A central international service number for MICHELIN OnWay members

Bosch Communication Center is the Michelin Group’s new partner for contact management in the MICHELIN OnWay customer loyalty scheme for Germany, Switzerland and Austria. MICHELIN OnWay members can utilize the service free of charge if they get a flat tire or need directions. To request help from associates of the Business Process Outsourcing service provider, members just need to call a central international telephone number.

Prompt assistance through specially trained agents
As part of a six-week training program, the associates from Bosch Communication Center France were specially trained in MICHELIN OnWay processes in order to guarantee a high level of service quality in customer communication.

“The partnership between the two Groups, in connection with their similar industrial backgrounds as automotive suppliers, carries great potential for both companies,” explains Niclas Bychowski, Director of Bosch Communication Center France. “On one side, we have the quality and the innovative strength of an international tire manufacturer. On the other side, Bosch Communication Center combines its expertise in the automotive sector with its experiences as a Business Process Outsourcing service provider. This creates a synergy, from which the members of the MICHELIN OnWay program can benefit directly.”

The MICHELIN OnWay customer loyalty scheme
If customers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria purchase two or more Michelin summer/winter tires, they are eligible for MICHELIN OnWay membership. This gives them access to the various services for two years free of charge. In the event of a flat tire, for example, the associates on the Bosch Communication Center hotline will arrange for help to arrive within the hour. If tires become damaged, members can take advantage of free tire repair, while membership additionally includes discount on the cost of new tires if they need replacing — 50 percent discount in the first year and 25 percent in the second year. The service package also contains free background information on routes, such as hotel or restaurant tips, or the location of the next gas station. MICHELIN OnWay members can request this information by phone or text message from Bosch associates.
