Here's a quick summary.

The Objective

Pine Labs is a leading merchant platform that offers payment and finance solutions to millions of small businesses and large enterprises throughout Asia.

The objective was to increase merchant advocacy while concurrently minimizing churn/lapsation rates. Given the diversity of the merchant base which consisted of merchants with one store, multi-store merchants, and multi-city big corporates, a one-size-fits-all approach was not enough.

The Solution

SurveySensum proposed an integrated solution covering the entire customer funnel. The proposed solution consisted of omnichannel feedback collection across touchpoints.

How did it help Pine Labs?

Pine Labs requires a comprehensive program that not only measures the NPS but helps them to act on data to grow better in the future.

SurveySensum helped them on three fronts:

Optimizing Current Processes: By harnessing omni-channel feedback collection Pine Labs gained a 360-degree view of customer satisfaction across various touchpoints in their journey. This invaluable data not only enabled them to identify and close the loop with dissatisfied merchants but also helped strengthen the processes for Pine Labs. Critical feedback across sales & onboarding and customer service was acted upon as improvement areas for the future.

Strengthening the Overall Relationships: Periodic relationship NPS surveys helped Pine Labs to measure the strength of the relationship at a holistic level and to track it over time. The relationship NPS survey helped to understand Pine Labs' advocacy and competitiveness on certain factors. Moreover, the improvements that stemmed from transactional satisfaction surveys didn't stop there. They were used to boost the overall health of Pine Labs' client relationships, showing how Pine Labs was committed to making things better for their clients.

Understanding and Winning Back Lapsers: SurveySensum solution not only focused on current customers of the client but also to deep dive among lapsers who churned out. A barrier study among lapsers unveiled critical insights into sales and product strategy shortcomings that had driven these merchants away. Data from this study was also analyzed in combination with merchant profile and internal operation data. And used to create new product offerings to bring lapsed merchants back.
