Retailers: What Strategic Initiatives Can You Power with Complete Product Data?

On average, retailers are failing to return 92% of qualifying products on their e-commerce sites, meaning for every 10 products that could be returned, today, retailers are only returning one. This gap is due to incomplete, siloed, and poor quality data. With over 200 million shoppers adhering to a diet or health-related eating program and nearly as many indicating food allergies and intolerances affect the way they shop, inaccurate and incomplete data is not only costing retailers billions of dollars, but also damaging shopper trust and loyalty.

Going beyond the information stated on the label through nutritional and ingredient analysis paired with systematic application of regulations and rules leads to the ideal state of data where a consumer can select an attribute or search for a keyword and experience holistic and personalized results capable of answering their every question. This data application improves user satisfaction, inherently helping to increase cart size and customer lifetime value.
