The Challenge
Global Paymentsがパンデミックの初期にお客様のニーズに応えるために新機能をリリースした際、ユーザーがその機能をどのように利用しているかを把握し、意図した価値を提供し、適切な課題を解決していることを確認する必要がありました。
Pendoの使い方（Pendo'ing it）
The product team utilized Paths in Pendo and saw that after using the Payment Request feature, 50% of users were then searching for the transaction to ensure it went through. This highlighted what was missing from the new feature: the ability to send a notification when a payment is completed.
結果
ユーザー行動に関するこのインサイトにより、Global Paymentsは継続的な改善に必要な情報を取得できました。現在、チームはペイメントリクエストの直後に、そのリクエストが支払われたかどうかを確認できる機能の追加に取り組んでいます。
We equate Pendo’ing with driving business decisions. We no longer have to rely on gut instinct, and we can use Pendo data to answer a lot of key questions about our users.
Chad Parker, Manager of Product Ownership, Global Payments
From gut feel to data-driven
Although some product managers might think they know what customers need from their product, relying on gut instinct can only get you so far. With Pendo, product usage data reveals exactly how users are navigating your product so you can work to make that experience even better.
In the past, product decisions at Global Payments were often based on gut feel or conversations with a few customers. Now, Pendo helps make data easily available for teams across the organization. “With Pendo, I’m able to answer a lot of questions about our users, and even segment by customer type or user role to see how product usage differs for each group,” said Chad Parker, manager of product ownership at Global Payments.
このデータへのアクセスは、パンデミックの初期に特に価値があることが証明されました。Global Paymentsは、お客様（事業主）が対面での業務ができなくなった際に、支払いを簡単に回収する方法がないと聞き、新しい機能を開発しました。この新機能「ペイメントリクエスト」では、加盟店はテキストメッセージやメールを通じてお客様にリクエストを送信し、お客様は誰ともやりとりすることなく、また他のデバイスに触れることなく支払いを完了することができます。
A few months after launch, the product team turned to Pendo to see how the Payment Request feature was being used.
成功への（ユーザー）パス
Parker utilized Paths to look at what users were doing before and after accessing the Payment Request functionality. The data showed that after sending a payment request, 50% of users were immediately searching for their transaction (often multiple times) to see if it went through. The rest of the users either didn’t take another action, or proceeded to send another payment request.
この比較的単純なデータポイントが、プロダクトチームに大きなインサイトをもたらしました。支払リクエストを送信する機能は開発していましたが、支払完了時にお客様に通知する手段を提供していなかったのです。「このワークフローをもっと簡単にする方法が本当に必要だということが分かりました」とParker氏は指摘します。
Being able to see how users interacted with their new feature allowed Global Payments to continue iterating and improving the customer experience—and do so quickly. Now, the product team is building the ability to receive a notification or show recent transactions right after making a payment request, so customers will be able to easily see whether their requests have been paid.
Product data is also particularly valuable as Global Payments works to consolidate two products after undergoing a merger in 2020. Since a lot of discussions center around whether they should move a feature over from product A to product B, they can go into Pendo and see what’s being used (and what’s not being used) to determine what should exist in the combined platform.
In one case, the support team came to product with a request to include a certain feature in the new portal, but when they looked at the data, only 200 customers out of 25,000 were actually using the feature. Parker explained, “Pendo definitely arms us with the information we need to have more productive conversations with support.”
プロのヒント
- Establish a naming convention for your features in Pendo so other people at your organization can understand and tag things effectively, too
- After you launch a new feature, use Paths to see what users are doing before and after they access the feature and determine if any additional functionality is needed
- Bring product data into conversations with your support team to ensure decisions are based on what users are doing in the product
