Today, the company has further transformed people hearing journey through a new Point of Sale hearing screening kiosk IQconnect available at various retail stores globally. It has also launched a comprehensive Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform.
IQconnect works on enhancing the sales process by checking whether the IQbuds family is fit for purpose for a customer or not through a two-minute instore screening hearing test which is tested at different frequencies to check the level of a personâs hearing loss. It examines the intensity of hearing loss and guides through the IQbuds range. Also, if the person is found with more profound hearing loss, it would guide them another hearing solution.
This in-store consultation is aimed towards enhancing the relationship between NUH and its customers or retailers. With IQconnect, the retailers are now more focused on creating enhanced service and touchpoint opportunities through the interaction with customers.
The screening test helps the customers to break the traditional barriers of visiting an audiologist and unlocks affordability and accessibility through easy access.

IQconnect is currently on a trial stage available at a few retail stores, but it will be incrementally deployed at other retail stores globally during Q1.
As per the management, IQconnect completely connects the customer journey starting with the examining the intensity of hearing health to guiding the person through the range of IQbuds to proving a better after sale service by monitoring the health throughout the personâs life.
