Shell Motorist App

For Shell, we analysed the current performance of the app by conducting a large scale analysis of the online environment related to the Shell Motorist app. Extending the current dataset with usable data was the first step in this process.

The extended dataset can be a starting point for improving the performance and integrating new innovations into the app. We investigated potential sources of qualitative & quantitative information and found several following options including the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, Twitter, Facebook, Integrated App Analytics, website support requests and support phone calls.

Analysis

After collecting and structuring all the data, we analysed the content of the tweets & reviews with machine learning tools in order to get a deeper understanding of the content of the customer feedback. First we analysed the sentiment of a tweet and afterwards we configured the software to identify key topics related to the content of the tweet. E.g. Design & UX and Connectivity. We also analysed the quantitative points like the review scores and their distribution over time.

We found several key topics related to specific issues with the app and could create a clear overview of the current performance of the app.

Dashboard metrics

Two main goals for Shell’s Motorist App are: creating stronger brand awareness and increasing fuel revenues. Before we can say anything about the level of customer satisfaction for the ‘Fill up and Go’ feature, we first need to clarify the KPIs and metrics. Examples are:

– Emotional Visualizer
– Sentiment distribution/analysis of the reviews and their topics
– Comparing the reviews/performance between countries
– Value per customer
– Usage time of the app
– Transaction and registration funnel
