Revolutionizing Voice of Customer: PrestaShop's Journey with ClientZen

The Challenge

As they received more and more customer feedback, the process of collecting customer feedback became harder and took a lot longer. The teams were spending a lot of time sorting through all the feedback.

Also, without a centralized system to manage feedback, it was difficult to prioritize the actions according to customer feedback. 

‍

Collecting customer feedback and leveraging it for customer loyalty was becoming a challenge.

It was clear that they needed a more streamlined and automated approach to make better use of customer feedback. The goal was to move from dealing with feedback piecemeal to a more organized and proactive approach. This would not only save time but also allow for a deeper understanding of customer expectations.

This need for a better solution led PrestaShop to explore different VoC tools in the market. They were looking for a tool that could automatically organize customer feedback, find meaningful insights, and present them in a way that was easy to act on. They also strived for a tool capable of aggregating feedback from different channels to gain a comprehensive view of customer opinions across various touchpoints and at multiple stages of the customer lifecycle.

The Search for a VoC Solution

With specific criteria in mind, including GDPR compliance, multi-channel feedback gathering, and affordability, the search continued.

‍

ClientZen emerged as a promising candidate, distinguished by:

‍

• 30-day Trial: They offered a full month's trial, providing ample time for PrestaShop to assess the tool's effectiveness and ease of integration without financial commitment.
• Extensive Evaluation: This period allowed for a thorough appraisal of ClientZen's suitability for PrestaShop's specific needs, including its ability to streamline the VoC program across multiple departments.
• ClientZen Demo: The demo provided by ClientZen proved highly effective for the PrestaShop team, offering them a tangible opportunity to experience the actual value of ClientZen's Voice of the Customer (VoC) and customer feedback analytics tool firsthand.

ClientZen’s Impact on Prestashop VoC Program

Enhanced Efficiency and Team Productivity with ClientZen

PrestaShop's adoption of ClientZen has led to remarkable gains in efficiency, especially considering the substantial volume of customer feedback they receive - over 150,000 pieces annually from various sources.

‍

Before ClientZen, analyzing this feedback would have required a team far larger than their current two-person VoC team. ClientZen's tools have been instrumental in enabling these two individuals to perform a workload that would otherwise necessitate a team of over ten people. This significant time-saving aspect of ClientZen underscores its effectiveness in managing and interpreting large-scale customer feedback.

‍

‍

Impact on Product Releases and Customer Support

Since integrating ClientZen into their operations, PrestaShop has observed a consistent decrease in support tickets, particularly concerning their main products.

‍

This improvement is largely attributed to their enhanced ability to address customer issues and understand their needs and expectations quickly.

‍

For instance, upon identifying a registration issue in one of their products through ClientZen and quantifying the number of occurrences, PrestaShop swiftly updated the registration funnel, thereby resolving the problem effectively. This proactive approach has not only reduced the incidence of bugs but also ensured optimal customer experience post-release.

‍

Positive Shift in Customer Sentiment and Loyalty

A notable shift in customer sentiment has been obvious since PrestaShop began using ClientZen. There's been a significant decrease in negatively perceived customer feedback alongside an increase in positive responses.

‍

Negative sentiment during the onboarding phase for PrestaShop products decreased by 15%, demonstrating a smoother transition and improved customer satisfaction.

‍

The overall customer support interaction ratio around Prestashop's products was reduced by 9%, reflecting the effectiveness of the process and freeing up customer support teams for other tasks. The nature of client conversations about PrestaShop products also shifted positively, with a more than 1% drop in average client conversations and a 4% decrease in negative sentiment, indicating that ClientZen's insights have markedly enhanced product resonance with clients.

‍

Moreover, this shift has positively impacted customer loyalty and retention, particularly for key products and services. By analyzing trends, such as the correlation between a decrease in negative comments and a reduction in churn rate, ClientZen has proven to be a valuable asset in enhancing customer loyalty. This data-driven approach has enabled PrestaShop to maintain a pulse on customer satisfaction and adapt swiftly to their evolving needs.

‍

Conclusion

The journey from manual feedback structuring to adopting ClientZen marked a significant evolution in PrestaShop's VoC initiative, with a 15% drop in negative sentiment during the onboarding phase.

‍

ClientZen not only met expectations but also fostered a culture of customer-centricity, evident in the over 1% decrease in average client conversations and a 4% reduction in negative sentiment towards PrestaShop products. 

‍

"ClientZen facilitated a smooth adoption of our Voice of Customer program across various departments without any hurdles. With its extremely intuitive interface, the onboarding process was a breeze, and now every department relies on ClientZen daily to garner the essential customer insights tailored for each team." Lucas Marchionne, VoC Manager, at Prestashop.
