Context, Approach & Methodology

The goal was to achieve a customer-centric digital transformation, and one of the initiatives was about understanding the current state of customer service. This involved using a customer service-review framework to assess customer interactions, back-end operations, processes and policies, and technology interfaces. Our analysis incorporated insights from business (interviews with stakeholders), customers (interviews with Wasl customers), and expert heuristics (mystery audits and touchpoint analysis).

We focused on Systems & Tech review, Mystery shopping, Touchpoint analysis, as well as As-Is and Future CX journey mapping. The scope included collecting and segmenting customer data, emphasizing the importance of customer segmentation for both businesses and customers.

Key Activities:

  • Conducted 39 discovery sessions
  • Interviewed 25 stakeholders
  • Reviewed 62 documents
  • Listened to dozens of calls
  • Checked IVR and chat flows
  • Received call centre email templates
  • Analyzed 6 datasets

The Groundwork

Customer Data

For Wasl’s customer segmentation, we cleaned and analyzed six datasets encompassing six months of data with 59,726 records intotal. Several gaps were identified in Wasl’s current data management processes:

  • Data Recording Consistency: Inconsistent address and phone number entries.
  • Customer Data Collection: Each business unit followed its own method of collecting data.
  • Customer Type Classification: Primary customer type not updated with new acquisitions.
  • Customer Data Management: Limited use of customer data for strategic purposes.
  • Presence of Sub-Sub-Lease Records: Records that violate leasing regulations.
  • Land Customer Data Management: Inefficient data management in the land business unit.

Initiatives to Address Gaps:

  • Optimize data collection: Example - KYC program
  • Organize database structure: For better customer type classification
  • Enhance documentation process
  • Unify data collection methods
  • Utilize customer data through segmentation
  • Optimize land inquiry process: Progressive profiling and clear progress indicators
Customer Classifications

Analyzed records to classify customers by business unit (freehold, commercial leasing, residential leasing, and land leasing), customer type (individual corporate, corporate, and individual), and property type (residential unit, land, commercial unit).

Customer Segmentation Applications:

  • Targeted Marketing: Recommendations, pricing, and promotions
  • Product Development andInnovation: Demand and product gap analysis
  • Personalized CustomerSupport: Complaint resolution, channel prioritization, and knowledge base

Ecosystem Mapping

Mapped the customer management ecosystem, including social media, email, web chat bot, app, call center, and walk-in experience.Identified unresolved issues and pain points across different stages of the customer journey.

Pain Points

Identified 40+ pain points distributed among website, call center, walk-in, and app stages. Pain points were related to:

  • Processes and SLAs for managing escalations
  • Communications consistency and content update processes
  • Customer-facing apps automation and self-service framework
  • Customer experience journeys across multiple journeys leading to channel shifts

The Results

  • Data Cleaning & Analysis: Analyzed 59,726 records to provide accurate customer segmentation.
  • Improved Data Management: Identified and addressed data inconsistencies and inefficiencies.
  • Enhanced Customer Segmentation: Developed targeted strategies for marketing, product development, and personalized customer support.
  • Optimized Customer Experience (CX): Mapped customer journey and identified pain points for improved customer interactions.
  • Strategic Recommendations: Provided actionable insights and initiatives to enhance Wasl’s customer service and digital transformation efforts.
  • Customer Experience Initiatives: Outlined 14 initiatives with current standing, future goals, approach, responsible parties, and success criteria.
