Caixa receives report revealing serious deficiencies in technical assistance of Brazil’s lotteries

The Association of Lottery Entrepreneurs (ALSPI) of Brazil makes available the results of the survey on the equipment and systems infrastructure of the lottery network throughout the country, carried out between July 17 and 26. Its conclusions were offered to Caixa Economica Federal management to overcome a serious shortage of technical assistance offered to lottery shops, causing harmful consequences for the entrepreneurs and customers that are served by the network.

According to ALSPI, the survey was conducted to map the quality of service and maintenance of service providers contracted by CAIXA. State participation was over 90%, with 1075 questionnaires answered from 76 of 94 regional super intendencies (SRs).

Among the results presented is the low number of calls received on time, only 8.3%, and the high percentage, 77%, of calls closed without any kind of service and / or technical contact, which represents about 4 thousand cases. It was also shown that 84% of the lottery unit terminals were stopped sometime between January and June 2019. The average was 17 days closed due to lack of maintenance, which generated direct financial loss for 89% of the units.

According to the Association, the results and conclusions were sent to Caixa to collaborate with the improvement of the processes and, thus, to overcome the failures in the technical assistance offered to the establishments.
