CE Retail Reimagined: Data driven evolution

Participate in our survey

In today’s rapidly evolving retail landscape, data has become one of the most valuable assets for businesses. Retailers, both large and small, increasingly rely on data to gain insights, improve customer experiences, and drive operational efficiency. The ability to effectively collect, manage, analyze, and leverage data to generate business value—commonly referred to as data maturity—has become a defining factor in determining a retailer’s success. 

At its core, data allows retailers to understand customer behavior, track inventory, forecast demand, and optimize supply chains, among many other functions. More mature data systems enable retailers to make data-driven decisions that lead to measurable performance improvements. For example, by analyzing customer preferences, retailers can personalize offers and recommendations, increasing both customer satisfaction and loyalty. This personalized approach helps businesses remain competitive and adapt to shifting consumer trends.

When it comes to core operations, such as Supply Chain, data enables better inventory management, minimizing stockouts and overstocking, which leads to reduced waste and improved margins. Furthermore, advanced data analytics help identify new revenue streams such as retail media services, targeted marketing, and business-to-business (B2B) solutions. 

From a financial perspective, the benefits of data readiness are substantial. Retailers with high data maturity often experience greater profitability due to their ability to streamline operations and optimize costs.  Additionally, data-driven decision-making supports digital transformation initiatives, which have been shown to enhance financial outcomes such as revenue growth, cost efficiency, and overall profitability. 

As the industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the importance of having a strong data infrastructure and digital culture will only grow. Solid data strategy and governance framework, with dedicated resources and a team of experts, will play a critical role in differentiating leaders from followers of the retail world. For retailers aiming to remain competitive and financially resilient, data readiness is no longer optional—it is essential. The financial benefits of data readiness, from cost savings to revenue generation, make it a critical component of modern retail strategies. 

Therefore, we invite you to participate in our Retail Reimagined: Data driven evolution in Central Europe survey, designed to assess how retailers utilize their data for business growth and digital transformation. Your insights will contribute to a comprehensive study that benchmarks industry trends and uncovers new opportunities for retailers like you.

By participating, you will gain a clear view of where your organization stands in comparison to other retailers across Central Europe, and gain strategic insights for identifying trends, gaps, and opportunities to enhance your data strategies and drive data-driven decision-making.
