Learn the what, when, where, and why of customer purchase behavior

Discover the Factors that Drive Significant Customer Transactions and Then Act to Predict and Multiply Them

Teradata® CRM Pattern Detection is similar to a market basket analysis but performed over time with a panoramic view of purchase patterns which can help predict future customer behavior. Like a market basket analysis, this module helps to identify common product purchase combinations. However, the marketer’s insight and control are expanded with Pattern Detection because of its ability to evaluate a product purchase at a single point in time, examining patterns of activity leading up to the purchase, and activity that follows it.

The primary benefit of Teradata CRM Pattern Detection is the ability to find a predictive path leading up to a purchase or equally important insight, resulting in better understanding of a customer’s modified behavior because of that purchase. For example, a marketing analyst might learn what leads to a customer’s purchase of a specific hand tool. Is it the result of previously purchased accessories prior to the hand tool purchase, or is it driven by some other cause, like a promotion or other purchase? Likewise, marketers can learn from customer behavior after the purchase of the hand tool to guide future customers in the same situation through the lifecycle. With the insights gained from Pattern Detection, your chances of predicting and shaping your customer’s future purchases are enhanced. What’s the next most likely purchase in this customer’s behavior pattern? Find out fast with Teradata CRM Pattern Detection.
