Atria Wealth Solutions
March 21, 2023
Credit union-focused broker-dealer recognized for innovation behind Service Scorecard™
San Diego, CA — March 21, 2023 — CUSO Financial Services, L.P. (CFS), a subsidiary of Atria Wealth Solutions, Inc. (Atria), is proud to announce it has received its tenth consecutive BISA Technology Innovation Award. The 2023 award recognizes Service Scorecard™, which captures, consolidates and tracks the real-time status of every service request initiated through email or by phone. It also measures the performance of the responsiveness and effectiveness of service teams over time and empowers our teams to expand and enhance the superior service levels we strive for every day.
“Our unrelenting focus on data and analytics, coupled with our deep commitment to delivering an extraordinary service experience, led us to create the Service Scorecard™,” said Brian Bichler, Co-Head of Atria’s Financial Institution channel. “It has revolutionized our ability to provide a differentiated service level to our clients. We want to provide full transparency of all open and closed items that are in the home office and show how long something has been open and if we met or breached our service level. It is a way to score us as a firm hence the name, Service Scorecard. I am pleased to say that 90% of our items are resolved in the first call or email and 85% of the other matters are resolved in 8 hours or less. Exceptional service within our firm is designed, executed and measured by our team through this powerful solution.”
The Service Scorecard™ reflects CFS’s commitment not only to service but also to maximizing efficiencies in running programs and practices. By anticipating and quickly resolving service issues, executives, program managers and financial professionals can focus on the experience and needs of their own clients and members, minimizing the time and resources spent on administrative and operational matters.
