Overview
Retail Insights, a growing retail consultancy, wanted to strengthen its data-driven decision-making capabilities to better serve clients. They aimed to leverage analytics to identify market trends, optimize product placement, and improve customer engagement strategies. However, their existing data processes were manual and siloed, limiting their ability to deliver timely, actionable insights.
Challenges
