AMG Research pioneered a proprietary approach to measuring competitive advantage – the Competitive Advantage Measurement System (CAMS™).
CAMS is a customer survey that measures competitive advantage by comparing various suppliers’ relative performance on a number of different factors or attributes. As an independent outside company, AMG Research is able to obtain objective, unbiased perceptions of both customers and non-customers on the suppliers that serve them.
The CAMS analysis provides the following benefits:
- Understand how well you are meeting customer needs based on direct, unbiased customer input
- Measure how well you are performing compared to competitors at both customer and non-customer accounts
- Understand in what specific areas you are out-performing competitors or where competitors are out-performing you
- Identify key performance criteria and customers’ expectations to set meaningful metrics/ benchmarks
- Identify where competitive advantages exist and where they can be created
- Find key improvement actions that can have the greatest impact on market share
Each CAMS study includes an analysis of:
- What is most important to the purchase decision
- How well all suppliers are performing on key decision factors
- Competitor gap analysis
- Overall satisfaction/loyalty analysis
- Which factors contribute most to satisfaction and market share
- Customer expectations for performance
- Segmentation analysis
- Dissatisfaction profile to identify issues that need immediate attention
