Retail analytics tools and services are growing in every region across the globe; a CAGR of over 20% between 2015-2020 is expected for North America, Asia-Pacific, and EMEA according to Quantzig. In Europe, the UK, France, and Germany are the leading countries for retail analytics. Retail is a massive industry for the EU, contributing over 11% to its total GDP and representing nearly 15% of the region’s total employment.
A large retail chain in Europe recently tasked Quantzig’s analytics experts with developing new market segmentation strategies in order to yield higher returns and profits. The client was not achieving expected returns from their marketing investments using traditional segmentation strategies and although they had access to a vast amount of data, identifying critical parameters for classifying customers for targeted marketing strategies was challenging.
After analyzing the data, research analysts at Quantzig were able to assess the client’s existing strategies to identify gaps and propose an improved scheme for better customer segmentation. Quantzig provided innovative solutions and developed a predictive model for assessment of profitability levels of customers and segmented them accordingly.
