Intuitive website design, optimal technical functionality, appealing design and powerful customer service are equally important aspects. Apps and websites should work flawlessly.

Powerful interface management via APIs (application programming interface) enables cross-platform functionalities and communication options. In perspective, online and offline worlds are to be built up perfectly on one another through coordinated processes. This allows companies and brands to reach new dimensions of customer experience.

Tip from Faktor K:

To understand the factors influencing the customer experience, they must be made measurable. The Net Promoter Score (NPS), for example, indicates whether customers would recommend the company to others. Feedback forms and reviews also provide information about customer satisfaction.

Involve your customers and employees in the process. Customer opinions are valuable and help to discard the internal view. The more employees are involved, the greater the willingness to change.
