Difficulties Faced By The Brand
The company manufactures and markets a wide range of consumer goods, including fans, LED lighting, water heaters, coolers, irons, kitchen appliances, and pumps. They sell a variety of consumer goods on Amazon and Flipkart. It is evident that the number of conversations taking place around them is enormous, and working on it manually is a time-consuming procedure.

With conversations, reviews, and queries flooding in from a variety of social media platforms, e-commerce platforms, and other web channels, the monitoring process is not methodical.
Competition tracking is an essential element of the brand’s marketing strategy; nevertheless, personally tracking each and every competitor in the market was extremely tough. It was quite difficult to extract appropriate inferences from such vast volumes of data pouring in from numerous sources without a wireframe. This not only prolonged the procedure but also made it inefficient.
