Global Consumer Platform

A large consumer platform had no way to predict who would leave, why they were dissatisfied, or where marketing spend was being wasted. GYSP built the analytics engine that answered all three.

The Challenge

A large-scale consumer platform was operating with no systematic view of customer behaviour beyond transactional records. Churn was reactive: customers left before anyone knew they were at risk. Marketing spend was allocated without a quantitative model of which segments returned value proportional to outreach cost, and customer feedback collected at scale across digital channels sat as unstructured raw text with no mechanism to surface product issues or sentiment trends. The data infrastructure reflected the problem: multiple disparate systems holding customer, transactional, behavioural, and feedback data, none of them connected, each requiring manual effort to query and reconcile. Without a unified data layer, building any statistical model meant weeks of data preparation before a single hypothesis could be tested.

Our Solution

GYSP architected a unified customer intelligence platform built on an agnostic multi-language stack spanning SQL, Go, R, Python, and Hadoop, designed from the ground up for analytical workloads at consumer data scale. Automated ingestion pipelines replaced all manual data reconciliation, connecting the disparate relational databases into a single analytical layer with no per-query preparation overhead. On that foundation, GYSP built three statistical modelling layers: churn prediction models using historical behavioural data to score customers by flight risk before they disengaged, customer lifetime value estimations quantifying the revenue at stake per segment, and predictive propensity models informing which customers were most likely to respond to specific outreach types. A fourth layer addressed the unstructured feedback problem: specialised NLP text mining and sentiment tracking workflows were built directly on raw customer feedback, extracting product insight vectors and flagging sentiment trends that manual review would never have surfaced consistently at volume. The CLV and propensity outputs fed directly into marketing allocation logic, replacing intuition-driven spend decisions with statistically grounded customer segmentation. The result was a 20% reduction in total capital expenditure for customer outreach campaigns without reducing reach to high-value segments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did the churn prediction model work and what data did it use?+

The churn prediction models were trained on historical customer behavioural data, including login frequency, product usage patterns, support interactions, and transaction history, to identify statistical signatures that preceded disengagement. Each active customer was scored against the model continuously, producing a flight risk ranking that let retention teams prioritise outreach toward customers showing early warning patterns rather than reacting after the decision to leave had already been made.

What is customer lifetime value (CLV) and how was it used in marketing allocation?+

CLV is the net present value of the future revenue a customer is expected to generate over their relationship with the platform. GYSP built CLV estimation models using historical revenue data and propensity scores, then connected the outputs directly into marketing allocation logic. Spend decisions that had previously been made on segment-level averages were replaced with per-customer CLV weighting, concentrating outreach investment on segments where the expected return justified the spend. This produced the 20% reduction in total outreach capital expenditure without reducing coverage of high-value customers.

How did the NLP sentiment engine extract product insights from raw customer feedback?+

Specialised text mining workflows were built to process raw customer feedback at scale, applying NLP techniques including tokenisation, entity extraction, and sentiment classification to surface themes, product pain points, and sentiment trends that manual review could never process consistently at volume. Rather than producing generic positive or negative scores, the workflows extracted specific product insight vectors — references to particular features, friction points, or service experiences — giving product teams an evidence base for prioritisation decisions grounded in what customers were actually saying.

Why was a multi-language stack (SQL, Go, R, Python, Hadoop) used rather than a single platform?+

Each component was matched to the language best suited for its specific workload. R handled the statistical modelling where its analytical library ecosystem was the fastest path to validated models. Python powered the NLP workflows and data transformation layer. Go was used for the high-throughput ingestion pipelines where concurrency and performance mattered. SQL managed the relational query layer across the unified data hub, and Hadoop provided the distributed processing capacity for analytical workloads at consumer data scale. An agnostic stack meant each problem was solved with the right tool rather than forcing every workload into a single technology's constraints.
