Marktschwund durch schlecht dokumentierte Benachrichtigungsprozesse
Definition
Customer uncertainty at pickup stage (unclear when repair finished, unclear final cost, unclear quality) drives abandonment. Customers don't pick up shoes/bags on scheduled date due to poor communication. Shops face inventory carrying costs, payment delays, and customer dissatisfaction reviews. Market contraction (-1.1% CAGR) is partly attributable to poor digital customer experience vs. replacement buying.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated 2-4% annual customer churn from notification failures = €2.5M-€5M market impact; per-shop loss: €1,700-€3,450 annually (based on €123.8M market ÷ 1,448 shops = €85.5k per shop)
- Frequency: Continuous (affects every customer notification cycle)
- Root Cause: Manual SMS/phone notifications lack detail; customers cannot verify repair status digitally; no integration between repair workflow and customer-facing pickup notification
