Philips Online Shop chooses CustomerGauge to measure Loyalty and Voice of Customer

Philips Online Shop has purchased Directness BV’s CustomerGauge software to measure customer loyalty and understand customer sentiment. CustomerGauge is a hosted software solution from Directness BV designed to automatically survey customers and measure loyalty. The results are compatible with the Net Promoter® Score* (NPS), acknowledged as the industry standard for loyalty measurement.

Directness has been working with Philips in Europe and the US to improve customer experience in the Online Shop, and has supplied CustomerGauge as a tool to measure every transaction. CustomerGauge allows Philips to quantify and classify comments, convert free text comments into statistical data, and summarize the "Voice of the Customer" to executives. Philips is committed to Net Promoter as the company-wide benchmark of Customer Experience.

"Working with Directness has proven very efficient and useful for Philips Online Shop" says Gilles Domartini, VP Online for Philips Consumer Lifestyle. "It really helped us monitor how we are improving customer service through the shop, and push toward best in class NPS"

Adam Dorrell, Managing Director of Directness says: "We have worked closely with Philips in the last year to ensure we could match the needs of the shop, and are delighted that they chose CustomerGauge to provide real-time measurement of customer loyalty and voice of customer"
