What notes are put and is there any method of retrieving calls based on Vehicle
Registration (are notes made against calls), Caller Phone Number, or any other criteria
to retrieve a call for evidence in court.
Auckland Transport
Detailed notes are not raised against each call, only a high level wrap
response
code to determine the nature of the enquiry. Any requests/ feedback
raised is recorded in another system (Microsoft Dynamics CRM),
against a Customer Contact record. Calls can be searched in our
telephony system however using a variety of different parameters
including the phone number used to contact the Call Centre, date and
time of interaction and wrap code.
However, we cannot search using vehicle registration (such enquiries,
including Parking are taken by our AT Specialist team at Auckland
Council on Ph. 09 3553553).
Auckland Council
Channels to retrieve cal s can only be done via the caller’s phone
response
number, on the proviso it is not private and by the date and time. AC
cannot retrieve/identify calls based on vehicle registration. If there are
alternate channels for retrieving calls, we have not yet been advised
by Genesys Solutions via Vodafone.
From a records standpoint, all requests from customers that require a
service or action (Request For Service or Request For Information),
will be recorded via the AT CRM system.
You can make an official request for information with Auckland Transport for a transcript of the call
recording.
We trust the above information has addressed the matters raised however, should you believe that
we have not responded appropriately to your request, you have the right in accordance with section
27(3) of the LGOIMA to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman to seek an investigation
and review in regard to this matter.
If you have any further queries, please contact me on (09) 355 3553 during business hours, quoting
Local Government Official Information request number CAS-370855-G2Q4R6.
Yours sincerely
Customer Liaison Team Leader
