Shoprite CEO Pieter Engelbrecht said: “We continue to innovate and use new technology to meet consumer expectations and over the last eight years, dunnhumby has worked alongside us to ensure that we in the African market benefit from world-class data science and personalisation.
“This enables us to deliver the best possible shopping experiences for our customers.”
Last month, ShopRite’s parent company, Wakefern Food, chose dunnhumby as its strategic platform to power category management and merchandising.
Wakefern will be able to use dunnhumby’s customer data models, consumer-led insights and collaboration, as well as making merchandising decisions to improve the shopping experience across its 363 supermarkets, including almost 280 ShopRite stores.
dunnhumby’s technology will build upon Wakefern’s existing and developed merchandising and data analytic capabilities and involve customers directly in the decision-making process.
