Shadow Shopper

Shadow Shopper measures your customer service and gives you the tools to analyse your results and assess the impact of changes you make to improve it.

A certified shadow shopper visits your business, makes a purchase and accurately and objectively evaluates how customers are treated when no-one is watching. This is how you can check that company standards for customer service are being met.

Shadow Surveys

Shadow regularly surveys consumers and Shadow customers have access to the results. We can also do surveys specifically for your business and to your requirements. Feedback over the web or on paper can give you additional information about your customers.

Shadow can organize this and present your results as part of your business information on your website, and you can use the same graphing and analysis tools to see it as part of your total business information.

Information Your Way

We don't just give you the results - your information is always accessible and you have the tools to analyse it any way you wish.

All information and results, from all of the Shadow Suite, are in one place and can be combined and analysed. You can even add in other information to the analysis. For example, if you have information on store turnover why not see how it correlates to customer service scores? Or if profitability relates to compliance with company procedures?

Oh, and the IT buzz words - Shadow systems are fully customisable and scaleable. You can configure them to show your locations, your company structure, your personnel.
