Enfo's ambition to create and maintain an end-user-centric culture became more of a reality when implementing HappySignals in 2018.
HappySignals Experience Management Platform enables Enfo to shift to a higher gear of instant end-user feedback and rich experience data. The influx of data became an important source of understanding for management overviews and all levels of employees and teams delivering IT services.
Enfo is a Nordic IT service company enabling their customers' data-driven business transformation. Therefore, receiving experience data, identifying improvement areas and maintaining customer satisfaction is key to Enfo's reputation amongst their customers.
One standout process for Enfo from the ITXM framework was sharing the experience data transparently with their customers, showing that their voice is being heard, increasing overall customer happiness and experience.
Furthermore, the influx of experience data increased agent motivation, with an 88% positive feedback rating as a critical factor in agent job satisfaction.

How HappySignals is used at Enfo
1. A new level to gathering end-user feedback
Gathering end-user feedback and measuring satisfaction is a high priority for Enfo. After recognizing their current ITSM tool was insufficient to gather or measure feedback/satisfaction efficiently, the HappySignals platform was quickly implemented.
2. Out-of-the-box feedback tool to replace hand-built surveys
Implementing the HappySignals feedback tool was incredibly easy for Enfo due to the out-of-the-box utility. Shortly after implementation, Enfo were able to start collecting feedback instantly.
3. Special Forum to track customer satisfaction
A special forum has been created headed by Enfo's Sales Director to discuss overall customer satisfaction. Enfo keeps customer satisfaction at the core of its business operations, even implementing it as an overall business goal.
4. Integrating experience to agreements (XLAs)
Customer experience is one of the primary measurements Enfo has in its agreements.
5. Negative feedback directly dealt with by Service Desk Agents
Enfo deals with all written negative feedback directly, with the Service Desk Agent obliged to take action to implement the need for change in the process. This enables Enfo to make minor improvements daily.
