Raízen breaks customer engagement records with Oracle Responsys
Using Oracle Responsys Campaign Management, Raízen’s Shell Box app achieves a record number of transactions in a single day.
“It is delightful to see how a well-designed strategy associated with flawless execution can enrich the user experience, not to mention how technology can impact the daily lives of customers by bringing real benefits and advantages. And considering the longstanding relationship and successful partnerships in other cases, we realized that Oracle Responsys would be the right solution.”
Business challenges
Founded in 2010 and licensed by Shell, Raízen is an integrated energy company and the fourth largest company in Brazil. Developed by Raízen, Shell Box is an app that enables customers to safely and conveniently pay for fueling at Shell stations and purchases at Shell Select convenience stores. It also provides access to an entire selection of benefits associated to Shell.
A key challenge for Raízen was to increase the number of transactions, fuel payments, and purchases at Shell Select convenience stores, as well as acquire new customers. The company envisaged ways to attract new customers, maintain active customers, and re-engage inactive customers thoughtfully and without diverting from major goals.
Oracle Responsys Campaign Management enabled the use of forms to improve customer profiling in communications campaigns.
