The first early morning delivery service in E-commerce market in Korea was introduced in 2016 and has been growing rapidly for last six years. The early morning delivery market has grown in 150 times of its size than that of the beginning; it started with 10 billion won, but it reached 1.5 trillion won in 2020. Accordingly, a well-found research is significantly needed to suggest the direction of the early morning delivery market. The direction of the market should reflect the demand of the consumers, thus the analysis of the service factors is critical in understanding the demand. This study analyzes the factors for customer satisfaction by extracting key words from the user reviews of Google Play Store and Apple App Store and applying the machine learning (classification) to find the insight about the fast-growing early morning delivery service market.
User reviews of Market Kurly application, which first introduced the early morning delivery service to the market, are the primary data this study develops upon. Collected data date from February 20, 2016 to April 16, 2021, and the total of 10,390 were collected. The data were first pre-processed for the Natural Language Processing and filtered into total 6,417 data. Then, the machine learning (logistic regression) was processed consequently.
This paper focuses on and analyzes the service factors, which influence positively to the consumer experience on the early monring delivery service. A logistic regression model was adopted in order to classify words into positive and negative relationship. The influence of the words in positive relationship within the learning model is calculated and converted into scores, and top 10 words are used for the research model.
As a result, the total score of the research model is 64.7, while other factors score as follow: ‘Product’ records 29 (44.8%) and ‘Application Use’ scores 14.8 (22.9%). Thus, it is apparent that the ‘Product’ factor remarks the higher satisfaction in service than ‘Application Use’ factor does. In addition, terms such as ‘Environment’ and ‘Eco-friendly’ are concentrated in the ‘’Packaging’ factor. This leads to the point which usage of sustainable containers and packaging do have optimistic influence on customers’ service experience. In near future, more precise study on the service factors that affect customer satisfaction is feasible with continuously growing data volume. At last, it is expected that this study, with its insight on customer needs, provides a valuable indication to the management executives for improving the service quality of the early morning delivery.
