The CACI team understood exactly what we needed, making the process painless


The Challenge
United Utilities needed to fundamentally increase their understanding of their customers to:
- Improve communication
- Meet customer requirements
- Focus resources
- Guide customer behaviour
The Solution
- By involving key stakeholders from the outset the wide-range of requirements was agreed.
- 8 segments were identified by enhancing UU’s transactional & research data with CACI’s demographic, lifestyle & attitudinal sources to understand their water & wider behaviours.
- Segments were named, understood & embedded into the business via workshops.
- Every customer is coded with their segment.
- Bespoke pen-portraits & clear knowledge sheets link stakeholders to their customers
The Results
The segmentation is actively used every day within United Utilities to:
- Target communications to the correct customers with the right message & media
- Assist in addressing customers with debt
- Test new propositions to improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs
- Quantify the size of the market
Success has enabled UU to meet the challenges and embed segmentation as part of business as usual, and this approach has been recognised as a positive attribute by Ofwat in its assessment of our customer research and insight.
