When customer traffic is up, brand value is on the
rise, according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant
Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®. Garnering incremental customer insights from outside
eyes is a great way for retailers to focus on consumer touchpoints that drive
transactions, top-line sales and bottom-line profits
In
a continuous search to drive customer relevance and thus new electricity into Casey's
General Stores customer base they tapped Engage3 for solutions for a
partnership that will expand visibility to market information and improved
efficiency.
So, in addition to
utilizing Engage3's cloud-based visualization and insights, Casey's will
leverage the company's suite of mobile applications, including CIM:
MissionScanner. The solution is currently in use at six of the 10 largest
retailers in North America and provides a comprehensive view of market data to
retailers to drive incremental relevance.
According to Johnson, “Brand relevance is
in part driven with innovation in new menu related products in combination with
new avenues of distribution all of which are the platform for the new
electricity.”
Johnson stated “that in my minds-eye the
new electricity must be very efficient for the supply and includes such things
as fresh foods, music, developing brands, unique urban hemp clothing,
grocerant positioning, fresh food messaging, autonomous delivery,
cashier-less retail, plates, glasses, cash-less payments, digital hand-held
marketing.
Keith Day, retail
pricing and analytics manager at Casey's, stated, "The mobile capability
provides us flexibility and the data seamlessly integrates into our system,
Engage3 was founded
by the creators of KhiMetrics (acquired by SAP), who are credited with
inventing the retail price optimization space. Its leadership team is composed
of former KhiMetrics, SAP, Revionics, dunnhumby, KSS Retail, IBM/DemandTec and
Nielsen executives.
Engage3 CEO Edris
