Case summary:
JB Airways is the recipient of multiple awards in customer satisfaction and is listed on BB’s list of top 25 customer service organisations. JB believes its distinguishing feature is the customer feedback and satisfaction, which is the reason more travelers choose to use it. JB receives feedback via the following channels – direct feedback, customer surveys, ad hoc surveys, interviews, and online customer panels.
From its 15,000 members, it receives more than 40,000 survey responses every month. Although surveys provide structured information JB also receives over 500 emails each day, user comments on its website, social media, forums, blogs and other websites. This feedback is in an unstructured format and time-consuming and expensive to analyse individually.
To analyse this data, JB has implemented a “text analytics” software that extracts relevant data from all sources and provides the company with useful insights into customer satisfaction, loyalty and sentiment. The company also uses Voice of Customer (VoC) software to scan the web for conversations about its products, services and competitors.

A travel agency has recently lost several medium-sized and large corporate customers due to complaints about poor customer service.

The team gathered data by conducting interviews and surveys with current and past corporate customers and gathering customer feedback data that the travel agency has recorded over time.
