Honeywell Business Solutions Selects CustomerSat for Multi-Channel Voice-of-Customer System

CustomerSat Solution Enables Honeywell to Drive Customer Satisfaction through Automated Action Management

Mountain View, CA – March 23, 2004 – Honeywell Business Solutions, a unit of diversified technology and manufacturing leader Honeywell, has selected CustomerSat, Inc. to design, implement, and manage the feedback component of its Voice of Customer (VOC) and Voice of the Market (VOM) programs, both part of its internal Six Sigma Plus continuous improvement process. The CustomerSat Enterprise Customer Experience (ECEM™) system manages all aspects of the feedback program, from collection of customer feedback through email and phone, to managing automated action management processes based on survey responses and comprehensive data analysis.

“CustomerSat enables Honeywell to seamlessly manage a very complex customer feedback and action system,” said Anthony Pichnarcik, Global Voice of the Customer Leader, Honeywell Business Solutions. “The automated system has helped us to ensure that the feedback from our customers gets to the right people who can act on it; leading to improved overall product and service delivery as well as improved customer satisfaction and loyalty.”


Multi-Level Feedback Program

Honeywell selected CustomerSat to develop and manage the VOC and VOM programs as part of its total improvement process, which reaches across different groups:

  • Customers: Ongoing feedback surveys inform the field sales and management personnel through ongoing interaction with external customers using phone and email surveys. Using CustomerSat’s automated action management system, survey responses speed alerts based on a host of criteria, which open cases and track the actions taken to resolve customer issues.
  • Market: Quarterly feedback solicited from key target audiences allows Honeywell to track perceptions of the value, price, and overall quality of Honeywell products and services vis-ŕ-vis the competition. This process forms the basis of its Customer Value Analysis program.
  • Sales: Surveys delivered after a “win” as well as a “loss” provides sales management with valuable insight into the what customer rank as the key benefits driving sales, as well as pinpointing specific areas of improvement to drive future sales.

CustomerSat’s Cutting-Edge Technologies Deployed

Honeywell ACS utilizes the full range of CustomerSat ECEM advanced technology:

Automated Action Management: All customer feedback programs use CustomerSat’s automated Action Management system, which opens cases based on either an individual survey response, such as low satisfaction on service delivered to a specific customer, or strategic action plans resulting from analysis of aggregate data, such as the need for training or coaching for different groups. When issues are identified, business rules automatically open cases and distribute alerts to pre-define team members, creating a continuous communications platform from initial feedback to final actions. Honeywell ACS Business Solutions has standardized its action processes on CustomerSat’s ECEM Action Management system.

Multi-Channel Data Collection: Honeywell’s multi-level feedback program demands the use of both email and phone surveys. CustomerSat’s Multi-Channel Data Collection solution recognizes the data field identifying the survey type, automatically driving the contact record to the appropriate agent’s phone queue, or to the email deployment queue.

“CustomerSat recognizes the need for many of our clients to utilize various customer contact methods, including phone and email,” explains Russell Haswell, V.P. Sales, CustomerSat. “The automated Multi-Channel Data Collection solution has been a critical part of the Honeywell deployment, which has allowed them to achieve high response rates and a high ROI.”

Enterprise-wide Data Distribution: Managers and executives across Honeywell ACS have immediate access to the customer feedback data through Push Reports, delivering key reports via email, and Sub-user accounts, allowing personnel to perform drill-down analysis on data specific to their area.

“CustomerSat ECM provides a powerful, flexible means to drive customer feedback data across various Honeywell regional divisions,” states Pichnarcik. “It has greatly enhanced our ability to take fast, corrective action to solve customer issues, while providing us greater insight into strategic changes that will best serve our diverse customer base. We expect to see continuous gains in customer satisfaction and retention which are directly attributable to CustomerSat’s technology solution.”
