The Challenge

Multinational Digital Marketing and Social Network Insights

Our client’s global operations are spread across ten offices in five countries, and they use a closed enterprise suite called Brandwatch, to analyze digital marketing and social networks. It provides them with good insights and metrics for the English language by periodically crawling several social networks, blogs, and other websites in search of keywords.

However, Brandwatch does not perform at the same level of accuracy when switching to other languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian. From a large set of Brandwatch features, our customer remains focused on its NLP (Natural Language Processing) capabilities and insights discovery. Since they provide global services to their multinational customers, they wanted to find a way to support this type of analysis in a multi-language setting.

Even though the client is not a small company –they have more than 500 employees and its own IT department–, they were struggling to develop a custom solution to generate insights beyond the existing Brandwatch limitations.

The Solution

Natural Language Processing Platform

After analyzing the requirements and agreeing on a proposed implementation, Allata quickly assembled a team composed of a Data Architect, a Data Engineer, and a Data Scientist to implement a Natural Language Processing & Understanding (NLP & NLU) platform for multiple languages. This platform has the capacity to reveal a more accurate set of insights on Social Network Analysis, based on extracted data from Brandwatch plus other data sources such as Social Networks, blog sites, forums, newspapers, etc.

KPIs and metrics stored in a database are useless for an analyst without a flexible Dashboard for rendering infocharts, so our team also implemented and deployed a custom dashboard based on the open-source BI tool Superset. The multi-user and auto-scalable UI was a containerized solution on AWS ECS.

Data Lineage

The data flows over a comprehensive NLP pipeline, with every step following strict data life cycle practices: labeling and storing data and resulting KPIs in aggregated and raw formats. This enables traceability, which allows our customer to rebase the historical data with different business rules and threshold configurations, for even more accurate insights.

The Results

Actionable insights

The implemented solution allows the client to interpret and understand the impact of each of their campaigns on the LATAM Spanish-speaking market, making use of Artificial Intelligence for Natural Language Understanding.

Also, the solution was designed to easily support new languages, making it readily expansible.

FRIGUS BOHN

FRIGUS BOHN

As the Covid pandemic prevented in-person meetings with customers, FRIGUS BOHN SA needed a new way to interact with customers to review the prototypes of custom refrigeration systems before they went into production. To solve this challenge, FRIGUS BOHN turned to Allata for help in leveraging Microsoft HoloLens smart glasses to render 3-D models of refrigeration systems. Allata wrote code to extract the system models from an AutoCAD platform and to convert the models into holograms. Allata also applied innovative software development tools to enhance user experiences and then built a cloud infrastructure with a portal in Microsoft Azure to support consistent hologram performance. With the HoloLens devices, FRIGUS BOHN can now give customers detailed views into prototype models that help them understand the inner working of the refrigeration systems. The hologram devices also create the potential to enhance sales and service engagements with customers.
