The engaged IntelliShop to step in and help.

CLIENT OBJECTIVES

Using our Compliance Auditing solution, the client sought to:

• Unify the measurement of customer-facing operations across locations
• Ensure operational compliance in all stores
• Catalog assets and attributes for all locations

OUR APPROACH

IntelliShop recommended:

• Customer Experience Evaluations – Frequent observation of the desired operational outcomes to improved customer experience across the board.
• Compliance Auditing – Measure operational compliance to operational standards and catalog assets and attributes.

THE SOLUTION

The program provided objective insights (supported by photographs) into various customer-facing operations, including fueling services, stocking levels, equipment functionality, and service engagement. Additionally, we conducted detailed site assessments at all locations to catalog their assets and attributes.

Because the nationwide chain allowed each of its business units to operate autonomously, they needed a unique approach to measure customer-facing operations. In face of a disjointed methodology for data collection, our team of experts developed a unified program to make efforts cohesive.
