Data Driven Decision Support for Retailers

PredictRetail uses data science, predictive modeling and machine learning techniques to convert raw data into actionable insights and business value.
Modern retail operations are powered by a variety of software and IT solutions producing large volumes of raw data. Converting this raw data into business value and improved customer experiences requires specialist skills and an understanding of the retail domain and business processes.
Data science gives sales and marketing teams the ability to understand their audience on a very granular level. With this knowledge, an organization can create the best possible customer experiences. A variety of data modeling techniques and algorithms are applied to extract insight, provide decision support and improve overall profitability. The most effective approach is dictated by the Velocity, Variety and Volume of data available for processing, and there is rarely a “one size fits all” approach

Model development

The data modeling process goes through multiple phases, each phase refines the data further to ensure data is clean and well structured. Given that data is the fuel that powers machine learning and predictive modeling, you could say that data quality is the most important ingredient in any advanced analytics project. Data must be cleaned, merged and preprocessed, relevant features extracted and/or created and only then the process of training and evaluating models can begin.
Once the model is evaluated and deployed, applications and business processes are connected to begin extracting value. The value extraction process typically generates new sources of data which is fed back into the model to improve the efficiency and accuracy on an ongoing basis
Our development and integration teams will plug the models into your existing systems and business processes to minimise change management. Or alternatively, we will deploy application such as Mautic to give your teams the power to action the insights and convert it into tangible business value.
