Look deeper at the levers that drive your success with Retailer Premium

Keeping a pulse on what's happening in your store is the first step to leveraging analytics to grow your business. To empower your store with a holistic view, you need tools that help you understand customer purchasing habits. What is selling is only the part of the puzzle. You have to uncover the who and when behind those sales to plan better promotions, optimize your inventory, and increase your store's average basket size.

Our Retailer Premium solution helps you do just that. We've specifically built it to empower you to learn more about your store's customers and improve the way you plan for their purchasing trends. The four new modules give you full visibility into your store's revenue drivers so you can identify strategies to stay ahead of customers and ensure you're giving them what they want, when they want it.

Analyze the levers that drive your total revenue with the same real-time functionality and dashboards you get in our Retailer Pulse subscription. The four new modules you get in Retailer Premium will enable you to do more with your store data and really dig into what's happening so you have answers when you need them. Read on to learn more about the insights you'll have access to in our premium retail offering or get started with a demo today.

Four new modules

Each of these modules is designed to help you peel back the layers and stay ahead of all the different shoppers that come into your store. You'll find a variety of dashboards within each module to help you make decisions and answer questions critical questions.

Basket Analysis

Identify what’s in the basket and how to grow your store's average basket size. In this module, we break sales down into the two major components: (1) total number of baskets and (2) average basket size.  There are only two ways you can grow your store's revenues, either increase the number of baskets or increase the average size of a basket. This module gives you the ability to examine these sales trends and decide how to best build a revenue growth strategy.

Questions you can answer with this module:

  • Which products are sold together?
  • How many transactions did my store have and what was the average size of basket?
  • Are baskets that contain Flower larger than baskets that contain Vapor Pens?
  • Do people that often buy Brand X also buy Brand Y often?
  • What % of baskets contain an Edible?  
  • If an Edible is an a basket what else is usually in there too?
