“We believe in providing the analytics edge for business users to take every decision across the retail business without being concerned about the underlying technology. We do not expect the retailers to understand data science, because our products innately understand their business. With data governed centrally, anyone can raise a query and get accurate, contextual insights to apply, then and there,” said Atul Jalan, CEO, Manthan.
Gartner in its report suggests that retailers “invest in advanced analytics providers that specialize in retail, with awareness that some of the most innovative solutions may come from small vendors”. With relentless retail focus, Manthan’s portfolio of anaytics products across customer marketing, merchandising, supply chain, digital, social media and online commerce come with pre-built advanced analytics models that allow users to get context aware insights instantly.
This is an era of consumerization of technology where the consumers dictate the terms of engagement. Shoppers now demand more convenience, more consistency, more collaboration, and more personalization. Retailers must be geared to be ahead of shoppers in this battle of technology. And as Atul mentions, “customer behaviour and the way they interact with different touch points is the centre point of all business decisions today. Technology savvy shoppers are setting the rules of engagement. Retailers must respond by building a proactive ecosystem capable of transforming its strategies and models on-demand.”
