Understanding VoC (Voice of Customer): Sentiment Analysis
What is VoC (Voice of Customer)?VoC represents consumer feedback regarding a product, service, or overall shopping experience. Negative VoC is an important signal for assessing the health of user experience, as it may indicate potential issues such as product quality problems, poor logistics experience, or discrepancies in product descriptions.Understanding and proactively monitoring VoC not only helps improve customer satisfaction and repurchase intention. The module aggregates data from product reviews and return/refund requests, using NLP techniques to detect negative sentiment signals in these channels, providing a diagnostic view of customer sentiment for each product.Where to find VoC Diagnosis:The VoC Diagnosis module is located under Analytics > Product Analytics.With the VoC module, sellers can:
- View the VoC status of each product
- Understand the issues causing negative feedback and their frequency
- Identify the core problems affecting consumer experience
Why is VoC Important for Sellers?
Customer feedback, especially negative feedback, is the most direct signal for assessing the health of the shopping experience. A poor experience not only reduces a user’s willingness to purchase but also weakens their trust in the seller, ultimately affecting overall sales performance.For both the platform and sellers, timely identification and handling of negative VoC is crucial to maintaining healthy and sustainable business growth.
In the past, however, sellers often only noticed issues after VoC problems had already escalated. By the time they received platform alerts, VoC metrics were usually already high. Therefore, sellers need earlier and more proactive insights to detect potential risks at an early stage and take corrective actions before GMV is impacted.
How is the VoC level calculated?
In the VoC column, sellers will see four status states. We compare the negative VoC of each product against the category benchmark and classify the product's VoC into four levels:- At Risk – Significantly above the benchmark
- Needs Attention – Slightly above the benchmark
- Market Average – In line with the benchmark
- Below Average – Below the benchmark

Our goal is to provide sellers with a benchmark across the industry, offering a target they can aim to reach.Why can't I directly see the VoC-related issues after entering the Manage Refund / Product Rating pages?At the moment, individual VoC cases are not surfaced on these pages.
