Top Retail Analytics Trends to Watch For
Analytics for assortment planning: Predictive analytics can be used to identify the demand pattern of products in a particular region, or what combination or placement of products is most successful. By using analytics to gain a better understanding of customer demand, retailers can improve their inventory management and lower costs.
IoT adoption: The retail sector uses technology such as beacons, Wi-Fi, and RFID tags to track products and gather data on customer activity. IoT integration facilitates the collection of a variety of data that companies can analyze to provide greater insight into many facets of their business, such as the popularity of different products.
