A personalization platform combining loyalty data, local competition and category dynamics — adding 1.8 points of gross margin on pilot categories.

01

Challenge

  • National-level assortment, poorly adapted to local socio-demographic specificities.
  • Uniform pricing strategy generating margin loss on low-competition zones and share loss on competitive ones.
  • Underused customer data (loyalty, basket) siloed between marketing, category management and operations.
  • No unified tool for category managers — work was done in Excel.
02

Solution

  • Customer Data Platform unifying loyalty, basket, web/app navigation and geomarketing data.
  • Store × category clustering identifying 14 catchment-area archetypes.
  • Bayesian price-elasticity engine recommending prices by SKU × store under margin and price-image constraints.
  • Self-service app for category managers — simulation, validation and deployment to checkout system.
03
