Hilti Group is famous for its premium solutions for construction professionals. With 10 plants and 33,000 staff members in more than 120 countries, it provides demolition and installation materials, services, and software for large-scale renovation and industrial projects, producing an average of 60 new products annually.
The company’s direct sales approach, which includes field engineers, customer service, and e-business, means that two-thirds of staff are in sales-related roles. And with 80 sales organizations, Hilti wanted to improve the efficiency of its sales processes through standardization.
Given the 280,000 daily customer contacts, the company also sought consistency across the customer experience globally and better transparency within its operations by linking its customer experience score to operational data and performance drivers.
