PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkieva, a leading provider of supply chain planning software for manufacturing companies, today announced the creation of a Sentiment Analysis Dashboard to track fan excitement levels.

Social media fan sentiment analysis tool.

With offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Wilmington, Delaware, Arkieva, a 25-year-old supply chain software company, has a long-standing history of creating planning software solutions that help manufacturers plan to better meet demand. As part of this offering, Arkieva offers a Sentiment Analysis tool that allows businesses to track product and customer sentiments from social media websites such as Twitter.

Building the Fan Sentiment Analysis Tool

The team at Arkieva set out to prove or disprove that Philadelphia fans are more excited about the Big Game than New England fans. To do so, they created a dashboard for tracking the sentiment of team fans using the company's existing technology for tracking social sentiment.

"We wanted to use our social sentiment analysis tool in a different form. Our customers often use our social sentiment tool to help better sense demand in the marketplace so that they can plan accordingly. For our Fan Sentiment Analysis, we employed the same technology for tracking keywords relating to the different teams. It's been fun, tracking the sentiment scores and fans that seem to show more excitement according to our sentiment analysis tool," says Hellen Oti-Yeboah, Marketing Manager, Arkieva.

Sentiment Scores

The Arkieva Fan Sentiment Analysis Tool assigns a score to each tweet received for tracked keywords or hashtags, and then, assigns a positive or negative sentiment score based on the tone of the message. The sentiment scores rank from 0.1 – 0.9. The closer you get to 1.0, the more positive the message is deemed.

Determining the winning team for each day

The rules to win the excitement level challenge using the sentiment tool is as follows:

A team had to reach the mark of 1000 posts within the given day
And should have a sentiment score of 0.6 and above
