TEST & LEARN® PRODUCT OFFERING

Test & Learn® platform

Make decisions with confidence by using our multi-patented analytics platform.
How it works

Test, analyze, optimize

Whether it’s a store remodel or a loyalty offer, Test & Learn® empowers business leaders to improve new and existing initiatives by designing and analyzing in-market business experiments.

By using our analytics platform, businesses can understand the overall incremental impact of an initiative, the most effective aspects of the initiative, the types of customers or markets that respond best, and how to target rollout to maximize ROI.

 

BENEFITS

Features


Given the nuances between customer and site level data, the platform includes two test and learn methodologies to provide the most accurate analyses. For both methodologies, our testing software accurately measures an initiative’s impact by conducting a small-scale, in-market experiment using a well-matched test and control group. Learn more about the software below.
