One of the most distinct business trends
Being able to have a completely customer-centric business development is one of the strongest corporate trends – globally. The voice of the customer is a constant source of information that affects the way companies strategize, the way they develop new products and assortments, their sales channels and entire stores and also the way they roll out marketing campaigns. But collecting endless data from customer feedback and consumer behaviour is useless, unless it´s interpreted, analysed, and made sense of so that it can be put to work and acted on at all levels of the organisation.
One of the more sought after insights is a person’s purchasing behaviour in the new Omni channel world. Their behaviour changes more often than ever before as a result of the new purchase opportunities caused by the rapid and global digitization. Trying to understand new paths to purchase to increase penetration is something that retailers and consumer goods companies are constantly struggling with.
"One of my important tasks is to help retailers and consumer goods companies to understand the underlying reasons to the constantly changing behaviour of the consumers. What is ultimately driving purchase in this new online/offline world? Where should the investment be made? Based on ActionHub® my colleagues and I can connect these insights with a business own KPI´s to fine-tune their business growth, says Lindsay Cowan, new MD at Nepa UK."
Nepa is one of the fastest growing companies in Swedish history, enabling organisations to improve their business performance by becoming customer centric at their fingertips. By merging behavioural data with customer feedback data in our ActionHub® platform, our clients can turn the voice and the footprints of the consumer into financial KPI’s and provide it to the right stakeholder in real-time.
