SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Medallia, Inc. (www.medallia.com) today announced that Air Liquide, a French multinational firm, has selected Medallia to support its customer-centric transformation strategy. Air Liquide, with a presence in more than 80 countries, provides industrial gases and other services to more than 3 million customers worldwide. Air Liquide has already successfully completed a pilot project across three countries in Europe—Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg—and will roll out to an additional 20 countries in the coming months for the next phase of the implementation.

Medallia Experience Cloud empowers Air Liquide to understand customer feedback in real-time by providing deep data analytics that show a 360-degree view of the customer. Employees from the front line to the executive suite rely on both the desktop and mobile versions of Medallia Experience Cloud to listen to the voice of the customer.

"As a truly international company, with operations in more than 80 countries, we recognize that the customer experience within the B2C world has begun to drive that experience within the industrial B2B world too," said Rich Jahr, Chief Customer Officer, Air Liquide. "We are now able to absorb customer feedback quickly, enabling us to shift, alter and adapt our approaches. The Medallia Experience Cloud platform is one of our key tools in our Customer Centric Transformation strategy."

Air Liquide underwent a rigorous selection process to choose a partner for this initiative, ultimately selecting Medallia because of its strong international footprint, robust mobile app, and cost-competitive technical platform. Many industrial B2B customers have worked with Air Liquide for more than 30 years, so it's important to measure customer sentiment at key moments in the customer journey with post-transaction and relationship-based surveys.

"We are honored to partner with Air Liquide to bring the voice of the customer into every operation within the organization," said Borge Hald, CEO and Co-Founder, Medallia. "Air Liquide continues to succeed by focusing on customer-centric innovation to create long-term value for customers."

Top executives at Air Liquide are frequent users of Medallia Voices™, which provides a quick pulse of information on customer feedback, on everything from accurate invoices to timely deliveries. This app provides data in real-time with headlines that empower executives to improve their focus on the customer experience at all levels of the organization. By listening to the voice of the customer, Air Liquide aims to empower all 67,000 employees to understand and act on customer feedback. Following the next phase of implementation to an additional 20 countries in 2018, Air Liquide will be well on its way to incorporating Medallia Experience Cloud throughout its entire organization.
