Manufacturer of Sporting Goods and Safety Equipment Company Case Study
Our client is a US-based manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods and safety equipment. The nationally recognized company makes more than 2.5 million dollars in revenue a year and primarily focuses on producing high-quality products and delivering excellent customer service. The client contacted Cogneesol for assistance with their customer support operations.
The Business Challenges
It was challenging to identify areas that needed improvement; we established a global process development program along with a business process management team in order to find the client company’s areas of improvement.
Out of more than 200 areas clearly-identified by our team, we found the foremost challenge was to help the client move from an outdated customer feedback process to a new, more reliable one.
The client experienced a decline in capture rates because it was complicated for consum-ers/prospects to register with the system, and the average response time for queries/feedbacks sent by customers was way longer than the customers’ expectation..
Cogneesol helped us keep our promise to customers, grow our customer base, improve market reputation, and increase revenue. Highly recommended!
