CMA CGM makes customer satisfaction a key issue
A year ago Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, defined ‘Customer Centricity’ as one of the group’s priorities. Since then, the container carrier has reevaluated its customer relationships, to have a clear understanding of their expectations, in order to deliver a high quality service. On the occasion of the 18th TPM Annual Conference, currently taking place in Long Beach, California, the maritime transport provider unveiled its new customer centricity strategy.
The strategy will place more timely and relevant information in customers’ hands and make better use of the information CMA CGM has to anticipate customers’ needs. Investments in analytics and business intelligence are focused on creating multichannel customer service capabilities. The global transformation of customers’ interaction with CMA CGM is expected to result in faster, more effective communication.
Within the coming months, innovative products will be offered to the group’s customers. Among these new offerings:
– a new finance solution to help customers expand their business abroad,
– a variety of digital solutions, allowing fully digital interactions between CMA CGM and customers with advanced online customer service.
