Charter's heritage is complaints management. With a successful product line evolving over 12 years, the current product set based on Charter Continuum™, represents best-of-breed in complaints and customer feedback management. The design behind Charter Continuum™ benefits from long association with trade organisations, industry 'gurus' and academics providing early, well informed exposure to best practice, emerging standards, regulatory requirements and new legislation.
Charter Continuum™ has become a platform suited to delivering compliance with BS8600 - the British Standard for design and implementation of Complaints Management Systems. BSi Management Systems have developed CMSAS:2000 - an assessment specification confirming compliance with the BS8600 guidelines. Compliance with the standard provides independent confirmation of an organisation's commitment to customer care - bringing credibility and consistency of approach across the enterprise.
Defined by the BSi as "...any expression of dissatisfaction by a customer, with a product or service, however small, whether considered justified or not..." - leaves plenty scope for most organisations to capture, manage and benefit from the feedback freely offered by complainants.
According to Professor John Murphy of the Manchester Business School; "...feedback from customers is akin to free market research - it should be freely solicited..."
Charter UK can advise on compliance with the CMS Assessment Standard - contact us for further information on processing complaints to the British Standard.
The Complaints Management System - Assessment Specification is a recognised BSi scheme leading to full BSi registration – a highly sought-after accolade for any customer-facing organisation.
