To maintain high quality standards and customer satisfaction across various geographic locations and customer segments throughout the acquisition process, Heritage Grocers Group recognized the need to better understand their customer data. With each newly acquired banner came large swaths of point-of-sale (POS) data from various enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems across their portfolio—and, with each banner catering to slightly different clientele and running its own reports with no standardized models or definitions, Heritage Grocers Group recognized the need for a solution that could gather, organize, and analyze vast amounts of POS data across a wide portfolio and ultimately unify their data estate and ability to generate predictive analytics.
Prabash Coswatte, Chief Operating Officer of Heritage Grocers Group, said, “Understanding the unique purchasing preferences of the Texas customer compared to those of Tony’s in Chicago is crucial. The quicker we grasp this, the better we can cater to each community’s needs.”
