TruRating is now available on Poynt

Last updated on: March 16, 2018

Capturing honest customer feedback is extremely difficult for local businesses. Platforms like Yelp aren't really helping local merchants improve their business. All these platforms do is give angry people an outlet to feel like they're a critic. They're structured to hide good reviews unless the business pays for their services. Enter TruRating. The TruRating app on the Poynt Smart Terminal helps merchants collect customer feedback at the point of payment and turn insights into revenue. Its simple-to-use platform allows the customer to rate his/her experience 0-9. It also allows the business to ask a few key follow-up questions to help drive success.

How does this work for the merchant?

After speaking with the TruRating team, they told me a pretty neat success story. There was a merchant who owned a few pizza shops and he noticed that mid-week during 2pm-3pm his feedback/rating was poor. He started to research with his team and figured out that one of the chefs was turning down the oven at that time of day to save energy, which harmed the quality of the food. The owner was able to make a quick change due to TruRating's data and create a better experience for customers. While it's not going to fix every problem, it can simply help business owners pick up on trends and start to identify faults in their operations. Today, TruRating is helping merchants get feedback from over 80% of customers that interact with the application each day. That creates a great opportunity for the business owner to make tweaks and find out ways to increase customer satisfaction and increase revenue.
