“Kinetics is the main operational system used across the Accommodation, Catering and Events team at The University of Edinburgh. It covers both student and commercial activity and it is therefore vital to the success of our service delivery. We rely on the system and we therefore rely on the team behind the system. Since I joined the university 3 years ago, I have had the pleasure of speaking to a number of Kinetics colleagues across a number of departments and all have been friendly, very helpful and determined to find solutions to issues.”
Caroline Bobb-Semple
Head of Commercial Accommodation, The University of Edinburgh
We have hundreds and hundreds of internal events every year, and trying to do it manually, which is what we’ve been doing with paperwork, phone calls and direct emails, was highly time-consuming. Customer Hub has made things more effective and efficient by reducing huge amounts of admin, labour, and time. We find that it’s effective, clear, easy to use, and adaptable. Customers get a quick response, and since a lot of people like working online these days, so they find it comfortable, and the feedback has been great!
