Built around your business. Experienced as your customer.
No two businesses operate exactly the same way, and no two Customer Experience Audits should either.
Before an assessment begins, we take the time to understand your business, your customer journey and the standards you expect your team to deliver.
We then design an anonymous customer experience specifically around your business, your industry and your objectives.
The result is not a generic mystery shopping checklist.
It's an independent assessment of the experience your customers actually receive.
We learn about your business
Every audit begins with a confidential client briefing.
We'll ask about your business, how customers typically interact with you and what matters most to you.
This may include:
Your typical customer journey
Products or services you want assessed
Your service standards
Internal procedures relevant to customers
Current areas of concern
Recent changes or staff training
Membership or loyalty programs
Sales and follow-up expectations
Specific processes you'd like independently tested
You don't need to prepare an extensive brief.
We'll guide you through the process and identify what's relevant.
Digital Transformation Blueprint
Using the information from your briefing, we build an assessment specifically for your business.
Your audit combines three layers:
Customer Experience Core
Our structured methodology for assessing the fundamentals of the customer journey.
Industry-Specific Assessment
Criteria relevant to the way businesses in your industry actually operate.
Your Business Standards
The expectations, processes and service standards you want delivered to your customers.
From these elements, we develop an appropriate customer scenario and assessment criteria.
The objective is simple:
Create a realistic customer interaction capable of testing what actually happens in normal business conditions.
We become your customer
The assessment is conducted anonymously.
Depending on the scope of the audit, the customer journey may begin before anyone walks through your door.
We may:
Search for your business as a customer would.
Navigate your website.
Review publicly available information.
Send an enquiry.
Make a phone call.
Attempt a booking.
Ask a genuine product or service question.
Attend your premises.
Purchase or experience a service.
Interact with your team.
Test an agreed customer process.
Observe appropriate sales or service opportunities.
Assess completion and follow-up.
Not every audit includes every stage.
We assess what is relevant to your customer journey.
We assess the experience
After the interaction, observations are assessed using our structured Customer Experience Framework.
We consider both operational delivery and customer experience.
Because they're not always the same thing.
A transaction can technically succeed while still creating a poor experience.
A phone call can be answered without progressing an enquiry.
A meal can arrive quickly while the customer feels ignored.
A product can be sold without the customer receiving useful advice.
A booking system can complete a reservation while creating unnecessary customer effort.
Our methodology is designed to identify those differences.
We separate fact from perspective
Customer experience will always contain an element of human perception.
That doesn't make it meaningless, but it does need to be reported responsibly.
We distinguish between:
Observation
What objectively occurred.
Customer Perspective
How the interaction was experienced.
Business Impact
Why the finding may matter.
Recommendation
What management could reasonably consider doing about it.
This prevents subjective impressions from being presented as objective facts and gives management the context needed to decide what action is appropriate.
You receive your report
Your confidential report is built specifically around the assessment conducted.
It isn't a data dump.
And it isn't pages of boxes with ticks beside them.
The report is designed so management can understand the most important findings within minutes, then explore the supporting detail where required.
Depending on the audit, reporting may include:
Customer Experience Score
Customer Journey Overview
Operational Delivery
Customer Engagement
Expectation Alignment
Company Standard Compliance
Customer Friction Points
Commercial Opportunities
Key Strengths
Detailed Findings
Priority Recommendations
The most important information is presented first.
The evidence and context sit behind it.
