(Key Performance Indicators)  Scott and his Team will work with you on what you want evaluated and how high of a standard you want to hold your team accountable to. The questions and areas of the business inspected are selected by you and you receive back-up via a written report and photos.

“I can say quite a bit about how much we like the AA product and how much better it is than the other services we have used.  It is a great addition to our in house surveying and we continue to find it well worth our investment.  The GM’s and their teams at all the Schlitterbahn parks look forward to the AA surveys.  The customizing AA did for us to make sure we get the information we need to measure and continuously improve our guests experience was helpful.  The thorough and useful reports are a great snapshot of what the guests’ entire experience is.   Anytime we have a question or issue about any part of the process calls are promptly taken and acted upon by the AA team.  Managers are using the online comparison tools to check past and current performance and improvement.  A very helpful tool!”
