Tesco uses data for more than just loyalty cards

Tesco uses data for more than just loyalty cards

By Paul Miller on October 3, 2012

Tesco. Poster-child of the data-driven retail experience, thanks to its loyalty card and early work with DunnHumby. But Tom Hebbert didn’t talk about that. Instead, he focused on their supply chain work. Rough notes from the session follow. Big Data projects deliver huge returns at Tesco; improving promotions to ensure 30% fewer gaps on shelves, […]

Poor Retail

By Dave Michels on October 20, 2011

SaaS, or Shopping as a Service is killing retail. If there was one investment or model that I would have considered safe forever – say 20 years ago, it would be retail. If I had, I was sure wrong. The Internet and sales tax laws are conspiring to make retail a thing of the past. […]

By Dan Morrill on March 3, 2010

By Dan Morrill on September 20, 2009

The New York Times and Techflash are leading news this morning about Amazon and how it looks like it will become the Wal-Mart of the internet. The question is, is anyone ready to follow or take on Amazon on its own turf. All ecommerce companies should be looking at what Amazon is doing right now […]

Amazon, the World’s Default Shopping Destination (or is it Zamazon now?)

Amazon, the World’s Default Shopping Destination (or is it Zamazon now?)

By Zoli Erdos on July 22, 2009

Recently I wrote about PaaS by Amazon – an no, as much as we like thinking of Amazon as the the key Cloud Computing infrastructure provider, it wasn’t about Platform as a Service.  It was about Pasta as a Service.  Yes, I am buying Al Dente Carba-Nada as a subscription. After all, before it become […]

Amazon’s PaaS, TaaS and GaaS

By Zoli Erdos on May 27, 2009

If you think this is yet-another post on Platform as a Service, you’re wrong.  I leave all that complicated stuff to The Brain.  I’ll be talking about much simpler things here: PaaS – Pasta as a Service TaaS – Tea as a Service GaaS – Groceries as a Service No kidding.  Well, maybe a bit, […]

The $199 Palm Pre that’s Really $299 for Some

By Zoli Erdos on May 19, 2009

…And I am not even talking about TCO, calculating life-time cost with subscription.  No, just plain simply purchase price, with a dirty industry trick: rebates. The long expected Palm Pre will be available from Spring on Jun 6th, at $199 with qualifying data plan, and after a $100 rebate.   And therein lies the rub – […]

The consumer world is awash in information, a subject mentioned all around the place. Lifestreaming seeks to manage the data stream faced by consumers but what about the mountain of information that business users face? There is a real market for solutions that do the hard work on business data and serve up nice, easily […]
