One of the first to bring charcoal grills to market
Char-Broil’s incredible story starts in 1948, when they brought over one of the first charcoal grills to the US, changing grilling forever. Since then, the Georgia-based company has kept innovating with new products and technologies. All in the name of improving outdoor cooking for everyone, everywhere.
The challenge of understanding consumers’ wants and needs
The Char-Broil team realized that consumer reviews were critical to gaining a deeper understanding of their customers and improving the ability to respond to consumer needs, requests, and concerns
The key challenge was to get that feedback on products in real-time and then relay it to development teams according to their timelines so they’ll develop new products and features to meet dynamic market demand.
For a company that’s looking to build a consumer data-obsessed company culture, this was a real thorn on their side.
One of the key challenges is real-time feedback and being able to continuously get that feedback loop within an adequate amount of time.

Old-school methods of data-collection and analysis weren’t cutting it
At first, Char-Broil’s attempt to deliver data-driven decisions was mainly powered by a full-time data analyst on staff. They focused on capturing and analyzing voice-of-customer (VoC) data.
But the company found it challenging, as data was hoarded within a single department and wasn’t flowing fast enough to meet their needs.
Further, individual product managers and engineers conducted independent VoC exercises. Still, the company didn’t have a centralized customer review database or an analysis tool to evaluate its competitors’ or its position in the market.
How Char-Broil used Revuze to control and own their data
- Formulate a stronger competitive strategy
- Improve consumer awareness and conversion
- And transform consumers into brand advocates
They found it in Revuze. Within a short time of working with Revuze, the Char-Broil team was able to achieve incredible results that transformed the company.

Democratized data access and building a collaborative company culture
All organizational stakeholders at Char-Broil gained real-time access to VoC data, from product management and engineering to brand/marketing, sales, quality, and consumer service.
Team members in all functions can hear the voice of the customer loud and clear, gathering insights objectively to better meet customer needs across the board.
Instead of specific roles hoarding data, all team members share what they’ve learned from Revuze’s dashboard, discussing implications collaboratively.
Char-Broil has even developed a cross-functional learning plan in which ‘captains’ from each discipline work together to create monthly review reports as well as a quarterly Voice of the Consumer review.
