Background Context

The Impact of the Tech Boom on Feedback and Reviews Analysis

In recent years, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed the way people interact with businesses and provide feedback. With the growth of online platforms and social media, individuals now have unprecedented opportunities to share their opinions, experiences, and reviews for products and services. This shift towards digital feedback has been fueled by the convenience and accessibility offered by online platforms, allowing users to express their sentiments with ease.

Increasing Reliance on Online Feedback

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, businesses are increasingly reliant on online feedback and reviews to gauge customer satisfaction and improve their offerings. Platforms such as social media, review websites, and e-commerce platforms have become integral channels for customers to voice their opinions and influence purchasing decisions. The abundance of online feedback provides businesses with valuable insights into customer sentiments, preferences, and pain points.

Challenges in Data Retrieval and Analysis

Despite the benefits of online feedback, retrieving and analysing these data present significant challenges. The sheer volume of user-generated content, coupled with data fragmentation across various platforms, makes it difficult for businesses to aggregate and analyse feedback effectively. Traditional methods of data collection and analysis struggle to keep pace with the rapid influx of online feedback, leading to delays in insights generation and decision-making.

Project Initiation: Addressing the Need for Sentiment Analysis

Recognising the importance of harnessing online reviews for actionable insights, our project was initiated to develop a sentiment analysis application tailored for GXS Bank. The goal of the project is to leverage natural language processing techniques and large language models to analyse customer feedback from the bank's mobile application. By extracting sentiments, identifying trends, and providing actionable insights, the project aims to enhance customer understanding and drive service excellence through data-driven decision-making.

Primary Objectives

To address the need for sentiment analysis, the objectives of our project include:

  • Enhanced Customer Understanding: The project aims to enhance our comprehension of customer needs and expectations. This enables GXS to gain information from the opinions, sentiments, and challenges expressed by the customers with ease.
  • Comparative Analysis of Competitors: We look to directly compare the performance of GXS banking application against other major banks' banking applications in Singapore. This will aid GXS in pinpointing areas that they are lacking in to stay ahead of the competition.
  • Improved Service Excellence through Data-Driven Insights: The project also serves to pinpoint specific service areas that can be improved, and generate potential solutions and insights for GXS' reference.
