Resolve complaints faster by understanding them the moment they arrive

Sift analyses customer complaints to extract the core issue, severity, desired resolution, and emotional tone so your team can respond with precision and empathy.

The problem

Complaints arrive as emotional, unstructured messages. Agents spend time interpreting what actually happened, what the customer wants, and how urgent it is. Slow resolution escalates frustration and drives churn.

The solution

Sift reads the complaint, separates the factual issue from the emotional context, identifies what resolution the customer is seeking, and flags the severity level. Your team responds to the right problem with the right tone from the first message.

What users type

I'm absolutely livid. I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter's party on Saturday and it arrived a day late, completely squashed, and it was chocolate when I specifically ordered vanilla. I've spent £85 on a cake nobody could eat. I want a full refund AND a replacement delivered by this weekend or I'm going to every review site I can find.
