps Toy Manufacturer Turn Customer Service Into Child's Play


SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - May 05, 2016) - For generations, the little red wagon has symbolized childhood adventures. Its manufacturer, Radio Flyer, epitomizes the 'small but mighty' kind of brand of which many companies can only dream. To uphold its signature product and reputation for customer service, the company recently implemented the Avaya IP Office™ Platform to effectively handle the 35,000 calls it gets from consumers every year and roll into 21st Century communications with ease.

Tom Cesario, senior director of IT for Radio Flyer said,

"We thrive by listening to consumer feedback and investing in research so we can offer innovative products. Another important component of our success is customer service. The Radio Flyer brand is bigger than the actual company, so customers have come to expect nothing short of phenomenal service."

The Avaya solution delivers the sophisticated features that take the customer experience to the next level, but with the simplicity a small company like Radio Flyer needs. As a highly cost-effective solution, Avaya IP Office enabled the company to:

  • Seamlessly expand to support the company's move to direct, online sales
  • Collect valuable data that fuels operational improvements and increases staffing efficiency
  • Refocus IT resources with the reduction of management and administration requirements

"Consumer call handling is paramount for our brand and the Avaya IP Office Platform has helped us take it to the next level. I knew it would be a system we could easily expand, and would be flexible enough as our business grew. It is cost effective and works great," said Cesario.
