Social Media Analytics with SGAG | SGAG is a local news media and content distribution platform based in Singapore. The company was first started by co-founders Karl Mak and Xiao Ming as a spin-off project of 9GAG to generate localized content in 2012. Unlike 9GAG which allows users to upload their self-generated content, or using content taken from other social media platforms, SGAG produces and uploads its own original content. Their content is centered primarily around memes and issues that are relevant to young Singaporeans. Together with MGAG, the company’s Malaysian branch, SGAG is owned by the Hepmil Media Group.
To capture the interests of a wider audience, content generation is currently based on four strategies: relevance to audience, contains well-articulated stories, first to be published, and being unexpected. As of today, SGAG has approximately an audience size of 4 million per month across its platforms. However, SGAG competes within a rapidly changing social media landscape where trends are short-lasting. It is therefore vital for the company to identify how to swiftly capture new trends and optimize their content for their targeted audience to attain a higher reach. This is relevant as SGAG’s profitability is tied to its ability to effectively capture audience. Our project would strive to fulfill such goals by using analyzing their existing content published on their Facebook and YouTube channel. |

Predictive Parking Enforcement - Tackling indiscriminate parking by bike-sharing users |
Beginning their operations in January 2017, oBike is Singapore’s first homegrown stationless smart bicycle-sharing company which uses technology to change how transportation is viewed locally. oBike has bicycles located all over the island, and these bikes have built-in Bluetooth locks to enable one-way first and last mile commuting. This provides a convenient and environmentally friendly commute option for all, especially given Singapore’s compact size and interconnected urban areas. Despite intense competition stemming from other bicycle-sharing companies such as Mobike and OFO, oBike has achieved over one million downloads since its inception. Data has revealed that the company has consistently been at the top in terms of total number of application downloads, earning them the title of “Southeast Asia’s bike-sharing leader.” However, in recent months, Singapore’s Land and Transport Authority (LTA) has issued new rules and regulations, requiring bicycles to be parked in designated yellow boxes around the islands. LTA enforcers survey the island, and issue tickets to bike-sharing companies in the event where bicycles are found to be illegal parked. From the time a ticket is issued, oBike has a mere four hours to move their illegally-parked bicycles. Failure to do so will incur hefty fines. Consequently, oBike’s current challenge is to manage illegal parking of their bicycles. |

KOI is one of the most well-known bubble tea brands in Singapore, founded in 2006. Despite this, it is facing logistics problems in their daily operations such that employees in different branches have difficulty predicting the right amount of ingredients to order. Moreover, space constraints of each branch is different and have to be taken into consideration, since not every branch can order the same amount of quantity, leading to a steep learning curve for new employees. Current employees also do not fully understand how much ingredients would be needed during promotional periods of certain products. As such, our project aims to focus on predictive analysis tools along with data provided by KOI to better understand correlations between different factors and sales, helping employees make better informed decisions on how much to order in the future. |

Inventory Analytics for F&B Company |
Our sponsor is a food-service organisation that owns and manages various renowned restaurant brands. XYZ Company has evolved into different concepts, with further overseas expansion. Under these concepts, the group has a total of 13 outlets in Singapore. Currently, our sponsor is not able to accurately determine the number of ingredients to order for their chain of restaurants. It is often based on guesswork and gut feeling which has often led to excessive holding costs as well as food wastage and in some cases, shortage of ingredients. This is not ideal as it may lead to various issues such as cost due to the non-freshness of the product, throwing of food due to expiry, not enough space in storage, the inability to satisfy customer demand, etc. Our main objective is to forecast the number of ingredients needed for the next order cycle and create a user-friendly application which they can use. This application would be based on a predictive model that we will develop and refine. With this application, the staff can more accurately gauge the optimal inventory quantity and order quantity and not need to rely on gut feeling from previous experience, as is the existing practice. In summary, our business goal is to ensure accurate and optimal orders to fulfil storage, optimising storage space for each individual outlet. |

Behavioral analysis of users from Database Request Log |
With over 250 000 e-books provided by both Lee Ka Shing (LKS) library and Kwa Geok Choo (KGC) law library through the web service at library.smu.edu.sg, SMU library provide an array of collections to cater to support teaching and research across the multiple schools and faculties. Currently, SMU library purchases e-books on certain databases through the Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) scheme. The PDA scheme allows SMU library to list e-books that are not yet purchased as “available” to SMU community. These e-books are subsequently automatically purchase upon meeting some trigger points when access by the SMU community. At the moment, it has been highlighted that some e-book purchases are triggered by a single unique user due to repeated access. As a result, it diminishes the effective use of PDA funds as the e-books are not widely used across SMU community. We aim to derive actionable insights from the data based on the behavioural patterns of users and understand the extent of effectiveness that PDA provides in meeting the needs of SMU community. |

Freight Data Analysis |
This project aims to study into a critical factor behind XXX’s success as a freight transportation service provider: the price of its corporate shipping contracts. Contract bidding refers to the process of XXX submitting a tender to secure a corporate contract in order to provide its freight services to a company. To secure its shipping contracts, XXX has to go through several bidding rounds with competitors, which include major players such as UPS, Fedex and other companies in the same region. By discovering insights into the factors affecting the bidding price for its shipping contracts, this better allows XXX to understand the thought process and motivation behind the bidding results of its customers, across various industries as well as different countries, and potentially better prepares them for negotiation with their customers for future contract bidding rounds by offering better terms which are of greater concern specifically for different types of customers, thus enabling them to have a higher chance of earning contracts and reaping more profits. |

Improving Chope’s marketing campaigns though data analysis | Chope is a 24/7, free-of-charge, instantly-confirmed, restaurant reservations company.Trusted by a network of over hundreds of restaurants in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, they offer a seamless dining experience starting with easy reservations because life is too short to wait in line.
Most of the restaurant reservations on the Chope system are done on its website. Hence, the marketing channel utilised most by Chope is Electronic Direct Mailer (EDM) to its user base, featuring content such as promotional deals, new restaurant additions and curated lists. As consumers have different preferences, Chope hopes to improve the effectiveness of its EDM campaigns by having more segmentation and personalisation of their marketing campaigns, which they believe would result in an increase in the number of reservations per user from the existing user base, translating directly to more revenue being generated. |
