Many of our clients using Enterprise Resource Planning in short, ERP software or any cloud program such as Accounting cloud software capture data differently and may not be suitable to your business. This Data may not be useful if they don’t provide you the information that you want. There are many ERP tools out there promising you with specific analytical function for your business and in fact they are not specialized in handling the complexity and dynamics of your Data which is why sometimes either your data do not make any sense or you do not understand the data that is being captured.
Data is a valuable resource to your company in making the right decision at the right time giving you the edge among your competitors.

What is happening to your business?
This is the most common form of analytics where we capture key measures / matrix of the data.
Such example can be standard reports
eg: What is the call volume for August? What is the average sales of product for the past week?
What will likely happen to your business?
Many business strategies involve around Predictive analysis to predict outcome based on historical trends. They are able to capture these insights automatically using algorithm and technology such as our AI & Machine Learning tools.
eg: Which customers are likely to call? Which customer are likely to buy certain product on certain days?
What do you need to do?
This is the pinnacle of analytics where data are optimized for recommended actions or strategies based on testing strategy outcome. Applying advanced technique of analytics to make specific recommendations
eg: How many manpower needed required to handle the call volume? How many raw materials for specific product?
Why is it happening to your business?
The ability to spot outlier from your data provides you with useful information. Like Six Sigma, the ability to drill-down to the root cause and isolated the segment.

Why should you do NPS survey?
Nowadays, with fingertips, customers have access to various choices of products and services in the market. This raises business competition especially in B2C sector. The access to choices increases the chance of customer trying new products and services, which is making it harder to keep the customers loyal to your brand. Consequently, it is more crucial than ever to understand your customers; what customers like about your brand? what customers dislike about your brand? what should be focused to retain your customer, and what can make customer happy enough to promote your products and services to their friends and family or even online?
What is NPS?
NPS stands for “Net Promoter Score” or how likely your customer want to recommend you to their friends & family, and etc. It could represents how satisfied your customer with your products or services. Usually, there is strong correlation between NPS and Customer Satisfaction. A satisfied customer is definitely more likely to recommend you than others. This also means how many people like your products or services.
What is Customer Satisfaction?
Customer Satisfaction is an indicator of customer happiness based on what they get compare to what they hope for. If you can meet or exceed the customer’s expectation, you can make your customers satisfied. On the other hand, customers will show dissatisfaction when the products or services are not met the customer’s expectation. In fact, business owners can use the Customer Satisfaction Survey tools like online channels, email, telephone auto message, or paper to acquire the customer’s insight such as overall customer satisfaction score, what customer like, what customer dislike, and willingness to recommend brand to friends and family.
Why Customer Satisfaction Is So Important?
“Acquiring a new customer usually cost 6-7 times more than retaining current ones. On the average, the loyal customers tend to spend 10 times more than their first purchase.” That’s why the business owners should always value the customer satisfaction more than marketing to get new customer. By nature, when the customers are happy with products or services, they are more likely to promote your brand with their friends and family, which is ultimate goal of running business.
With how convenience to access options, the customers can be swayed to try other brands at any given time. Especially if the current products or services they are using don’t meet their expectations. Research also found that brands have to create up to 12 positive experiences in order to compensate for a negative experience customer had. On top of this, it is much easier for customers to share bad experience about a product or a service than a good one. It is impossible to stop customer from sharing their experience, but you can implement a channel to gather customer feedback and turn it into a strategy for your products or services improvement.
Focusing on customer satisfaction trends
The next problem after having a channel to gather customer feedback such as customer satisfaction survey is you have to go through a large amount of data. It is quite challenging to arrange a sizable data into a sensible format which is required to see customer satisfaction trends. There are a few ways to find the trends in customer satisfaction, for example, using the program that can report the fluctuation of customer satisfaction, focusing on industry-wise or region-wise target, or finding the correlation between customer satisfaction and other inputs.
If you are looking to improve your product or service using the customer satisfaction, Davoy.tech is ready to onboard you to the journey to understand your customer better both for customer satisfaction & NPS. We will hold your hands from creating customer satisfaction survey, data analysis, to building interactive dashboard with our end-to-end customer satisfaction platform.

Power BI vs Tableau vs Google Data Studio (in 2021)

Maslow of Data Analytics
If you are wondering how to start your Data Analytics Journey, Davoy.tech would like to present you Maslow Hierarchy of Data Analytics.
Step:1 Physical Need <> Data Driven Decision
You don’t need fancy models or advanced tools. The first step is to use data to drive your business decisions. For example, instead of just re-order the product your like, you might want to look at historical sales and the inventory level.
Step 2: Security <> Integrated Data
Next step is to get data integrated. This is the most overlooked stage to me. Most companies reported different sales revenue from different departments such as Sales, Marketing, Finance. This is due to different business logic and Silo. We should align on the data definition and data usage before moving up the Pyramid.
Step 3: Social <> Real-time Data
The world is changing fast. To catch up, you need fast data. Many companies are looking March sales in Mid-April as they need to wait for their staffs to pivot and report them. Wouldn’t it be better if we can see it daily?
Step 4: Self-Esteem <> Individual Data
To be able to run advanced models such as Customer Segmentation, RFM in Marketing 5.0, you need individual data points and more profile enrichments.
Step 5: Self-Actualization : Machine Learning
Finally, yeahhh we can use machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to enable your business for competitive advantage.
In reality, most companies, even MNCs, are still struggling with Step 1 or Step 2; some might be in Step 3 or Step 4. However, I can see lots of hypes around ‘AI’ and ‘Machine Learning’. I’d like to remind that we need to set our foundations strong before we can proceed to AI and ML.
If you want to set your foundations right, you can contact us at lin@davoy.tech
What is Consumer Journey & Marketing Funnel
Not all people will purchase once they see the product, this blog explains how consumer journey through the purchase decision
Likert Scale : From 1-5, how much would your rate…?
In questionnaires, it is very common to see the questionnaire asking you “From 1 to 5, how much would you rate…?” (1 is totally negative and 5 is totally positive or vice versa).
Thailand’s PDPA Law Highlights
Thailand PDPA Law was enacted in May 2019 and is going to be effective on 27 May 2020. Here are some key highlights from the EDTA workshop.
What is Business Dashboard and how we should do it?
So-called ‘Dashboards’ are heard in our analytics driven world but what exactly is dashboard and why we should do it?
Data Visualization Techniques
The easiest way to explain your data to someone else is actually to visualize it. Data Visualization could be considered as story-telling or how to tell your story to your audiences or as analysis tool to make you understand your data better.
To be able to visualize data, there is a very useful knowledge called ‘Semiology of Graphic’ which many seems to overlook and go to what chart I should use. Semiology of Graphic deals with how we can actually play with different aspects of the chart to reflex the differences in data.
Segmentation by Analytics
Segmentation is to split the market into different groups – each group with similar characteristics. Why do we do this? Because, STP or Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning will help the company select the right segment to target with right positioning. You could not sell your product or services to all people on earth. For example, not all people will buy fruit juices, only those who concerned about health will be interested.
What are CLV and CAC?
With the raise of Data Analytics, the most common concept we have heard about from Marketing side of Data Analytics is ‘CLV’ and ‘CAC’. So, what are CLV and CAC?
