Engagement Creates the Industry’s Most Comprehensive Pricing Intelligence Platform
Engage3 today announced their inclusion in to Nielsen’s Connected Partner Program. Through this engagement, data assets from both companies will have the opportunity to combine, creating an integrated competitor price monitoring and execution platform. The combination of Engage3’s Competitive Intelligence Platform and Nielsen’s rich retail measurement data gives retailers and brands the ability to identify, quantify, and prioritize specific competitor activity and how to best react.
“Engage3 and Nielsen both bring unique data assets about competitive pricing activity that provide insights into the marketplace landscape for a retailer,” said Ken Ouimet, CEO of Engage3. “By combining these assets, a retailer will better understand not only their competitors’ activities, but also the financial relevance of competitive price investments and differentiated assortments. They can then decide on what their best countermoves should be.”
Engage3 helps companies compete more intelligently in dynamic and hyper localized markets with store-specific competitive pricing and assortment insights. Engage3’s omni-channel Competitive Intelligence Platform (CIP) is an integrated end-to-end solution that uses data science to ensure data quality. CIP 1) enables retailers to automate the management and optimize the design of their competitive shop program, 2) uses demand-side product attributes to link “Like” competitor products, 3) reverse-engineers and monitors competitors’ pricing strategies, and 4) visually displays these insights via web-based reporting that is integrated with Nielsen’s own reporting portal.
The two companies are already serving several joint customers. “We are excited to bring an even deeper understanding of the competitive landscape to retailers and brands,” said Rob Culin, Senior VP of Personalization and Business Development at Engage3. “As a Nielsen Connected Partner, we can provide the most comprehensive level of visibility and understanding of competitor activity within any given market. We look forward to creating new levels of value for mutual customers we serve.”
