Customer service quality

Customer service quality

CERM PI’s Customer Service Quality survey measures customers’ expectations alongside their perceptions of a facility or service’s actual performance across a comprehensive range of dimensions, including staff responsiveness, facility cleanliness, and value for money. By capturing both expectations and experiences, the methodology provides a far more robust and diagnostic assessment of service quality than single-item measures such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), enabling clients to understand not just overall sentiment, but the specific drivers underpinning performance.

In addition to these core measures, the survey captures overall satisfaction, loyalty, and perceived customer benefits, providing a well-rounded view of the customer experience. A largely standardised survey framework is applied across different facility types, allowing for the development of meaningful benchmarking comparisons. At the same time, we retain the flexibility to tailor surveys to meet the specific needs of our client partners.

Findings are presented in a detailed report, delivering clear, evidence-based insights that support informed decision-making and targeted performance improvement.

How it works

Survey shared with customers

Customers complete an online questionnaire answering a set of pre-programmed questions relating to service quality at your facility. This questionnaire can be accessed via a smartphone or a computer, or you can even use an existing tablet or set one up at your facility. Paper-based surveys can be organised where necessary.

Reporting, benchmarking and interactive insights

At survey completion, we analyse the data and compile a detailed report outlining your customers’ perceptions of service quality at your facility which includes an indication of how your facility is performing against others in similar operating environments. You can also view this report through your optional user log-in or we can organise for a copy of the report to be sent to you.

In addition, an interactive dashboard is provided to help manipulate and explore the data by different user groups and demographics, allowing you to better understand how various segments of your community experience the service. This supports more targeted service improvements, communication and marketing opportunities, and helps identify strengths, emerging issues and areas for further investigation.
