Efficient Competition Monitoring with Yellow Tokens
Scenario
A consumer goods company faced a highly competitive market where every move made by competitors could directly affect its market position. The company’s Business Intelligence team was responsible for monitoring competitors to understand their strategies, identify strengths and weaknesses, and predict future moves. However, the competition monitoring process was time-consuming and expensive, involving manual data collection from various sources and the creation of extensive, lengthy reports. The team needed to find a more efficient and cost-effective way to monitor the competition and provide timely competitive insights.
Problem
The Business Intelligence team faced several challenges in effectively monitoring the competition:
- High Costs: traditional competition monitoring involved high costs, including hiring external consulting firms and using expensive market analysis tools.
- Delay in Reports: manual data collection and report compilation took weeks, meaning the insights obtained were often outdated by the time they reached senior management.
- Intensive Analysis Work: the team needed to manually analyze large volumes of data from various sources, a labor-intensive process prone to errors, making it difficult to identify relevant patterns and trends.
How Yellow Tokens Helped through Understanding Customer Feedback
The solution came with the implementation of Yellow Tokens, which automated the collection and analysis of customer feedback about competitors on major digital platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok, TripAdvisor, and Google My Business. The tool consolidated this feedback into a single, daily updated dashboard, making data access and visualization easier.

These action plans helped the Business Intelligence team quickly identify market opportunities and develop precise recommendations aligned with the analyzed period.
- Ease in Identifying Strategic Moves by Competitors: detailed feedback analysis enabled the team to quickly detect changes in competitors' strategies, such as new product launches, price adjustments, and marketing campaigns, allowing for agile responses.
