What if your next product flaw is already out there?

Not in the headlines.

Not trending on TikTok.

Just buried in a few vague survey comments, scattered support tickets, or subtle review patterns.

Most companies miss it.

But not Farlinium clients, because we help them connect the dots before the problem connects with the public.

Turning Signals Into Strategy

At Farlinium, we build intelligent experience ecosystems using Qualtrics XM technology, so our clients don’t just collect feedback, they know what to do with it. By unifying surveys, support interactions, social reviews, and operational data into one continuous feedback loop, we help brands detect and act on early signals with confidence.

Preventing a Product Crisis Before It Happens

The Company

Meet “FarliniTech,” a representative of a Farlinium client. They’re an innovative audio tech brand, fresh off the launch of their flagship device: the FarliniTech Pro. Early feedback was glowing, sleek design, rich sound, and five-star reviews.

But small issues, left unchecked, can turn wins into losses.

The Signals

Weeks after launch, faint signs of trouble appeared: a few customers mentioned crackling during calls. Nothing urgent, just a handful of lightly worded survey notes, scattered reviews, and isolated support tickets.

Easy to miss.

But not with Qualtrics XM Technology, implemented by Farlinium.

We had already:

• Integrated FarliniTech’s survey, review, and support feedback into a centralized system
• Applied AI and Unstructured Analytics to surface sentiment and anomalies
• Configured role-based dashboards to highlight emerging patterns in real time

The result? FarliniTech saw the signal before it became noise, and traced the pattern to hotter regions.

The Root Cause

Their CX team, trained through Farlinium’s enablement program, raised the flag. Engineering traced it to a heat-sensitive adhesive used in manufacturing, one that compromised internal components in high temperatures.

Without early detection, this could have led to product-wide failure, negative press, and reputational damage.

Instead, Farlinium’s system caught it in time.

The Response

Guided by our team, FarliniTech acted quickly:

• Switched to a heat-resistant adhesive
• Issued a firmware update to improve audio processing
• Proactively notified customers with a clear explanation, free replacements, and a sincere apology

The results:

• No viral backlash
• Lower long-term costs
• Stronger customer trust
• A more resilient brand

What This Means for You

This scenario mirrors what we do for clients every day. It’s not about reacting faster, it’s about designing systems that prevent escalation in the first place.

• Build integrated experience ecosystems tailored to your goals
• Configure Qualtrics to surface insights, not just data
