The importance of entering this new dimension has increased since the traditional competitive levers: price, promotions, location and assortment are becoming commodities.
Being able to extract from this mass of data as much information as possible about your customers, your market, the products themselves, is of fundamental importance for both brands and retailers to guide future decisions in the most efficient and effective way, maximizing results and reducing the costs of the various marketing strategies and commercial actions.
