In recent years, Big Data and Machine Learning have become fundamental tools in every aspect for the Retail world.
On average, companies manage 10 times more data than they did five years ago, so the way we analyze and manage that data becomes more important.
Technological innovation has changed the rules of the game when it comes to data analysis and business decision making.
Advanced software systems greatly reduce analysis time, giving companies the ability to make much faster decisions that help increase revenue, reduce costs, and stimulate growth.
Not surprisingly, this offers a competitive advantage to brands that can work faster and target their consumers more effectively.
But what is the main problem? Discover and take advantage of the most relevant information from the large amount of data available in physical stores.

In other words, improve the shopping experience at the point of sale through personalized communication.
How can we get it? Supporting decision-making in the data.
Through the data we can know what our client demands, which is why we must improve our policy for capturing and analyzing information in retail.
Companies have long accumulated huge amounts of data, both from their customers or suppliers as well as from the competition or from their own processes.
Now, how should companies treat information to improve decision-making?
Steps to take better business based on the data:
