Digital Platform to transform how Businesses engage with their Customers

Built cross-industry from ground up, this platform is targeted at businesses of all sizes selling or providing any product or service to institutional or individual customers.

The Challenge

Most businesses have a transactional relationship with their customers, characterized by infrequent and ineffective communication, resulting in lack of customer engagement which in turn results in the following challenges for the business:

Not being close to the pulse of the customer, hence not being able to understand the likes and dislikes of the customer for the business’ product/service
Lack of brand recognition and customer mindshare
High and unpredictable customer attrition, impacting repeat business revenues significantly
Lower customer life time value

Higher new customer acquisition costs due to missing out on word of mouth customer referrals

Approach and Solution

Our Lead Consultant and his team developed a unique digital Customer Engagement Platform that enables businesses to continuously communicate with its customers for mutual value creation. This involved:

Conceptualizing the business and the platform end-to-end
Business Model and Business Architecture
Application, Technical, and Data Architecture

The platform had the following key features:

Main functionality included Enterprise Feedback & Complaints Management, Referrals, Offers, and Online Customer and Employee Communities
Cross-industry configurable Customer Journey Mapping underpinned by customer experience KPI framework
Platform was made available as Software as a Service on the Cloud allowing easy subscription model of service consumption, both by the business and its customers
Cloud-native using Microservices Architecture, Responsive and Multi-lingual UI, making available the same functionality over desktop/laptop, tablet, and smartphone
Relational as well as unstructured data (Big data), On-demand Analytics, Recommendation engine for knowledge articles
Highly scalable, High performance platform, developed using Hybrid Agile methodology

The team implemented the platform for a Retail firm, specifically configured customer journey maps for their context in collaboration with senior business leaders from top management, marketing, and operations. Also trained them on the platform and gave them the roadmap of initiatives for effectively embedding the platform in their day-to-day interactions with their customers and supply chain partners.
