with them and drive a new level of brand loyalty and trust.
“The retail industry is going through a fundamental transformation with the rise of connected devices, social media, location-based awareness and other technologies,” said Jim Welsh, Executive Vice President at Western Digital. “These cross currents provide a wealth of new information retailers can leverage to customize marketing efforts and influence consumer behaviors. There is clearly a significant market need for predictive analytics solutions that enable retailers and marketers to leverage Big Data, better engage with customers and improve the sales and profitability of their businesses.”
Symphony Analytics has developed an advanced analytics technology framework for a leading online shopping comparison network, enabling it to provide real-time recommendations and increase cross-sell and up-sell.
