KONE is delivering a richer customer experience

Issues and challenges

KONE is a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry with just over 47,000 employees. Its objective is to offer the best People Flow™ experience by developing and delivering solutions that enable people to move smoothly, safely, comfortably and without waiting.

KONE maintains over 1M elevators and escalators in close to 60 countries. In KONE customer care centers, a contact center application is used to manage critical elevator incidents and track operation information, service records and technical data. A need to upgrade these capabilities was identified, specifically to integrate multimedia channels and enhance the customer experience.

"Providing an outstanding customer experience to our customers is one of our strategic cornerstones. Orange Business has been instrumental in helping KONE with our digital transformation, upgrading our contact center solutions to the next generation with plans to add multimedia and SIP services in the future."

Antti Koskelin, CIO, KONE
