The report, authored by POI Partner, Dale Hagemeyer, leverages his over 30 years of experience in applied technology in the consumer goods industry, including 15 years as Research Vice President and Managing Vice President at Gartner, and in management positions at PepsiCo, Sunbeam Corporation, Kraft Foods, The Quaker Oats Company and Kroger. The report highlights StayinFront’s strong analytics capabilities, citing the acquisition and integration of 20:20 Retail Data Insight for enabling deeper analytics and insights, with the ability to drive actions down to the store level.
According to Hagemeyer, “This is a huge move for StayinFront as it builds upon a strong analytical product and takes the StayinFront Insight product to higher levels, from the user device all the way back through the optional insight data warehouse with predictive lost sales, comparisons to similar stores nearby, and contextualized, fact-based selling through the PitchBook module.” Hagemeyer continued, “The addition of correlative relationships in causality will make it even more powerful.”
Other key differentiators noted include StayinFront’s early adoption and broad assortment of “sell more” capabilities, and its demonstrated ability to handle and support thousands of users across multiple geographies with a single solution.
