Wawanesa turned to HONK, not only because HONK has maintained a Net Promoter Score of near 90 with its customers, but also for its full data transparency into their roadside assistance program, according to a vendor statement. HONK provides what it calls an inside view into real-time performance analytics for all service requests, including customer ratings, comments, sentiment, volume trends and time to arrival.
“HONK’s digital platform allows us to provide a roadside assistance program with the exceptional customer experience we want to be known for,” comments Wayne Sharrah, Chief Claims Officer, Wawanesa Insurance. “With HONK, our customers can request fast, safe and dependable roadside assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we’ll have complete visibility into each service call and full control of the program.”
