The new tool, known as InsightIQ Sentiment, promises retail teams the ability to make 'smarter, faster decisions' about product assortment, design and marketing strategies by linking consumer sentiment directly with product value scores.

'With InsightIQ Sentiment, we are empowering retailers to not only address product underperformance but also uncover hidden gems in consumer feedback. This tool enables merchants to take smarter, more profitable actions that drive margin improvements, sell-through, and customer satisfaction'.
