MM Graphix launch our 'Activity Logger' System
MM Graphix are proud to introduce our new ‘Activity Logger’ system, which is currently being piloted ‘in house’. The system is specifically tailored to MM Graphix and will enable us to offer our client’s the best quality customer service as effectively as possible.
The ‘Activity Logger’ system allows members of staff to:
• Log individual jobs as soon as the enquiries enter onto the system
• Track all enquiries in one place
• Indicate the priority of specific jobs
• Produce various production reports
• Keep the team connected, even when offsite
On our client side, MM Graphix will soon be launching our job query submission form, whereby our customers will be able to log individual enquiries. These will be sent directly to our Activity Logger and then distributed to a specific member of staff who will be able to deal with each customer directly. This means that eventually all job enquiries will come through our central system and not on scattered emails, so that all our staff member can clearly track and prioritise our work load on a daily basis.
