Mystery Shopping

A tool used to measure the quality of service, compliance to regulation, or to gather specific information about products and services. We offer our clients a Snapshot-in-Time of how each location is operating. This tool is appealing to companies because it provides them with an objective appraisal of their locations at any given time. We can tell them how operations are running from the perspective of their customers. This is important because clients would never get the same perspective if they visited the franchise as everyone would be on their best behaviour. By appearing to be regular customers, mystery shoppers give clients the insights that they wouldn't be able to obtain otherwise. We have conducted the Mystery Shopping exercise for various clients:

Ice Cream Chain Store
Monthly mystery checks of 7 outlets in 2 cities in the country.

Restaurant
Monthly mystery checks of 1 outlet in Kuala Lumpur.

Retail Chain Store
Monthly mystery checks of 49 outlets in Malaysia including Sabah & Sarawak.
