RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qlik®, a leader in visual analytics, today announced data strategy and creative company ITG Creator is using the Qlik visual analytics platform to give its clients, including Virgin Trains, detailed and accurate insights into customer sentiment.
Working with Qlik, ITG Creator developed Awesometer, an award-winning, dashboard-driven mobile and desktop reporting app that provides Virgin Trains with real-time visualizations of feedback from online customer surveys.
This information has been used to significantly improve satisfaction with boarding, seating, and on-board entertainment. ITG Creator works with clients to analyze their customer data and develop strategies and executions that greatly increase customer lifetime value.
Kinnari Ladha, Marketing Insights Director at ITG Creator said: “We reviewed a variety of business intelligence systems and through Qlik Elite Solution Provider Differentia Consulting selected Qlik’s visual analytics platform as the stand-out technology for creating apps for Virgin Trains and other clients. Qlik’s technology has helped us transform data into actionable insights that give our clients an important business advantage. Awesometer is a result of an extremely fruitful collaboration between ITG, Qlik, and Virgin Trains.”
The train operating company collects feedback from its customers from surveys sent by email to those who booked through Virgin’s website or via a URL it publicizes on its trains.
Chris McDermott, Virgin Trains advocacy manager added: “We’re all about putting our customers at the heart of what we do here at Virgin Trains. That means making changes to our business based on what our customers tell us is important to them. To do that, we like to use the best tools in the industry to better understand what our customers are asking for.”
Virgin Trains has analyzed over 200,000 customer survey responses, with 300,000 comments captured, analyzed and visualized by the app, which is available to 700 Virgin Trains staff. These staff can identify any issues and take steps to increase satisfaction. The app includes trend analysis, customer loyalty, and customer sentiment by station, train or route, with users able to assess customer satisfaction by hour, day, week or month, to keep track of improvements over time.
“ITG Creator is a great example of an organization where Qlik is leaving no data behind. We don’t make anyone pre-determine the type of analysis they may want to do, and then join the data to support that pre-conceived approach,” said Paul Winsor, Qlik’s director of market development for retail and service industries. “We believe in equal opportunity for all data, we take it all in any form, and users are free to explore and use it in any way they’d like. It’s the value customers like ITG Creator find after they start with Qlik that other tools are not capable of so they can’t expose the full, true story.”
