Key Points

A global consumer packaged goods company had challenges in mapping its brand performance across 35+ markets in the African region
It was difficult to get a unified view of all the data across various formats; insights from the data were also scattered
The company deployed WNS Brandttitude^TM to deliver a real-time, single source of truth across categories, markets and demographics to build stronger brand strategies

As we know…

A unified view of the data across categories, brands and markets, and the ability to leverage this data give Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies a competitive edge. However, spreadsheets and most Business Intelligence (BI) and visualization tools cannot help analyze complex and disparate data effectively, and lack the predictive analytics capability. Hence, the right analytics platforms that can help process and leverage data efficiently can be a game-changer for businesses.

The challenge for a global CPG company was…

Its African region was a composite of 35+ markets and the company relied on spreadsheets and some traditional BI and visualization tools to glean insights for these markets. But the insights generated were not comprehensive and did not offer a single moment of truth for decision-making. Hence, consolidating the data in different formats and from various sources to generate valuable insights was a tedious and time-consuming activity.

The cost of deploying these tools was also high, as they required heavy investments in IT infrastructure and licensing fees. In short, the data was not serving its purpose of providing leverage to the business.

WNS deployed its proprietary, state-of-the-art, cloud-based analytics platform Brandttitude^TM to provide a one-stop-shop solution to the client’s challenges.

Here’s how we deployed Brandttitude^TM…

The platform executes exploratory data analytics, predictive modeling and self-service analytics to deliver compelling metrics in diverse categories.

Brandttitude^TM was deployed, in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) form, on multiple data sources such as:
