Mining companies are moving fast on customer experience, but the results are uneven. By 2025, 95% of customer interactions are expected to be handled through digital channels, even as only 52% of organizations track CX metrics like satisfaction and NPS. Let’s look at how that gap plays out across mining service teams, from effort scores and churn sensitivity to AI, portals, and knowledge management investments.
