Today, things are different
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increased competition
Cost cutting pressures
Supply chain achieved its limit
Little (mostly cost driven) differentiation
Tesco is setting new standards
• segmentation
• value delivery
• supply chain management
Can we do what Tesco does?
• How much will this cost?
• Tesco invested millions of pounds over the years in their solution!
Actually, very few retailers achieved it
The secret to success is hidden in the data
• understanding, differentiation, exploitation, and interaction with customer
Customers in the 21st Century
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Very different
Want attention
In power – listen, do not push
Multi-channel and multi-media
Cautious on private data
Like to play
Like to share with others
Seeking true value (retailer and supplier cooperation)
Customer demand translated into retail processes:
• Category management
• Store design, Online experience
• Customer services
Customer wants VALUE!
A typical scenario in today‘s specialized retail
•
•
•
•
•
•
20 outlets,
Time limited supplier financed leaflet actions driven by seasonality or inventory
priorities
Plastic customer card issued -> discount provided
Basic customer data stored at POS level, basket data available (in raw form)
Brand website available including e-shop, newsletter sent, 30% of customers with
electronic contacts (email, mobile)
Why it is not bringing the desired results?
Retailer in the blind
•
•
•
•
•
•
The initiative in place does not address many of the points that such a system should
address
Non existing, or limited tracking of customers behavior across all selling and
interaction platforms resulting in
Potential mismatch between
• general pricing level and customer’s wallet
• actual customer demand and store ambience and atmosphere
Weak inventory forecasting
• WHICH assortment to stock?
• HOW MUCH of that assortment to stock? .
In case of promotions, little ability to predict results
Either low or high response rates resulting in stock inefficiencies and poor cash flow
management
Retailer in the defensive
•
In today’s environment of the financial crisis, retailers tend to assemble at the lowest
common denominator, which is PRICING POLITICS
•
Often unneeded discounts are given to customers who come to the shop because of
other reasons
•
The alternative is to really work on having a better understanding on our customers
behavior, likes and dislikes
Why Pareto is Crucial to your Business?
