SAP Retail
In today's increasingly complex and unstructured social media world, the voice of the customer is omnipresent in the social media spectrum, e.g. social networks, blogs, micro blogs, opinion markets, forums. These plus more provide ample opportunity for shoppers to praise, cajole and criticize based on their personal sh...opping and product experiences. How does a retailer possibly approach monitoring the voice of the customer, accurately assess customer sentiment, glean important impressions about their customer service, product assortments, quality of personnel, etc. from a vast and varied, ad-hoc landscape? Is there sense to be made from all these disparate grass-roots sources?

The answer, is yes. This nascent field of unstructured data can derive customer sentiment from a myriad of external sources - and assemble them into meaningful, line of business or C-level insight. SAP has sponsored an exciting new whitepaper with RSR that focuses on how retailers are awakening to the vast external repositories of rich feedback that exist and can take advantage of this feedback loop. This paper profiles leading retailers and how they are beginning to tap the gestalt of the shopper experience, largely provided via social media sources, to provide key indicators on company health and look for trends (locations, cool products, poor products, clean restrooms, etc) to help drive increased customer satisfaction and profitability.
