RetailWATCH: Capitalizing on the power of big data for retail

With a wealth of information readily available online, consumers are now better able to compare products, services and prices – even as they shop in physical stores. When consumers interact with retailers publically through social media, they have greater power to influence other customers or damage a brand. These and other changes in the retail industry are creating important opportunities for retailers.

To capitalize on those opportunities, retailers need ways to collect, manage and analyze a tremendous volume, variety and velocity of data.

– Optimizing assortment and merchandising decisions.
– Removing inefficiencies in distribution and operations.
