MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that CadenceQuest, a leader in customer analytics, has embedded MicroStrategy technology into its Customer Insight retail platform for enhanced marketing analysis.
CadenceQuest’s Customer Insight solution is a self-service analytical platform that is used to perform multi-faceted analyses on highly-targeted customer segments, providing in-depth customer behavior information to marketing and merchandising decision makers. MicroStrategy was selected as Customer Insight’s analytical engine because it enables retailers to quickly and accurately analyze vast amounts of transactional data to deliver meaningful information about customers. By using MicroStrategy to run basket- and transaction-level analyses, for example, retailers can readily define who their best customers are, what items within a category they purchase, and what affinity items customers purchase.
“MicroStrategy adds a powerful dimension for retailers that want a refined view of their customers,” said Bob Ghafouri, CEO of CadenceQuest. “With MicroStrategy, it’s faster and easier to develop a more targeted customer outreach strategy. Once you know who your customers are and how they behave, you can confidently send them the right offers and improve their in-store experience.”
“Retailers rely on MicroStrategy’s scalable and flexible platform to analyze transactional data and gain vital intelligence in areas such as customer loyalty, sales trends, inventory management, promotion analysis, and store operations,” said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy COO. “We are delighted to work with CadenceQuest and provide enhanced reporting, visualization, and analytics for their Customer Insight solution.”
