How Char-Broil Transformed Consumer Feedback into Real-Time Business Impact

  • Quickly Identify and Resolve Product Issues
  • Enhance Product Descriptions
  • Improve Internal Collaboration

The Challenge

Char-Broil, recognized for its iconic grills, faced challenges harnessing customer feedback in real-time. The company needed a more effective way to gather and interpret insights from customer reviews to respond quickly to dynamic market demand. While Char-Broil already collected Voice of the Customer (VoC) data, the lack of a centralized platform and manual data processing slowed decision-making and stifled the company’s goal of building a data-driven culture.

Challenge #1: Real-time feedback collection

Char-Broil’s existing system relied on manual data collection and independent VoC exercises conducted by product managers and engineers. This fragmented approach made it difficult to gather feedback in real-time and relay it to development teams fast enough to influence product innovation.

Challenge #2: Fragmented data and lack of a centralized system

The company lacked a unified platform to consolidate and analyze feedback from multiple retailers and competitors. Without a centralized customer review database, product teams couldn’t easily access or act on critical insights.

""One of the key challenges is real-time feedback and being able to continuously get that feedback loop within an adequate amount of time."
Rob Hawkins
Senior Marketing Manager

​​The Solution

Char-Broil implemented Revuze to address these challenges, providing teams with a real-time, AI-powered analytics platform that made customer insights accessible to the entire organization.

Revuze's platform helped Char-Broil:

  • Formulate a more competitive strategy
  • Improve Consumer awareness and conversions
  • Transform consumers into brand advocates by responding to their needs more efficiently
  • Democratize data access and cross-functional collaboration

With Revuze, Char-Broil eliminated data silos, ensuring that all stakeholders—from product management and engineering to marketing, sales, and customer service— had access to real-time insights. This transparency allowed Char-Broil to develop a more collaborative approach to decision-making, with team members working together to create monthly review reports and a quarterly “Voice of the Consumer” review.

“Revuze allows us to dive deep into specific topics on current products. This helps us evaluate what we might be working on down the road and construct specific questions within our current research plan to refine further and enhance what consumers really want or are talking about.”
