The leading operator in fibre and services in the north of Spain needed a technological solution to carry out 100% online customer registration and deregistration procedures.
For a leading telecommunications operator such as the Euskaltel Group, it was essential to have a secure and reliable solution that would allow it to digitize its processes with maximum security and without affecting the experience of its users.
Thanks to our identity document verification technology, they have incorporated the digitalized and automatic detection in their database of incomplete customer identity documents or no longer considered valid (such as an expired ID card), which allows them to save a significant amount of management hours.

Improving the user experience while maintaining security and trust.
Customer account opening and cancellation are among the most common processes for telecommunications operators, and their management involves a great deal of time, money and resources.
Customer identity verification has to be done in a secure manner, which has traditionally required the physical presence of customers in a store or office.
However, as digitization advances, users increasingly demand digital interaction with companies. If it can be done online, no one wants to waste time and money on unnecessary travel.
