To understand and improve customer experience in stores
Requesting customer feedback post in-store purchase
Quick solutions to recurring complaints and high satisfaction, exceeding industry benchmark NPS index
Challenge
The challenge was to measure and improve customer experience in Israel’s competitive retail industry, while maintaining a high customer satisfaction level in stores.
Solution
Match Retail uses Howazit’s VoC (Voice of Customer) solution to measure customer satisfaction after in-store purchases. Through an interactive and automated chatbot, the company collects customer feedback. This helps to better understand true customer desires and needs, as well as to improve their level of satisfaction. The chatbot also includes an NPS question – a loyalty index.
Results
According to Lilach Flato, the director of marketing and customer experience,
“Management waits with anticipation for the weekly report containing open text feedback from customers. Receiving customer feedback has helped to significantly shorten internal processes – and many times, the solutions are applicable and easy. Thanks to working with Howazit, we are enabled to resolve many of our customer complaints quickly and efficiently.”
Following the effective handling of repeated complaints and responding to customer feedback, customer satisfaction and loyalty levels have increased to above the industry benchmark.
