How Retailers Use Sigma

Product affinity and market basket analysis

Are delays caused by data silos and scalability issues causing you to miss out on timely trends or abandoned cart opportunities? With Sigma, you can leverage the compute power and scalability of the cloud to analyze real-time checkout data during peak seasons like the holidays. Combine your PoS data with online transaction, product information, clickstream, loyalty program, and omni-channel customer data to uncover cross-selling opportunities and better target in-store and online marketing.

Product mix and placement

Nailing the right mix of products has a big impact on sales as well as helps maximize profit and capacity. But margins, rate of sale, returns, and other factors can all affect the amount of revenue each item drives. With Sigma, retailers dig into overall sales by product line to examine performance by particular SKUs, splice that data further by region, zoom in on customer preferences and purchase behaviors, and more. Optimize product mix and placement and increase revenue through iterative analysis!

Recommendation optimization

A well-tuned recommendation engine can generate huge profits. But every person is unique, and building a meaningful picture of each customer and what fuels relevant recommendations at scale is extremely difficult. Sigma makes it possible to examine every customer touchpoint so you can develop recommendation rules by funnel stage and other key factors. Empower your merchandising teams to explore both owned and third-party data with Sigma to better tailor product recommendations.
