Discover who your customers are and how they shop
SMI’s Shopper Journeys data mines your customers to get insights on how purchase decisions are made during the shopping journey and what conditions trigger a customer choice.
By accurately analyzing shopping behavior patterns across zones, you discover valuable information on who your customer are, their interests and opportunities to better engage them.
How Shopper Journeys Works

SMI’s graphical interface shows shopping patterns across zones and paths that end in a purchase. AI algorithms groups customers by the combination of zones and departments which are frequently shopped.

You are now able to engage customers along their purchase path. For example, if family shoppers never visit the organic foods section, you can promote offers when their path intersects that zone.

Set up marketing events that send messages at specific points along the purchase path and that can influence shoppers to shop more zones, resulting in larger baskets and more spend.
