Chicago, Illinois and Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) June 08, 2017 -- dunnhumby, a leading customer science company, and Aptaris, an enterprise marketing and promotions management innovator, today announce they have reached an agreement with Weis Markets, Inc. to provide the company with their integrated enterprise promotional planning, price optimization, modelling and forecasting system.
The integrated solution from dunnhumby and Aptaris was selected by Weis Markets to help the Mid-Atlantic food retailer increase sales, improve customer loyalty and build a more profitable and competitive market position across its 204 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia, and Delaware.
“We strive to deliver an exceptional shopping experience by offering a strong combination of value, service and variety,” said Richard Gunn, Senior Vice President of Merchandising and Marketing at Weis Markets. “The dunnhumby-Aptaris promotional solution will help us to better align and deliver meaningful promotional plans and activity for our customers, across all of our markets. We see this as a critical component to help bring our customer’s voice into the entire promotional process, from our initial interaction with our suppliers, to the finished weekly circular.”
Delivering an end-to-end platform, dunnhumby customer science and advanced promotional modelling and forecasting capabilities are embedded within the Aptaris enterprise promotional management solution. Beginning with the initial product deal submission from suppliers through the Aptaris Vendor portal, dunnhumby powers Weis Markets’ ability to model and forecast the effects of promotions - on sales and profit - as well as the influence on customer shopping behaviours down to the individual shopper.

Activating these insights within the system, Weis Markets now has the ability to create promotional events, including their weekly circular ads, with a 360 degree view of the impact on individual category plans across every store, their customers and their baskets – in real-time.
“We are excited about our transformative work with Weis Markets and the ability to help them better serve their shoppers’ needs,” said Ted Eichten, Price & Promotion Capability Director, North America for dunnhumby. “By integrating dunnhumby customer-science modelling capabilities within Aptaris, the entire promotional planning process is reimagined.
