Retail Analytics – A Glance

Retail analytics have come a long way. Now, retailers are empowered to make strategic business decisions based on real information—not just gut instinct. Data analytics has the power of transforming every aspect of a retail business, providing valuable insights for every department from logistics to management, marketing, and sales.

There’s always going to be data-hungry retailers are everywhere. One survey by Alteryx and Retail Wire found that 81% of brands gather shopper insights, and 76% consider insights to be critical to their performance. However, most aren’t really doing anything with the generated data. Only 16% would call themselves experts when it comes to data analysis with 24% and 60%, respectively, being self-described as “newbies” and “getting there.”
