HeidelbergCement’s global B2B CX strategy that inspires customer-led business transformations
The global CX program of HeidelbergCement Group was launched in 2015 to initiate a customer-centric transformation, support the differentiation of products and services by a closer alignment with customers and increase customer lifetime value. The CX program’s flexible design allows each market to adapt it to its strategic agenda, market conditions and culture, which differs greatly from continent to continent.
The transformation of each market is enabled by an end-to-end methodology, loosely based on a Net Promoter System® approach, that doesn’t just stop at measuring, but focuses on action and empowers employees to create greater customer value.
The GemSeek CX Platform is the technology enabler of the program which enables executives to track feedback in real-time, analyze it, close-the-loop with dissatisfied customers and initiate strategic CX improvements based on the gathered insights. Since the start, 43 markets have launched the program and 2135 CX improvement initiatives have been completed.
As a result, global NPS® score has been growing continuously. Studies also show customer satisfaction translates to business performance through loyalty, a higher share of wallet and lower price sensitivity.
Heidelberg Cement Accelerated its Customer-Centric Transformation Journey on 38 Markets with GemSeek‘s CX Platform
The GemSeek CX platform was a key driver of Heidelberg’s journey from the early stages of its NPS program to a truly global CX framework that not only measures customer satisfaction, but enables multiple strategic, localised improvement initiatives.
