We wanted to share our current thinking on how you can build “robotic” systems to enhance the e-commerce customer experience. The key elements:
* automated customer surveys to understand voice-of-customer and Net Promoter® Score in real-time
* automated customer segmentation by lifetime value
* automated customer segmentation by loyalty (using Net Promoter Score)
* process to help customers needing immediate response
* clustering customer issues together for longer-term strategic fix
* close-loop monitoring of results (Net Promoter Score and other metrics)
* Responding to customers with updates on your actions
You could roll-your-own solution, but we believe CustomerGauge has all the parts you need to start this now – and we have proof points from our major e-commerce clients including Canon, Philips and Vodafone.

2013 Future state E-commerce Trends WebinarMichael Healey
This deck is from an InformationWeek 2013 Internet Trends webinar. Summary: There's no such thing as a standalone ecommerce site – today, this function cannot be a bolt-on. Companies must go broad and think holistically, looping in ERP, suppliers, security, marketing automation packages and more. There are multiple ecommerce instances geared for specific partners. But it's a big, ongoing development challenge, and customers demand a seamless experience, whether interacting on PCs, tablets or smartphones. Yet, there are no standards to lean on.
In this webcast we'll discuss state-of-the-art back-end infrastructure and automation, ways to overcome gaps in transaction processes, and services-based options.
You'll learn:
Technical hurdles and design considerations
Major challenges and opportunities to improve
Examples of companies using best practices to get this right
