Eleyo Recognized as Customer Service Department of the Year

For support teams, a Stevie Award is the highest customer service award in the world.

ST. PAUL PARK, MN – May 10, 2018 – Eleyo was named the winner of the Bronze Stevie® Award in the Customer Service Department of the Year category at the 16^th Annual American Business Awards®.

The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

In total, there were more than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes from virtually every industry. “The nominations submitted for The 2018 American Business Awards were outstanding. The competition was intense, and those recognized as Stevie Award winners should be immensely proud of this accomplishment,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. 

Eleyo is a cloud-based program management software, but their motivation for work comes from believing they are part of something bigger. “By making life easier for our customers, we are helping them focus on their passion – the children,” says Jay Bruber, Head of Strategy at Eleyo. 

One of the biggest priorities for Eleyo is responding to questions and support tickets quickly. The team knows that the faster they respond to customers, the faster customers can get back to the children. That’s something customers notice and appreciate too. “What I value most about customer support is their willingness to help out in a clear, concise and timely manner,” said an Eleyo customer from South Washington County, MN.  

One improvement Eleyo implemented this year was enabling customers to contact them directly from the software. In the software, customers can click a life raft icon. The icon sends a message to the support team, and it automatically populates some of the technical details, like the URL of the screen the user is looking at and the browser they’re using. This makes communication between the customer and support team more efficient because those details don’t need to be collected manually.  

And who drove that change? The support team. One Stevie judge said, “Front-line workers are uniquely capable of identifying opportunities to improve customer experience. I'm particularly impressed that the support team identified such an opportunity, and as such, petitioned to have a way for customers to contact them directly through the software.”  

In 2017, Eleyo’s support team handled more than 7,600 tickets, and they responded to 70 percent of tickets within one hour.

Eleyo also received a Bronze Stevie Award for Support Team of the Year in 2017.
