Telenor Digital powers Indosat Ooredoo's customer channels on Facebook

• Launched Facebook Mobile Center to deliver personalised customer experience
• Partnership helps accelerate Indonesia's transformation into a digital nation

​INDONESIA’s Indosat Ooredoo has announced a strategic partnership with Telenor Digital to leverage on the latter’s global platform, Millom, to launch new digital solutions to improve customer experiences. 

The partnership, which is experienced at the global level, will support the acceleration of Indonesia's transformation into a digital nation, Indosat Ooredoo said in a statement.

With the Millom platform, Indosat Ooredoo is able to engage with its customers directly on the digital platform, thus allowing for a more personalised customer experience, Indosat said.

It will also allow the company to provide innovative offerings in user-friendly ways and a smooth integration between its digital ecosystem with mobile apps, such as Facebook, it added.

The partnership also sees Indosat Ooredoo and Telenor Digital launching the Facebook Mobile Center, a customer engagement channel within the Facebook app that mobile operators can use to deliver seamless, in-app sales and service experiences. 

This allows Indosat Ooredoo’s customers to easily purchase data packs without needing to leave the Facebook app. Customers can also access customer service experiences, such as chatting with Indosat Ooredoo customer support via WhatsApp, said Indosat.

Ritesh Kumar Singh, chief commercial officer of Indosat Ooredoo, said, “We are proud that Indosat Ooredoo has launched our Mobile Center in Indonesia in the Facebook App, and it is powered by our understanding of what our customers’ need. Customers can now buy data bundles and get airtime and data bundle advance by interacting with the ‘Mobile Center - Indosat Ooredoo’.”

“We are excited to be working with Indosat Ooredoo to deliver digital sales capabilities, powering their customer offerings, and integrating them with leading technology companies,” said Stig Atle Waagbø, chief executive officer (CEO) of Telenor Digital.

“The mix of Indosat Ooredoo’s strong customer offerings and partnerships combined with our distribution platform will help Indonesians stay connected to the digital world.”

Using the Millom platform, Indosat Ooredoo is increasing the pace towards digitalisation and strengthening its commitment to delivering new and digital ways of living for Indonesians, the company said.

“This initiative would not have been possible without the close cooperation between Indosat Ooredoo, Facebook, and Millom. We will leverage Millom's technology, intelligence, and experience to bring continuous enhancements to our digital channels, which our customers can benefit from,” said Ritesh
