Meijer Deploys Marketing Solution to Tailor and Deliver Digital Promos
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Meijer, a family-owned chain of 177 superstores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky, last week deployed a new marketing tool to optimizes delivery of individualized promotional offers to its customers.
Provided by NCR Corporation and Teradata, a division of NCR, the Enterprise Offer Management solution includes NCR's Copient Logix software and Teradata Customer Relationship Management (CRM), an analytical software portfolio.
"Meijer wants to continuously improve its relationship with our customers, and we increasingly look for technology to help with that process," said Meijer director of retail systems Elmer Robinson. "Enterprise Offer Management greatly enhances our ability to manage the promotional offers that we extend to shoppers at the checkout and, potentially, at other touchpoints in the future. It provides a 'closed loop' solution, from data warehousing to campaign management, to offer optimization, to content management to multichannel execution."
Enterprise Offer Management is designed to deliver cost savings, increase revenue and margins, and improve the shopping experience, said NCR. Its key software components are:
- Teradata CRM: Analyzes the needs and preferences of different customer groups and automates the delivery of personalized communications through the best channel.
- Teradata Offer Optimizer: Automates the process of matching hundreds of products or offers to millions of customers, based on business rules.
- NCR's Copient Logix: Manages offer distribution at retail touchpoints, such as point-of-sale (POS) workstations, kiosks, fuel pumps, Web sites, or e-mail - in real time.
- An open POS application with consumer marketing functionality.
"We did not have to worry about stitching together multiple products to deploy an end-to-end solution," Robinson said. "NCR ACS, with the Consumer Marketing module, was already in place chainwide, driving our POS operations. The other components of our Enterprise Offer Management solution - Teradata CRM, Teradata Offer Optimizer and Copient Logix - were proven and integrated, enabling us to readily implement and launch an effective promotional management program."
Established in 1934 and based in Grand Rapids, Mich., Meijer operates 177 family-owned superstores.
