Customers are hard-pressed to leave feedback in any form, and the way digital customer feedback is gathered is often clunky, time-consuming, and distracting from the goal the customer came to accomplish in the first place.

Collecting and making sense of mobile customer feedback isn’t a walk in the park for product managers and marketers. There’s a big analytics challenge in pulling in the right sources of information and prepare the right views for leaders and product owners to consume. It can take months to set up a first version and years to get it right as sorting through feedback from different customer segments is difficult, especially as the size of your customer base grows.

Just imagine how you’d feel if you walked into a shop, collected everything in your basket, but couldn’t find the cashier. In the end, you’d likely get extremely upset and leave everything behind without spending a cent. Well, exactly that happens with bad form design in your checkout process.
