Who is the pandemic shopper?

How timely payment data can help retailers understand and prepare for changing customer behaviour.

Every retailer, no matter what their vertical, is asking two questions:

  1. When are my customers coming back?
  2. How will they shop?

When shoppers return will vary greatly as different countries—and different regions—recover economically, medically, and socially at different rates.

But once they do return, how will they shop? More importantly, how do retailers prepare to make the big changes necessary? There will be no broad-spectrum playbook. Each retail sector will need up-to-the-minute data to make the micro-reactions required to survive, and one day thrive, in a post-pandemic world.

Data-driven micro-reactions are key

Interpreting payment data as it happens is going to be a retailer’s secret weapon to understanding the pandemic shopper.

Traditional methods of data analysis are costly and time-consuming, and can be stale by the time the analysis reaches decision makers. Turnkey business intelligence, like the platform created by Acies AI, makes data-driven micro-reactions possible.

  • Want to help ease the online transition in a certain geography as it takes place?
  • How about supporting locations seeing increased foot traffic as governments relax restrictions?
  • What if you could prepare one region for reopening by analyzing retail patterns in another?

Payment providers using Acies AI can offer their customers these features today, creating intelligent reports and trend-monitoring dashboards. These out-of-the-box features equip retail customers to understand, get ahead, and stay ahead of what’s next.

Can your payment provider do that for you?
