The global retail sector is going through a phase of unprecedented transformations.

Business Challenge

The client is a global retail firm based out of Central Europe.

The client, therefore, wanted to increase customer retention and drive sales. However, the company lacked a clear view of the reasons behind rising customer churn.

As such, they approached the experts at Infiniti Research to leverage their expertise in offering customer intelligence solution. By collaborating with Infiniti Research, the client also wanted to reduce customer churn, identify reasons for customers switching to other brands, and evaluate their satisfaction level.
