In today’s omnichannel retail landscape, managing customer issues isn’t just about logging complaints, it’s about understanding the why behind them. Traditional feedback capture or sentiment tracking systems like survey forms, ticket logs, or NPS dashboards often fall short. They typically record surface-level responses without context, lack real-time analysis, and miss emotional cues that indicate deeper customer frustration or satisfaction.
Zence AI-driven Sentiment Analysis and Emotion Detection engine is built to solve this exact challenge—transforming raw textual feedback into real-time, actionable insights that drive intelligent workflows, improve service delivery, close the loop faster, and deliver positive experiences.
Let’s explore how AI-Powered Customer Service tool transforms the retail landscape with real-time emotion detection, dynamic insights, and growth-driving actions.
Capturing Feedback Across Every Touchpoint
Your customers interact with your brand in more than one way—online, offline, on the move, or mid-scroll. Zence omnichannel approach ensures you capture customer feedback at every step of their journey—from point-of-sale surveys to post-service WhatsApp conversations.

What makes Zence AI Sentiment Engine unique?
Zence uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to classify feedback across three key layers –
- Sentiment: Is the feedback positive, neutral, or negative?
- Emotion: Is the customer happy, angry, disappointed, or surprised?
- Intent & Urgency: Are they just venting or expecting a quick resolution? Is this a priority issue?
This multidimensional approach enables brands to contextualize feedback, not just categorize it.
