Yes, you can! A company s customers are the reason for its existence! This is the reason why many organizations have invested significant time and effort in designing customer journeys and optimizing the customer experience. A positive customer experience is essential, as it indicates how well a company meets the expectations of its customers. Realizing the optimal customer experience however, requires a significant investment. Companies often lose sight of the relation between customer experience and the cost associated with realizing this. The best way to increase customer satisfaction and decrease operational costs simultaneously is to follow our Customer Journey Mining 1-2-3! approach.

3 Customer Journey Mining Customer Journey Mining is about creating insight into how customer journeys have actually run, compared to how they were designed. Moreover, Customer Journey Mining makes the connection between customer journeys and the supporting business processes of a company. It does this, by applying big data analytics to business processes. By applying analytics, Customer Journey Mining allows to analyze how companies interact with customers based on hard facts and to identify where the support of the customer journey shows room for improvement. Doing so, we combine the realization of an optimal customer experience across all relevant channels with the continuous improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes.
