"Our next step is to open the system up to customers to allow them to view their own data. This will relieve pressure on our staff by giving our customers the right to produce their own copy invoices and statements and to access their account history."

So when Greentree's WebView was released, Patton saw this as an exciting opportunity to give all staff access to view and query the valuable real-time data held within Greentree from any location via the web portal.

"Our next step is to open the system up to customers to allow them to view their own data. This will relieve pressure on our staff by giving our customers the right to produce their own copy invoices and statements and to access their account history," says Phil Hitchins, General Manager, New Zealand.
Hitchins feels that the most important outcome to date has been happier, more productive staff. He's now looking forward to the rollout of iPhones which will improve WebView accessibility even further.
