Currently operating more than 210 Clubs in 16 states across the country, BJ’s offers meats, organics, beer and wine, liquor, delicatessen, BJ’s Gas, propane and BJ’s Optical.

BJ’s Wholesale Club chief growth officer Lee Delaney said: “Providing the products our members really want at the right prices is critical to our growth strategy.

“First Insight will help BJ’s make efficient operational decisions about product assortments that will benefit both the company and its members."

“First Insight is helping us make sure we have the right products, including seasonal assortments, with the features and prices our members value.”

Using online social engagement tools, First Insight collects real-time preference, pricing and sentiment data on potential product offerings.

The gathered information is subsequently filtered through First Insight’s predictive analytic models to identify which products are in demand and have the potential to meet the needs of the buyers.
