COLUMBUS, Ohio. - February 22, 2011 Safelite AutoGlass® was presented with a Stevie® Award in the “Best Use of Technology in Customer Service” category at the fifth annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service last night.
The Stevie Awards organizes several of the world’s leading business awards shows including the prestigious American Business AwardsSM and International Business AwardsSM. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the trophies were presented to honorees during a gala banquet on Monday, February 21 at the Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel in Miami Beach. Nominated customer service and sales executives from the USA and several other countries attended.
Safelite AutoGlass® won in the “Best Use of Technology in Customer Service” category. As the nation’s leading provider of vehicle glass repair and replacement services, Safelite AutoGlass® reaches more than 95 percent of the U.S. population in all 50 states with mobile services. Safelite® takes a unique approach to customer safety and security. Upon confirmation of a mobile repair appointment, the company requests an email address to send the customer an email containing the name, picture and background information of the technician who will be sent to complete the work on their vehicle. The email also contains other pertinent information such as appointment time, claim number, vehicle information and insurance claim data. The customer has one electronic reference document containing everything they need to know about their appointment.
“We are extremely proud that our Safelite AutoGlass® mobile technician technology has been recognized with a Stevie Award,” said Tom Feeney, president and CEO of Safelite AutoGlass®. “I congratulate our IT team members who have made this possible through their extreme attention to customer delight.”
