Tech Start-up launches an app that helps users report dropped calls in 5 seconds

As it is done currently, reporting a problem like a dropped call or a data connectivity issue involves the time consuming method of calling the customer care centre of the operator and describing the problem. The customer care executives then ask you some details about when and where you faced the problem as well as details about what device and service you were using. Sometimes they send network engineers over to try and diagnose the problem as well. Needless to say, the success rate of solving network problems this way is quite low; and the time it takes for the problem to be solved can be anywhere from a week to 6 months.
RedMango Analytics recognized these issues and have launched an app (Experience.Me) to help users report problems such as call drops within 5 seconds without having to call customer care.
The app is available on both the Google and iOS app stores. Once it is installed, the app works in the background measuring the quality of experience provided to the user throughout the day. If it feels that the user is likely to have experienced a problem, a smart popup appears asking the user to confirm and report the problem.
Apart from reporting a problem, the app also allows the user to measure their experience using a series of automated tests.
Once a user reports the problem, the app automatically collects information about the problem such as time, location & network tower details and sends it immediately to the RedMango servers.
RedMango immediately forwards all problems to the respective operators without revealing your identity. Operators now also have a head start on resolving these issues without bothering users for details. To further help users select the best service provider in the city, RedMango Analytics has also launched a consumer portal (www.mobileindia.me) that has details about mobile experiences captured across over 20 cities across India.
Elaborating on the launch of its services, Umang Shah, Co-Founder & Head-Innovation and Marketing commented, “We want to make it easy for users to report problems with their service so that they do not have to suffer silently. At the same time, we want to help mobile operators resolve these problems so that the consumer experience can be improved. Our Experience.Me platform is designed to do just that.”
