The goal was to make promotions timely and relevant for real shoppers, lift engagement and redemption rates across regions, reduce wasted campaigns by tightening the path from offer to checkout, and prove outcomes with clear reporting so teams could learn and optimize quickly.
Challenges
The retail brand had scale and a live stack, yet performance stalled because the engine was not learning from behavior. Campaigns were broad, audiences were not consistently segmented, and redemptions lagged even when traffic was high. The handoff from offer to checkout was clunky in a few markets, which meant interest leaked before purchase. Data lived in pockets, so teams could not see a single view of the customer or trigger the next best action at the right time.
Without a customer analytics platform to unify profiles and journeys, and without dependable data analytics solutions feeding insights back into planning, creative relied on guesswork. Production timelines were slow, testing was limited, and reporting arrived after decisions were already made. The net result was effort without compounding learning.
Solution
Campaigns went from static to situational. Customers received relevant promotions based on their store Knoativ rebuilt the campaign engine around data and action. LyraCX Commerce simplified creation and targeting. Valus Loyalty made rewards dynamic and real time. Together they ran on a predictive analytics platform that learned from journeys and a customer analytics platform that unified profiles. CRM marketing automation and data analytics solutions kept messages timely and measurement clear.
