JESSICA LANGENBERG, Customer Engagement Manager Intergamma

“With the new dashboards and tables, we are not only able to share customer insights with different departments and stakeholders in an understandable way, we also have the ability to use this as a foundation to create new insights and analysis ourselves. The collaboration gave us a lot of new knowledge and understanding of our own database and a new way of working, with the experience of Crystalloids as a guide to help us scope our demands.”

The Process

Preparation phase:
  • Meet to discuss goals and present alternative solutions
  • Write backlog items with business owners
  • Refine backlog to get all necessary details
  • Prioritise backlog by business importance
  • Estimation of work for the selected user stories

Implementation phase:

  • Define card holder definition and scope of transactions for RFM model
  • Describe behaviour and loyalty of Intergamma card holders based on the RFM model
  • Refine RFM segments and align with the business
  • Develop strategic loyalty groups based on RFM segments
  • Combine and load data to a new contact actual table
  • Calculate RFM scores and appoint loyalty segments to card holders frequently
  • Create customer view combining loyalty scores, additional customer profiles, demographics in one table

The Solution

  • In Google Cloud Platform, scheduled queries load the most actual view of every customer in Big Query tables.
  • Card holders are determined from customer and transaction data and loaded into a new contact table.
  • In a second step RFM scores and loyalty segments are calculated and loaded into a table with the customer view.
  • Google Data Studio reports are used to give insights in customer loyalty status, card holder profiles and loyalty trends.
  • For marketing activation card holders can be exported right from Google Data Studio reports.
