Sunrise Medical Deploys Pilgrim’s SmartComplaints at Key Sites in Europe
Tampa, FL – April 10, 2006 – Pilgrim Software Inc. announces that Sunrise Medical has gone live with the SmartComplaints module at key sites in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. Sunrise Medical is a global manufacturer of home medical equipment with the mission to improve people's lives by creating innovative, high quality products. With the deployment of Pilgrim’s SmartComplaints module, Sunrise gains more control over complaint resolution and regulatory compliance processes through better traceability and improved reporting.
Pilgrim Software, the leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management Solutions, developed SmartComplaints to provide a closed-loop mechanism that allows the user to implement effective, timely resolutions to customer issues. By successfully resolving issues, Sunrise can ensure industry and regulatory compliance and reduce costs associated with customer complaints. Additionally through SmartComplaints, Sunrise gains a common application with stringent accountability for complaint information which allows for more control over complaint resolution processes. By replacing previous fragmented systems, Sunrise is better equipped to meet its goals of supporting higher service and customer satisfaction levels.
“Sunrise Medical chose Pilgrim’s SmartComplaints because both the implementation and performance of the application are predictable, reliable and cost-effective,” said Prashanth Rajendran, COO of Pilgrim Software. “With our SmartComplaints, Sunrise will quickly realize and measure its return on investment by calculating the cost per incident. The cost per incident measurement will quickly decline as complaint resolution processes are enhanced, and the savings are being reflected by an increase of Sunrise’s bottom line figure.”
The next goal is to implement SmartComplaints at sites across Europe which will include facilities in France, Spain, Italy, Norway and Sweden.
