THE CHALLENGE

Gaining Insight Into the Entire Customer Journey

In 2021, Nordstern recognized the need to improve its customer satisfaction efforts by systematically collecting customer feedback.

In 2024, the company added a new dimension to its feedback collection efforts with its first-ever supplier survey. After several years of customer growth, Nordstern sought a deeper understanding of how it was perceived by its customers and suppliers.

The company's goal was not only to ensure continued high customer satisfaction, but also to strengthen long-term relationships with both customers and suppliers so that they would continue to choose Nordstern as their preferred partner.

To achieve this, Nordstern decided to expand its collaboration with Ennova, which had been conducting Nordstern's employee engagement survey since 2018:

"For us, working with Ennova is characterized by their high level of expertise, flexibility, seamless processes, and deep understanding of our business and industry. That's why we also wanted Ennova to be our CX provider."

THE SOLUTION

Systematic Measurement and Clear Reporting

In 2022, Nordstern conducted its first customer survey. The results quickly provided data-driven insights into what their customers thought about them, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement.

One feature that particularly impressed Nordstern was the simple and flexible survey setup, which included industry-specific benchmarks and user-friendly reporting. This made it easier for Nordstern to translate the data into actionable steps across the organization:

"We always receive a very professional report on the survey results, including insights and benchmarks. This enables us to use the report at the executive level, where we spend time discussing the results in relation to our future strategy.”

Nordstern

Another important aspect of the solution was the close cooperation between Nordstern and Ennova in selecting the survey questions. This ensured that the survey was aligned with Nordstern's current business needs and provided the insights the company needed.

New Supplier Survey Provides Holistic Insights

In 2024, Nordstern conducted its first supplier survey to ensure that all factors affecting the customer experience were measured. The survey is conducted annually, alternating with the customer survey, and provides valuable insight into how suppliers perceive their collaboration with Nordstern.

With feedback from both customers and suppliers, Nordstern now has a comprehensive understanding of its value chain. The supplier survey didn't just provide a supplier NPS (Net Promoter Score), it also identified the top three reasons why suppliers found it easy to work with Nordstern:

  1. Respectful treatment of suppliers by employees
  2. Trustworthiness of Nordstern's collaboration practices
  3. Quality of communication from Nordstern

These insights give Nordstern a clear understanding of where they excel and where there is room for improvement. The survey design fits perfectly with Nordstern's holistic approach to understanding their value chain

THE RESULT

Improved Understanding of the Customer Journey and Increased Satisfaction

Through annual customer and supplier satisfaction surveys, Nordstern has made significant progress in customer satisfaction. This includes a significant improvement in their NPS (Net Promoter Score) during the period 2022-2023.

Through dedicated efforts and a systematic follow-up process, Nordstern has successfully translated customer feedback into targeted actions, resulting in positive outcomes for both customers and suppliers:

"We are very proud that our customers and suppliers are satisfied with us and that we are able to improve our NPS year after year. High customer satisfaction is essential for us to remain the growth-oriented company we want to be.”

- Hans Jørn Abrahamsen, Sales Director, Nordstern

In addition to using NPS as a key metric for both customer and supplier satisfaction, Nordstern places great emphasis on an active follow-up process. Once the results are collected, the real work begins - translating the feedback into concrete actions that customers and suppliers can experience in practice:

"For us, it's about taking our data to the finish line. We're in close dialog with our customers to understand their feedback, and we have to have the courage to address the challenges that the data reveals. The follow-up work is an important part of listening to our customers and suppliers.”

- Hans Jørn Abrahamsen, Sales Director, Nordstern
