Our client is an international consumer electronics manufacturing firm specializing in IT and imaging equipment.  The firm started out in the mid-1930s with the vision to make the best product in the various categories.  It is now a renowned brand in digital imaging industry.

Adding to an already superior line of products, our client in Singapore wanted to differentiate itself further by becoming the undisputed leader in customer service in the Asian region.

Blue-dge was commissioned to design and undertake comprehensive actionable customer insights studies in the Asian countries (including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and India) to learn about what our client could do to lift the level of customer service at all their service centres to the next level.

In addition, our client needed to know their competitive position in the area of customer service relative to their major competitors. This allowed our client to work on improving their service to a competitive level and keeping their customers delighted.

The Blue-dge team designed a customer experience insight’s framework that allowed our client to know its strengths and shortcomings, which were pivotal to its customers’ satisfaction.

In addition to the insights required by client, the Blue-dge team found the customer base to lack homogeneity and subsequently identified a few customer clusters which needed to be analysed separately.

Operational strategies that fell in the domain of customer relationship management and partner relationship management were recommended following the findings.  As a consequence of the insights obtained, new key performance indicators (KPIs) were developed for the company.

In the second part of the framework, Blue-dge undertook benchmarking studies to determine how well the firm was doing relative to its competitors.

Based on the insights obtained by Blue-dge, our client made significant changes to its operations in Singapore.  KPIs recommended were implemented, resulting in the firm’s focus that is aligned to customers’ needs.

Our client’s market share grew significantly, evident from the Net Promoter Score which tracked customer experience directly.   In the range of product categories examined, benchmarking studies in 2012 showed our client’s Net Promoter Score exceeded the nearest competitor by more than twenty percentage points.

• The service attributes that were important to both customer groups (using data modelling methods) so that more resources could be allocated to improving on ‘key drivers’ of customer satisfaction.  Key performance indicators (KPIs) were created for the managers and consultants of the company to direct efforts to enhance customer service.

Transformation began for the company.  With the support of our client’s senior management team, the KPIs were implemented and consultants focused on the important areas.  Buy-in was not immediate but took time for implementation.  Presentation was made to different groups of managers with different focus to achieve the overall intended goal as indicated by the insights.
