HappyOrNot announced its latest airport partnership with Narita International Airport Corporation (NAA).
Using HappyOrNot’s Smiley Terminal push-button type terminals, Narita International Airport (NRT) will collect substantial amounts of customer feedback, enabling them to monitor their passenger’s security experience at 23 checkpoints across the airport. With this in-moment, actionable customer experience feedback data, NRT’s management and staff will be able to identify, and immediately rectify, issues that are affecting passenger satisfaction, and make improvements based on data, rather than unscientific hunches.
Suzuki Yoshie, general manager of CS Development & Planning Department, Sales & Marketing Division at Narita International Airport Corporation commented, "After a year-long test period, we have chosen HappyOrNot as a partner for the next step of our customer feedback collection system. We installed Smiley Terminals at the security checkpoints in all three terminals - T1, 2, and 3. While ensuring stringent security and safety measures, we are committed to providing high-quality service to passengers.”
Suzuki continued, “The attitude of security staff and clarity of the screening process, are influential factors in passenger satisfaction. We believe the service level at security checkpoints directly contributes to the overall travel experience. Thus, we decided to introduce a tool to measure and assess the service level quantitatively. HappyOrNot offers extensive reporting functionality with an easy-to-use admin user interface. The Smiley Terminal satisfies our safety requirements, and installation of a Local Area Network is not necessary.
Furthermore, the standard faceplate with anti-microbial buttons, and Smiley Link, a QR code-based self-scan feedback interface, relieve the respondent's covid-19 concern. We use the index derived from HappyOrNot as one of our KPIs of security service quality. Narita International Airport will continue to pursue customer satisfaction by offering the world's highest standards of service quality. We expect the feedback data and the insights provided will help us achieve our commitment."
Fukumoto Takashi, general manager of energy sales office at Hitachi Systems Power Services, and official HappyOrNot partner, said, “Our mission is to deliver the right product to the right customer. Smiley Terminal fits the transition of the aviation and airport industry into the post-covid-19 world. It is a powerful tool to capture passenger emotion at the airport, helping hospitality professionals balance touchless travel experience and human-touch hospitality. The four smileys make passengers feel heard and valued. We are very excited to help our customers prepare for the next normal.”
