Another important feature for customers is the ability to call the automated customer service line 24 hours a day to confirm or cancel trips without speaking to a representative. Customers also have the option of providing an email address to receive an automated email each evening that lists the next day's trips.
These capabilities will reduce the number of no-shows, missed trips, and same-day or late cancellations for Connection vehicles. They will also reduce the number of incoming calls to Connection, in turn shortening on-hold wait times for customers. Connection's call center handles on average 15,000 calls per week.
