CUSTOMER STORY
Box empowers every employee to focus on customer success
Learn how Box fuels its team with customer data and creates a 360° view of the customer journey.
OVERVIEW
Box knows that customer feedback data is no good to anyone if it’s not available to everyone. The cloud management struggled with ununified feedback operations—until it discovered that SurveyMonkey was the right solution to enhance its customer experience. With SurveyMonkey, Box broke down data silos, clarified the voice of the customer, and uncovered critical insights about its customer journey.
THE CHALLENGE
Prioritize (and organize) customer data
When Box shifted its focus toward obsessive customer centricity, it quickly realized it needed a better data strategy if it was going to truly deliver a best-in-class customer experience.
“Nobody knew where to go to get customer feedback,” said Chase Zenger, chief of staff, customer success. “Not everybody had access. There was no consistency or scale. None of the experience and feedback data was being aggregated in any way.”
Box teams were using different platforms for different kinds of surveys: customer onboarding, customer relationship, customer satisfaction, and more. Data was coming in, but it was getting siloed within those teams and not living up to its potential. But when the company turned to SurveyMonkey to help bring a single data flow to the whole team, everything came together.
“We use SurveyMonkey Enterprise to gather feedback from our customers at key moments across their entire customer journey with Box. At all these different touchpoints, what are they thinking? What are they feeling? How are we delivering? What can be improved?”

THE ANSWER
An integrated customer data flow that empowers everyone
To truly deliver on its mission of customer centricity, Box needed to unify its customer feedback operations and get a clearer understanding of the voice of the customer.
“We needed a single tool that would enable us to understand sentiment across a number of different interactions we have with customers,” explained Jon Herstein, chief customer officer.
As Herstein and his team evaluated solutions, SurveyMonkey Enterprise immediately stood out. Not only was it easy to use, leading to reports that Box teams were “delighted with the experience,” but it also made data silos a thing of the past.
“We can marry all the survey data that we get from SurveyMonkey and all the operational data that we have from our own systems, and actually have a view of what the customer's doing,” said Herstein. “That's something you couldn't do with on-premise software.”
“SurveyMonkey Enterprise has enabled us to really, truly deliver a mind-blowing customer experience.”

THE RESULTS
A 360° view of the customer journey
Upgrading from the self-serve SurveyMonkey platform gave Box enterprise-class capabilities, with more visibility and control. With SurveyMonkey’s direct API access and integrations with applications like Salesforce and Zendesk, Box connected customer feedback to its existing data warehouse, analytics tools, and overall business operations.
Box’s customer success team, sales team, and executives now “have a view of what the customer is doing, how things are going, and how they sit relative to their peers,” Herstein said. “That’s incredibly powerful.”
