The Customer Experience Model (CXM) KPIs - an overview

The Customer Experience Model (CXM) is a set of KPIs for partners to evaluate and steer your operational performance on a country level, in order to ensure best-in-class shopping experience to your customers. 

The KPIs measured in CXM are closely aligned with the customer journey on the Zalando platform. Below you see each of the CXM KPIs along the customer journey:

To ensure excellent customer experience, our partners performance must be in line with Zalando’s. Partners are responsible for monitoring the performance of their CXM KPIs. Failure to meet the targets of each KPI will result in downsorting -meaning your articles won’t have full visibility on Zalando- or deactivation from the Zalando store for that specific market.

Each market has a different logistics Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which ensures a consistent and positive customer experience. Failure to meet the SLAs will result in platform downsorting or deactivation. The table below outlines the SLAs for each market:

Working Days: all weekdays apart from Sundays and national holidays. Saturdays are counted as working days in several markets, noted in the column Saturday exclusion above. 

Delivery time is counted as the number of working days from the date the customer order is made available in your system until the first delivery attempt.

Reimbursement time is counted as the number of working days from the day the return is initiated with the carrier until the day when Zalando receives the return confirmation from the partner.
