Shopper Insights

Understand evolving shopper behavior faster by leveraging data and the power of AI

At modern consumer packaged goods organizations, shopper insights teams are critical to understanding consumers and providing valuable data-driven insights to key stakeholders in sales, marketing, and product development. However, shopper insights teams face the challenge of grappling with the increasing size and complexity of data. Integrating sales data with data from syndicated market research providers and consumer surveys is both technically complex and time-consuming. Many shopper insights teams’ productivity is bottlenecked by overburdened data teams who simply cannot fulfill every request in a timely manner.

Shopper insights teams can drive more value for CPG organizations, and AI-powered analytics can help.

Customer Success Story

A leading food and beverage CPG firm’s SI team—a small team of data scientists—couldn’t keep up with demands for customer analytics from the firm’s 100+ internal brands. SI was bottlenecked by manual exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and ML modeling/tuning in Python/Azure ML. This productivity drag threatened customer retention and sales volume growth goals, forcing brand managers to make critical promotion decisions via heuristics rather than data.

Tellius now enables brand leaders to perform their own ad hoc exploration and analysis; quickly pinpoint customer/brand trends for faster course correction; and augment large parts of the data science team’s manual ML modeling process in an explainable way. Shopper profile models are now generated 10x faster, with a 90% effectiveness rating—powering the brand team’s pricing optimization and targeted promotions and resulting in multimillion-dollar revenue growth and marketing impact. Additionally, the newfound analytics agility/speed has repaired disconnects between SI and brand teams, leading to a virtuous cycle of more business-informed models, higher-quality shopper profiles, and in turn, better targeting and more revenue.
