INTRODUCTION
In modern times, customers and staff experience in the service sector is changed by new
technologies and different modes of delivery. Call centers and Web-based methods of service are
becoming the norm in complementing the traditional telephone, office and mail services. In fact,
it has even been argued that call centers might be the hub of successful customer relationship
management strategies and the fulcrum of organizations (Mitchell, 1998). However, even though
call centers have been in existence for a number of decades, little has been reported on customer
satisfaction with this mode of service delivery. BPO industry is therefore composed of those
processes on behalf of their clients. BPO operations are intensive users of IT and
telecommunications. BPO companies are many competitors and they need to improve their
services to satisfy the customer’s so the customer satisfaction is important factor to any BPO
companies that want to improve their products or services. Customer satisfaction enables BPO
companies to differentiate themselves from their competitors and create sustainable advantage.
One of the emerging platform for customer satisfaction feedback is the customer satisfaction score
(CSAT) that provides several advantages. One of the advantages is to gain a better understanding
to your customer’s requirements and concerns so that you improve your products and your
standards of service in line with customer’s needs. By monitoring customer satisfaction and
responding to problems, you can improve customer loyalty and protect revenue and profitability.
Satisfaction survey is the highlights of the company’s strengths and weaknesses from the
customer’s perspective. Focus on areas of your business that achieve very low satisfaction scores
and prioritize the improvement program so that you can remedy any serious problems in those
areas. Furthermore, this study is conducted to provide a service platform that can send and receive
survey responses from customers which can process responses to provide meaningful feedback
efficiently and effectively. This will filled the gap in improving customer satisfaction in BPO
industry and develop a platform that would encourage customers to respond efficiently.
In a business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, everything is about numbers. A metric which
usually stands out is called Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score. It tracks how satisfied a customer
is with their recent interaction with the support they receive from the business ranging from –
dissatisfied to very satisfied. The challenge here is how to effectively and efficiently measure it,
Budget – there may be other systems that exist in the market but they are expensive to acquire and
Hard to Use – customers may not be inclined to use it because it’s a painful experience on an
otherwise should-be-easy process. On the other side, some may require specific people to be able
Rigid – each business run on a specific set of processes, policies, and procedures. While there are
some tools that exist, this may not tailor-fit to the current needs of the business and it doesn’t
integrate well.

it.

gets sorted out and passed along to the supervisor, (3) organizes it and plans out coaching with the
Feedback Effectively – since the feedback takes a lot of time to get processed, it may get “spoiled”
A Customer Service Feedback Platform for Service Delivery Environment is for BPO industry
which is still currently using the hard copy method of a customer service feedback. There is some
company that caters a web-based customer feedback but it is time consuming. This kind of process
The existing service feedback platform most BPO companies are using nowadays are not user
friendly. The survey which the customer submitted during the time duration is being checked by
the manager before it goes to the agent for feedback analysis. This means that the feedback is not
time efficient. This as well will lessen the customer satisfaction score within every BPO Company
The general objective is to provide a service platform that can send and receive survey responses
from customers which can process responses to provide meaningful feedback efficiently and
effectively. The main objective also is that it can integrate well with existing processes.

Companies always aim to improve their customer service to meet the needs of the customer and
to give the best service possible before, during and after the customer encounter. Measuring the
customer satisfaction is one of the key elements to improve the overall service quality of the
company. In the study of Johansson & Kidron in 2017, they aimed to improve the customer
experience of the target company working on ICT-business, who is staying anonymous. This is
through measuring the current satisfaction of the customers with a survey, containing both open
and closed questions. The suggestions were made to improve the customer experience in the target
company. Customers were asked to mention particularly positive or negative experiences about
the company and what they expect from the service, among other things.
Moreover, according to Adegbola in 2010, customer satisfaction can be seen as one of the main
instruments that ensure the existence and survival of a business organization. It is very important
for the business organizations to consider offering what the customers want rather than offering
quality goods and services which may not meet up with the customer’s expectation. Therefore,
satisfying their customers so that they can maintain their existence, survival and success. Satisfying
a customer today leads to retention and attraction of new customers as a result of the current
customers of the business organization being satisfied. It analyses the process that businesses
could take towards satisfying customers, the difficulty that could be encountered when striving to
satisfy customers and the advantages that could emanate from satisfying customers and how to
the companies. In order to evaluate customer satisfaction, feedback survey is very crucial tool.
This is to know the negative feedback that can help the company improve their services and the
positive feedback that could attract clients and earn more income.
On the other hand, results of the survey could give the company the chance to avoid bigger
problems by immediately solving current complaints and minimize future risks that could affect
company’s service. In the employee’s perspective, feedback is an important tool in improving their
communication skills, work ethics and personalities in order to serve more efficiently.
2.2 SYNTHESIS
Measuring the customer satisfaction is one of the key elements to improve the overall service
quality of the company (Johansson & Kidron, 2017). Many studies had shown that the results of
the survey can be considered trustworthy with emphasis on the open questions. The sample of the
survey was also small, which decreases the reliability to some extent. It can be concluded that most
of the customers are satisfied with the current level of customer service of the some target company
but still there are services that should be improved through the customer satisfaction feedback.
The study of Adegbola in 2010 that was also about customer satisfaction significantly showed the
importance for the business organizations to consider offering what the customers want rather than
offering quality goods and services which may not meet up with the customer’s expectation.
towards satisfying their customers so that they can maintain their existence, survival and success.
Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) help the companies to understand how they are servicing
their clients and determine what areas need to improve. It also aims to solve the expensive and
complicated tools in the market considering that CSAT is cost and user friendly. This will also
solve time-consuming tool in gathering customer feedback efficiently. Thus, extensive study in
developing this customer satisfaction feedback platform is crucial for the customers as well as to
The proposed system will be the enhancement and the revised of the existing service feedback
platform system of BPO Companies, since it will be made for accessible survey method.
It will contribute to the needs of the agents to track their performances and check the satisfaction
level which they offered to their customers in a more efficient manner and less timely cost. The
manager will lessen the risk of checking the hard copied surveys for their feedbacks from time to
time. He/she can avoid redundancies and conflict with the person in charge. The proposed system
as well provides congratulatory aspects given by the satisfied customers that will make agents
The proponents used the data flow diagram to provide a more detailed breakout of pieces
of the context diagram. The proponents highlighted the main functions carried out by the
system and break down the high-level process of the context diagram into sub processes.
The system will go to the first process of the external entity which is registering the admin
The system will now go to the second process which is registering the agents with their
participants. Data flow shows that if the username and password is valid and is existing,
The first process shows the interaction between the customer and the agent during the call
time. The information given by the customer will now be stored on a data store that will be
Then, the second process which is the customer will log-in then the information will be
stored in a data store. If the information is invalid, it will loop back to the process 2.0 before
Then, it will go to the third process which is to deploy the customer feedback platform
which the manager sets policies to it. The information of the customer from the data store
will be used as a survey data which the customer answers. The response from the customer
will be stored in a data store that will be used for afterward process.
The fourth process is to generate the feedback. The data in a data store will be the CSAT
The CSAT score will be passed to the team supervisor real-time that the agent can maintain
of a system that shows the relationship between entities within the system. The proponents
identified entities of the system and their cardinality or relationship with each other.
The customer entity with an attribute of CustID will make a call to the agent entity with an
AgentID. The call will become an entity that has a primary key of CallID acquiring he
The customer will then answer to the dynamic platform which the answer will be save in a
database. The manger will manage the platform by which the manager is being managed
by the supervisor. Then the supervisor will monitor or supervises the feedback towards the

Supervisor create an account to the hired applicant. In the home page account of the agents
which they can view the Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT), Reward Points, Team
Ratings and Customer Feedback. CSAT is the grades of the agents if they received
excellent feedback from the customer that is advantage for them and if they received a poor
feedback it can harm their work or may lead for their re-training. The reward points is for
the agents because they can encourage them self to work well and competitive to other
agents. Team ratings is very important because it can affect the ratings of the company.
Customer Feedback is the opinion of the customer’s, they can give you a good/bad
Manager
In the account of the manager on his/her home page they can edit or create another
questionnaires for the survey. The manager is maintaining the ratings of the company so
he can view the ratings of the team of the supervisor’s and the agents, through the ratings
they can easily figure whose agents has a problem that need to be resolved. The manager
also can give a rewards to the hard workers agents and competitive teams. The manager
can monitor whose agents always fail in the CSAT. [See Appendix B Figure 5.2 STD]
Supervisor
The supervisor account it has a home page and team page. In the Supervisor home page
you can view the Team ratings and Agent ratings supervisor is the one who really monitor
the CSAT score and Ratings of their agents. In the team page the agents always give a
reports to his/her team supervisor if they have problems or customer complains. Supervisor
is the one who face to the customer who’s have a problem to his agents. The supervisor
follow up the customer when needed and make things right. The supervisor also can help
the agents to improve their CSAT score. [See Appendix B Figure 5.1 STD]
Customer
After the customer registered, he/she can contact to the agent through the Customer
Relationship Management Tool (CRM). CRM is the tool of the company that can generate
the survey and send to the customer. The customer can answer or leave it alone. If they
want to, they will fill-up the questionnaires and submit it. Its automatic and real-time-- the
