ANALYTICS – SOLUTIONS

THE RETAIL INDUSTRY CHALLENGEThe rise of social media, location based marketing, automatic identification and data capture framework and such other technologies are driving consumer behavior and are creating a greater urgency for retailers to address new marketplace realities.

Retailers have the opportunity and the ability to capture more information about their customers than they’ve ever had before, but many are struggling to figure out what that information means. Retailers often ask themselves –“how can I derive game changing insights from this data and execute at the right time?”

OUR SOLUTION

• Driving Loyalty with Customer Engagement• Merchandizing and In-store (Re)Targeting• Accurate Demand Forecasting• Efficient Sales and Operations Planning• Pricing and Revenue Optimization

To gain competitive edge in today’s changing retail landscape and ensure ongoing success, retailers will need to ensure they engage customers with innovative solutions across all channels, create value with emerging media, better forecast market demand and continue to reduce operating costs.

Retargeting on customer’s purchase path:

As usual, sales data doesn’t tell the whole story. For example, a purchase of $120 in a specific category tells us a little about what a consumer was looking for and, maybe, what they do in their life. But it does not tell us what influenced their purchase decision. By utilizing our cutting edge “listen” framework, we carefully collect and analyze the footprints (e.g. NFC interaction data) of this consumer to identify their intent, urgency and sentiment. By fine-tuning individual experiences at the next footprint and thus better connecting emotionally with the customer, we have helped our clients to make relevant interactions and influence shopper purchasing behavior.

NFC-based omni-channel experience:

The most important basis for consumer centric strategies is to understand what drives customer loyalty; and that it goes beyond the normal boundaries of transactional behavior. We enable our clients to deliver differentiated customer experiences, tailored to specific shopper values, needs and intentions. Our NFC-based platform and solutions enable an integrated mobile consumer-brand engagement, encompassing printed media, out-of-home displays, in-store shopper marketing, and item-level packaging. By employing big-data predictive analytics, we unify activities on mobile devices, online stores, and in-store interactions to deliver the Omni-Channel retailing experience.

Multi-axis view of the customer: Our forward-looking best practices augment marketing strategies by profiling consumers on their shopping habits and spending levels, and ensure that our clients are aligned to meet the needs of their highest-value customers. We consolidate their demographic, psychographic and most importantly - their behavioral and preferential data, to create a multi-axis view of the customer. By integrating customer data, we have helped our clients to profile the Retail DNA of their customers and design successful customer engagement strategies.
