Real-time customer-engagement, social-media-monitoring and analytics platform Engagor analyzed how the retail giant dealt with an avalanche of complaints on Twitter over stores running out of Lilly for Target merchandise, and founder and CEO Folke Lemaitre offered tips on what should change the next time around.
