Game-Changing Solutions for the Telecom Industry
The Telecom industry has become one of the pillars of the 21st century and was one of the first industries to inculcate the habit of data visualization. Advanced data visualization accompanied by business intelligence solutions ensures data safety and real-time data access for a telecom company. A US-based telecom company collaborated with Quantzig to leverage its expertise in interactive data visualization to improve its user experience.
Let’s understand the role of telecom hyper-personalization solutions first. In the current telecom landscape, organizations are often compelled to compete on price or perceived quality to sustain amid competition and retain market share. Since telecom users value the experience above the product offerings, generating a lower price point might not be an alternative in most cases. Therefore, customer retention is determined by user experience with the network provider. Telcos must cover the extra mile at every customer touchpoint and provide personalized offerings. This has led to more organizations improving their customer outreach by making it completely omnichannel, data-based, and hyper-personalized.
A European telecom giant which offers a full range of telecom services wanted to boost ROI and drive sales across regions by improving its visibility among loyal customers. To do so, the telecom giant decided to target the most profitable customer segments through promotional campaigns. Having failed to achieve the desired results through promotional campaigns, they approached Quantzig to leverage its expertise in customer segmentation analytics to better understand and prioritize customers based on their value.

In this competitive market space, leading organizations in the telecom industry are facing extreme pressures to increase ROI for every marketing dollar spent. Moreover, organizations are effectively planning to reduce their marketing budget to target the right audience and devise effective marketing campaigns. To maximize the revenues and understand the customer buying behavior, businesses are advocating the need for customer analytics solution. Implementing customer analytics helps companies in the telecom industry effectively predict the buying needs of the customers to enhance customer experience, drive innovation, and optimize operational efficiencies, thereby driving bottom-line results.
Telecom Customer Analysis Challenges Faced by the Client
A leading telecom company in Europe wanted to implement a proactive customer retention analysis and predictive churn modeling program that could help them improve customer retention and reduce customer churn rate.
The client had huge amounts of customer data and wanted a solution that could help them analyze it to identify customers with the highest chances of churn, and thereby enable the sales and customer relationship teams to take corrective action before the actual trigger happens.
With rapid advancements in technology changing the telecom landscape, players in this sector are poised to witness increasingly tough times. In fact, the telecom industry is set to face major digital disruptions over the next few years, making it crucial for businesses to reimagine their business models, rebuild a market position, and offer innovative solutions to its customers. Though several opportunities can be unearthed using customer segmentation analytics businesses are not well equipped to identify and capitalize on such opportunities.
The rapidly growing customer base and the huge volumes of transaction data entering the system precluded any analysis that adopted traditional methods. To alleviate the problem, the client invested a significant sum in proprietary analysis software when they realized they lacked the right strategies and tools to assess the huge troves of customer data at their disposal. However, despite the investment, they were unable to derive accurate insights that were essential for monitoring and decision making.
The client had a vast network of data pipelines for gathering data from various sources into a data pool, which analysts used to generate insights on customer behavior. But with the addition of each new data source, the client’s model became increasingly complex and unstable, compromising the quality of the data insights and the decisions thus derived.
Another challenge the client faced was providing suitable offers according to the user segments. The client wanted to leverage our machine learning model that can match customized offers to the customer group with maximum accuracy. The client approached Quantzig to develop and optimize its services and thus maximize customer engagement and increase profits.
Subsequently, the client approached Quantzig with specific issues related to their customers, which was to be unraveled based on their customer data. The key issues included:
- What metrics need to be tracked and monitored to measure customer engagement rates?
- Which of my customers are likely to churn?
- What are the specific indicators for customer churn?
- Which customer segment should my sales team target to build a healthy customer base?
- How to provide better value to my customers to boost engagement rates?
