Sandwich Drive in Commemoration of Mandela Day

18 July 2016 Comments Off on Sandwich Drive in Commemoration of Mandela Day Uncategorized

mandeladay

The team at Pinewood SA wanted to give back to the community in commemoration of Mandela day.

We got in touch with a  Non-Profit Organisation named “The Homestead Projects for Street Children”. They indicated a need for sandwiches as street children often go to sleep at night, not only without a roof over their heads, but also without food.

We spent some time last week, bringing together loaves of bread, jars of peanut butter, tasty jams, bottles of golden syrup and many other favourites loved by so many kids in South Africa.

This was done in an effort to make sandwiches for those street kids and provide them with the basic requirement of food, and to let them know that they haven’t been forgotten.

We managed to make over 250 sandwiches; although this will not feed every child living on the street, we believe it will make a difference to many of these kids,  even if it is just for a day.

We would like to ask that those reading this article reach out to “The Homestead Projects for Street Children” by contacting them on (021) 419 9763/4. Together, we can collectively make a big difference in the lives of these children, perhaps even for the foreseeable future.

Improve customer response times to videos by using two-way SMS

04 July 2016 Comments Off on Improve customer response times to videos by using two-way SMS News

Sending a SMS to a customer may get more attention than an email. Pinnacle now allows Dealers to send VHC & Sales videos via SMS and email, speeding up responses to time-dependent tasks such as identified work approvals from Workshop VHCs.

Customers can respond by SMS or email and this is added to the customer record, the quicker the response from the customers the sooner the work can be carried out, optimising technician’s time and maximising workshop efficiency.

Customer records that hold both mobile and email details provide the option to send to either or both, increasing the chances of a quicker response. Both methods deliver the same user experience ensuring that all future customer feedback is not negatively dependent on the sending method.

This change, featured as part of the 9th free release update so far in 2016, is in line with Pinewood’s long term plan of providing users with as many avenues to increase dealer profitability potential, improved customer experiences and greater process efficiencies.
