Solution
  • A new modern logging and tracking system is scheduled to be installed over the next 3 months. The company now has in-depth knowledge and understanding of how to speed up its deliveries.

(Business/Product Owner)
  • Lack of sustainability and what to do with second-hand clothing is a key contributing factor to why we are not retaining customers. What can we do to solve this?

Once you identify what the needs of your customers are, you can share/collaborate on how to meet those needs.

Discovering the needs of your customers has other benefits too.

Identifying and fulfilling the needs of your existing customers have many positive outputs:

  • increases customer loyalty
  • increases customer satisfaction
  • increases customer retention

It also can identify gaps in the market that your product and services have the potential to fill, creating new opportunities for growth. And provide a competitive advantage over your nearest rivals.
