Powering Product Launches with Cross-Platform Review Demand Mapping

Business Challenge

A fast-growing D2C brand in fashion and accessories was unsure which product lines to expand and when.

They were evaluating categories such as:

Casual sneakers for Gen Z (Myntra)
Wireless headphones under ₹2,000 (Amazon/Flipkart)
Summer ethnicwear for women (Myntra/Amazon)
“We often launch after the trend peaks. We want to lead, not follow.”

The brand partnered with Datazivot to analyze review trends and sentiment spikes to guide product R&D and launch strategy.

Objectives

Scrape and monitor review volume and sentiment shifts for trending SKUs in adjacent brands.
Identify rising demand signals 4–6 weeks before sales data reflects them.
Recommend high-potential SKUs to launch or restock, backed by review-driven consumer signals.
Correlate demand spikes across Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra for holistic validation.

Our Approach

1. Multi-Platform Review Scraping
We scraped reviews daily from:

Amazon – Mobile accessories, ...
... fashion basics
Flipkart – Wearables, budget electronics
Myntra – Shoes, casualwear, ethnic fashion
Captured fields:

Review text, rating, product title, brand name, review date
Sentiment score and feature-based keywords
Volume of reviews per SKU over time
Data Volume: 1.1M+ reviews over 4 months

2. Demand Signal Detection
We used:

NLP-based keyword trend extraction (e.g., “pastel sneakers,” “noise cancellation,” “flared kurti”)
Sentiment-weighted volume analysis to identify rising product mentions
Platform triangulation to confirm demand consistency across channels
We tracked 80+ product attributes weekly across categories.

Sample Insights Table

Key Case Examples

1. Early Call: Pastel Sneakers for Gen Z (Myntra)
Datazivot spotted a rise in positive reviews around “pastel colors” and “lightweight comfort” across competing brands.
Review count surged 42% MoM with 80%+ positive mentions.
Client launched its pastel range 3 weeks before competitors, resulting in a 4.6x faster stockout than average.
Customer language in reviews became the creative base for the ad campaign.

2. Avoided a Product Flop
Many D2C brands were rushing to launch wired budget earphones due to low price point demand.
However, reviews showed complaints like “breaks easily,” “poor mic,” “no bass.”
Datazivot flagged this with a return-risk warning and saved the client an unnecessary investment.
Avoided a ₹12 lakh production cycle.

3. Cross-Platform Validation of Kurti Trends
Positive review spikes for “flared kurtis,” “gotta patti,” and “light festive wear” were noticed on both Amazon and Myntra.
Cross-platform confirmation increased confidence in stocking strategy for the Diwali season.
The brand prioritized new designs 2 months in advance.
Result: 34% higher pre-booking rate on Myntra compared to last season.
