Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet and the transformation of consumption patterns have prompted consumers to purchase fresh products online. For fresh e-commerce enterprises, logistics is an important aspect of customer satisfaction. Therefore, this study focused on online review information and used a convolutional neural network text mining model for its analysis. Logistics service elements concerned with customer satisfaction are convenience, communication, integrity, responsiveness, and reliability. Thereafter, comment information was converted to digital information using sentiment analysis. Finally, a correlation analysis was carried out to compare the significance of various influencing factors. The results confirm that convenience, communication, reliability, and responsiveness had a significant impact on customer satisfaction, whereas integrity had none. Fresh e-commerce logistic services need to improve for the development of the companies.
