LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Supermarkets face many challenges, such as maintaining optimal inventory levels and obtaining customer loyalty in an industry where price competition is fierce and profit margins are razor thin. Because of this, many stores are taking advantage of big data analytics to gain an edge over the competition.
In a blog titled What Big Data Can do for Supermarkets, global analytics and advisory firm Quantzig evaluates some of the ways supermarkets are using big data to manage their inventory and customers.
Quantzig notes that analytics can “determine how quickly promoted products leave the shelf and predict when they will need to be restocked, resulting in fewer empty shelves and dissatisfied customers. This analysis can even be done while a sale is currently in progress: by analyzing the first several hours of sales, it is possible to get a stronger idea of how those items are moving, allowing you to more accurately predict necessary stock levels.”
In terms of customer loyalty, “If a customer buys a long-lasting product like peanut butter or bathroom cleaner, sending them a promotion for that item next week will be useless. Analytics makes it possible to determine how frequently a customer buys a particular product, and then offer them a deal for it around the time they will be wanting to purchase it again.”
