Hindin Communications Clients Dominate Manawatu Contact Centre Awards Nominations
Press release, 14-November-06, Hindin Communications Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand: Three contact centre clients of
Hindin Communications, creators of KnowledgeBase software, are well represented at this year's nominations for the 2006
Manawatu Contact Centre Awards.
The awards recognise excellence in a number of aspects of contact centre operations including management, training and
health and safety.
Key KnowledgeBase clients in the Manawatu region are the Palmerston North City Council, Land Transport New Zealand and
Massey University.
Massey University is one of three nominees for the Supreme Award – Contact Centre of the Year. All three organisations
are well represented across the range of categories and fill the field for the category of Contact Centre Manager of the
Year. Massey and LTNZ have four nominations each.
Nominees have been visited by judges over the last three weeks and award winners will be announced in Palmerston North
on November 17 at a black tie dinner.
- Hindin's KnowledgeBase system has been used by the Palmerston North City Council for five years and was recently
implemented in an After Hours Contact Centre servicing ratepayers for seven district councils.
- Massey University first invested in KnowledgeBase in 1999, using it to help manage their student enquiries and track
any referrals to back office functions.
- LTNZ has been using KnowledgeBase at their Transport Registry Office in Palmerston North since November 2005,
providing rapid responses to queries from drivers registering their vehicles.
Hindin has been working in the Manawatu region for a number of years and is gradually expanding its client base to
councils and other organisations in the surrounding areas, as well as New Zealand wide.
David Johnstone MD at Hindin Communications says “Having so many clients being recognised through these awards is a
wonderful acknowledgement of their achievements and also of the powerful solutions that KnowledgeBase can provide.
The success of our clients is being reflected in the continued growth of Hindin to keep up with demand and the level of
service required. ”
