Unique Modeling Approach

Commercial Analytics incorporates every business driver to represent the full picture of how customers learn about your brand, research, and purchase. It incorporates a wide array of internal and external factors (such as media, retail partners, sales, operations, competitive, category demand, and more) to analyze the entire business. It also helps identify trends and gaps beyond just marketing, enabling organizations to evaluate all commercial levers to pivot growth strategies.
Adaptive and Connected Multi-Dimensional Models
Commercial Analytics leverages a combination of data codification and augmented analytics (statistical models and ML/AI) to discover relationships and trends across KPIs, regions, platforms, and customer segments. It blends multiple analytical approaches to create a single source of truth to predict future behavior, so brands can optimize plans and investments. It creates a single source of truth of marketing's eectiveness and business growth, removing the need for disparate, disconnected measurement solutions.
Future-proofed and Privacy-Safe
With the rise of privacy laws and data deprecation, commercial analytics is future-proofed because it doesn't require user-level data. It uses a multidimensional structure which includes customer cohorts and is flexible based on brands' unique business objectives to provide both strategic and tactical insights. Plus, analyses that were once labor-intensive (such as variable transformation and model fine-tuning) are scaled through our end-to-end platform, GPS-E, and our marketing science experts to deliver faster results for brands.
