Overcoming pandemics, borders & boundaries with Premier Contact Point

Tweed Shire Council

Today, more than 94,000 people call the Tweed home, and the council delivers more than 50 services to them while also being one of the Tweed’s largest employers, with an annual budget of $192 million.

That is a LOT to manage, and customer experience is paramount for the busy council team to deliver day in and day out. 

This case study outlines the challenges Tweed Council had to overcome with the onset of the COVID pandemic and how Premier Contact Point provided the solution for them to survive and thrive in these testing times.

The situation

Being the largest Council in the Northern Rivers comes with its fair share of challenges. Those challenges only further increased after the pandemic as the Council had to adapt to working from home, especially being so close to the state border and having employees living on both sides. 

“We were receiving a higher volume of calls directly through the contact centre. That meant we also needed to move with the times and not expect that everybody had the time to pick up the phone and speak to somebody. To deal with that, we needed advanced technological features.”

Customer Service Leader, Tweed Shire Council
“Implementing Premier Contact Point was stress-free. Premier’s project manager kept us informed each step of the way, and the onsite training was very effective. The ongoing support from Premier’s service desk team is excellent as they’re always available to assist with any system changes or answer our questions. They made us feel heard and valued.”
