United Dairy Farmers Scoops Up Analytics, Licenses APT’s Test & Learn® and Market Basket Analyzer Software
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) October 21, 2015 -- Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) announced today that United Dairy Farmers (UDF), a regional convenience retailer that operates nearly 200 stores throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, has decided to license APT’s Test & Learn® for Sites, Test & Learn® for Customers, and Market Basket Analyzer software. UDF joins many leading convenience retailers — including Maverik, Shell, Sunoco, Thorntons, and Wawa—in using APT’s cloud-based software to improve their data-driven decision-making.
During the initial pilot engagement with APT, UDF used APT’s software suite to enhance their marketing initiatives, loyalty program, labor model, and fuel strategy to enhance the customer experience and improve financial performance.
David Lindner, Head of Retail at UDF, said, “APT’s software has accelerated the innovation process at UDF by enabling us to run more in-market tests with less cost across our nearly 200 locations. We have used APT’s Test & Learn for Sites software to design and analyze a number of tests, including understanding the incremental impact of our loyalty program, window signage, adjusting our fuel pricing strategy and more.”
UDF has also decided to license APT Market Basket Analyzer, a fast, flexible software that puts basket-level insights in the hands of decision-makers. Using transaction-level data, APT Market Basket Analyzer produces a wide variety of insights to help target marketing and merchandising initiatives.
On the decision to license APT Market Basket Analyzer, Lindner commented, “Transaction log data contains so many valuable insights, but it can be difficult to access them without the right tools. APT Market Basket Analyzer gave our team the ability to rapidly organize and mine our t-log data to understand which items are high value, what customers purchase with popular items, and more. With these insights, we can make smarter merchandising and marketing decisions that ultimately move the needle on profits.”
Lindner concluded, “Following our pilot engagement with APT, we have only great things to say about APT’s dedicated client services team and powerful analytic platform and we look forward to continuing to drive value by more accurately evaluating and refining each new initiative using APT’s software suite.”
Marek Polonski, Senior Vice President at APT, commented on the relationship, “We are very honored to continue helping UDF institutionalize data-driven decision-making so that they can be confident that they’re making the right decisions for their customers and for their bottom line.”
