Center for Shared Business Intelligence:

LNCI’s industry-leading Business Intelligence (BI) division is the nerve center and catalyst behind the company’s data-driven strategies and optimization efforts. Staffed with more than 600 multi-disciplined experts, our BI teams work one-on-one with consumer goods manufacturers and retailers to generate insights that make a measurable difference.

Retail Analytics – LNCI taps into a wealth of data resources, as well as its own shopper community, to glean localized insights specific to consumer audiences, brand category, channel and more. Through additional research, advanced predictive modeling and in-depth analysis, the company can clearly identify sales, distribution and share-growth opportunities for clients.

Strategic Planning – Incorporating data-driven insights into thoughtfully designed phases of execution, LNCI’s strategic advisors collaborate with clients to proactively drive national priorities as well as manage local execution — aligning client and retailer strategies to maximize outcomes.

Optimization – Leveraging innovative technologies, LNCI analyzes ongoing activities to identify paths to improving category or space management, reducing out-of-stocks, ensuring ideal placement and optimizing every inch of in-store space.

Equally important, clients gain visibility into the value of LNCI’s data-driven efforts through a web-based dashboard. Fully automated with point-and-click capabilities, the dashboard includes valuable insights such as sales decomposition, account rankings, product velocity and distribution analysis.

Retail Services:

LNCI’s retail teams are focused on bringing our clients’ sales plans to life in-store each and every day. We are keenly focused on maximizing client ROI by understanding which stores to go to and what activities to execute. Our rich retail experience enables us to collaborate with our clients to design customized retail solutions that meet the unique needs of their business.

The company’s nearly 20,000 retail associates are in stores every day, averaging 200,000 outlet visits every month. Each in-store associate is armed with advanced mobile technology that uses daily point-of-sale data to track, analyze and optimize in-store activities, establishing automation for a variety of complex processes while capturing critical information to drive faster, more effective results. Whether increasing speed-to-shelf of new products, gaining greater distribution of current products or ensuring correct out-of-stocks and voids, LNCI’s in-store team makes the company’s retail merchandising what it is — powerful.

LNCI’s Retail Services division focuses on three key areas:

  1. Continuity Services – LNCI ensures clients’ products have maximum visibility by optimizing sales displays, assisting with product rotation and placement, introducing new items, and ensuring accurate voids and out-of-stock corrections.
