See the full Case Study
 
Voice of the Customer started a continuing cultural movement at RS Components, a global market leader in electronic distribution. The new CEO has positioned ownership of the customer at the heart of the business, a critical move to embed an outside-in view of what customers need and want, and RS is now growing four times faster. Customer Services & the Customer Experience team work closely together; they challenge thinking & empower people. In the UK, Project Triumph has changed the customer services operating model, driving a positive culture and already delivering £2M in incremental revenue. Planning has been fundamental,
giving flexibility for individuals. £150,000 efficiencies each quarter have been re-invested. E-commerce is growing twice as fast as the core business, addressing specific customer feedback.

Key Results

  • Double digit revenue growth & market share gains
  • NPS up 36% globally and Net Easy 37% 
  • 60% of the global business is online
  • UK online growing twice as fast as core business
  • £25m saved from cost budget, by focussing on customer needs
