The
problem

  • ·

    Users have to find all necessary information from various sources. It's overwhelming and slows down the work.

  • ·

    Sometimes users miss the must-check points and cause rework.

  • ·

    Too many disposition options causes a high error rate.

  • ·

    Users have to use the physical phone to connect and hang up calls, which increases task time.
