Case Study: Restoring Trust in Aviation

During a period of intense operational pressure, this Multinational Electronics Retailer experienced unprecedented shifts in customer feedback. While traditional metrics simply showed a drop in satisfaction, Sentor's entity-based sentiment API uncovered the severe, structural root causes hidden within the noise.

The Challenge

The brand was receiving massive amounts of feedback across multiple channels. Legacy systems failed to differentiate between superficial complaints and deep-seated operational failures. The leadership team required profound diagnostics, not just a surface-level NPS score.

Sentor's Deep AI Analysis

By connecting their data pipelines to Sentor, the organization generated the following executive diagnostic, isolating the critical failures directly from the raw customer voice:

1. Executive Diagnostic

Brand health is Critical. Systemic failures in order fulfillment, repair processes, and customer service effectiveness are directly driving significant customer dissatisfaction and escalating churn risk. The most alarming insight is the recurring inability to deliver purchased goods or resolve long-pending repair and refund requests.

2. Root Causes

Order Fulfillment & Delivery Failures

Failure: Purchased products are frequently undelivered, deliveries are mishandled, and essential tracking or status information is often missing or inaccurate.

Evidence: "The courier damaged the parcel in transit and returned it to [The Company] without ever delivering it to me." (doc_9); "Said it was delivered when I was at home and no one even knocked." (doc_18); "the repsentative claimed the camera is out of stock, despite the fact that your website currently shows it as available for immediate online purchase." (doc_13)

Root Cause: [System Error] / [Service Failure]

Business Impact: Churn, revenue loss, reputation damage.

Failed Repair Processes

Failure: Devices submitted for repair experience prolonged delays, lack proactive communication, and often result in no resolution (repair, replacement, or refund) after months.

Evidence: "The device has now been with their service department for more than one month." (doc_2); "I sent laptop on warranty on 16 September 2025 and since then I have no laptop and no refund." (doc_10)

Root Cause: [Policy Gap] / [Service Failure]

Business Impact: Churn, severe reputation damage, potential legal risk.

Customer Service Ineffectiveness & Lack of Accountability

Failure: Customer service provides generic "looking into it" responses without resolution, agents abruptly terminate interactions, and the company actively avoids responsibility for issues, including the rejection of critical but respectful product reviews.

Evidence: "All I get every time I contact customer service is the same copy-paste response: “We are looking into it.”" (doc_9); "the representative chose to end the chat session abruptly without offering any resolution" (doc_13); "rejecting a good written product and service review ... is just an act of covering it up" (doc_29)

Root Cause: [Service Failure] / [Policy Gap]

Business Impact: Churn, severe reputation damage (e.g., TrustPilot escalation), legal risk.

3. Most Damaging Customer Voice

Quote: "Is it not a thievery at this point? They keep my laptop and also did not refund." (doc_10)

Insight: This feedback directly accuses the brand of illegal and unethical conduct, representing a peak in customer frustration and signaling profound trust erosion and high legal/reputational risk.

4. Recovery Roadmap

Immediate (24h): Initiate immediate contact and full resolution (refund/replacement/expedited repair) for all cases identified in the "Failed Repair Processes" and "Order Fulfillment & Delivery Failures" root causes.

Process Fix (30 days): Implement a strict, proactive communication protocol for all customer interactions, especially concerning orders, deliveries, and repairs. Revise policies to ensure clear accountability for delivery partners and timely refund processing.

Structural (90 days): Invest in robust IT system integration for real-time inventory and delivery tracking accuracy. Develop comprehensive customer service training focused on issue ownership, conflict resolution, and empowerment for immediate problem-solving.

Transformation & Results

By executing Sentor's prioritized Recovery Roadmap, the organization immediately rectified policy gaps and overhauled fulfillment logic. Within 90 days, the sentiment surrounding customer service improved significantly, preventing further reputational decay. The brand shifted from reactive guesswork to data-driven operational excellence.
