Read this article about Shell China Limited, Finalist in the Best Achievement in Operational Excellence to deliver an outstanding Customer Experience Excellence, selected by the independent judging panel, for the 2021 Digital Transformation & Operational Excellence Industry Awards program.

Delivering best in market customer experience and business value with CARE
 

Shell is the leading player in the bitumen industry and one of the largest global bitumen suppliers. While sudden breakout of COVID-19, crude oil fluctuation, imported/domestic market price crushing and the changing market environment, these all push businesses to adjust strategy to put customer centricity as top priority to drive operational excellence and enhance partnership with strategic customers. China customer service team, as the ground zero of interactions with customers, are identified as key integrators across multiple internal partners to improve customer experience and support this enhanced strategy.

Thus, we design CARE model as a way to deliver best in market customer experience and maximize business value under new market condition:

  • Care for customer and look ahead to long-term network
  • Adjust and adapt to new emergences and flexible to changes
  • Reliable partner to support business growth
  • Enable strong relationship with internal and external customers 

We learnt customer feedbacks that they require care for their needs, quick response and be flexible to changing market. Thus we focus on 3 key themes based on CARE model during this project:

  1. Care for customer and build strong network
  2. Offer personalized solutions through dedicated customer support
  3. Make customer easy to do business with Shell through process optimization and automation

With the implementation of the project, we proactively reached out to share information and maintain connection with customers, we restructured our team to provide dedicated customer service with efficient problem resolution channel and personalized solutions, and we leveraged on creative digital tools to improve our process efficiencies and customer experience.

All these efforts pushed customer satisfaction to historically high with customer survey score of 9.9 out of 10 with 60% response rate YTD Sep 2021. Customers appreciated no automated response system but dedicated members and teams to understand their needs and fast response to offer personalized solutions.

The project also enabled exponential business growth from 2020 to date. Despite the negative impact of COVID and crude oil fluctuation, business has delivered historically fantastic financial performance. Moreover, with long-term strategic partnership built with customer, quite a few MOUs (memorandum of understanding) are signed with key customers with expectation to explore deeper cooperation in other areas, which also serve as pipeline to contribute for future business growth.
