• News Facts
• Over a 12-month period, adoption of Kronos banking solutions – specifically Kronos Customer Connection Solution, which includes Appointment Concierge and Sales and Service modules, respectively – surged 225% as hundreds of financial institutions invested in technology to enhance the account holder experience across all channels and inside the branch.
  • Appointment Concierge enhances the branch experience by:
    • Enabling account holders to schedule appointments via their computer, tablet, or smartphone and receive email and text reminders with automated calendar invites to reduce branch wait times for customers and the number of no-shows for staff;
    • Connecting customers with the most qualified employee available based on that person’s talents, abilities, and availability via customizable employee profiles; and
    • Empowering branch managers to staff locations appropriately and drive better decisions by analyzing key metrics – including trends at each branch – to accommodate peak traffic times and increases in appointments on specific days and times.
  • Sales and Service module untethers banking managers and supervisors from time-consuming, administrative tasks – via real-time updates into customer demand, employee productivity, and operational efficiency – allowing them to manage in the moment with:
    • Customizable dashboards that alert managers to trouble in critical areas, such as customer experience and branch performance, as well as essential service thresholds, such as long wait-times, allowing staff to act quickly to meet customer demand;
    • Workflow features that help mitigate compliance risk by providing lobby staff with a step-by-step list of the procedures associated with each institution’s products and services; and
    • Ability to view the number of products sold by branch location and track detailed cross-sell metrics, enabling targeted coaching opportunities to individual employees for better results and additional sales.
• The number of organizations that selected Appointment Concierge more than doubled in a year, while Kronos Sales and Service for banking is now used at nearly 1,300 different locations nationwide.
• Financial institutions using Kronos for Banking solutions, which Kronos added via the acquisition of FMSI in 2017, include Astera Credit Union; Community First Credit Union; Florida Credit Union; Heritage Bank N.A.; La Capitol Federal Credit Union; and LOC Federal Credit Union.
