Customer Story
Major Grocery Retailer: Semantic Intelligence in Action
Retail · Loyalty Analytics · 100+ Data Sources · 28 Divisions
A leading U.S. grocery retailer operating thousands of stores across more than 30 states faced a growing analytics challenge. Customer data was spread across 100+ sources including POS, e-commerce, loyalty, and store operations. Analytics were siloed across 28 divisions, with over 1,000 customer attributes carrying inconsistent definitions. Marketing campaigns required days to prepare, and AI initiatives struggled without a consistent foundation of business meaning.
By implementing Coginiti, the retailer established a unified semantic layer across its entire data ecosystem. Key business concepts — customers, transactions, products, stores, and promotions — were defined once and made reusable across analytics, applications, and AI systems. The result: campaign launches in hours instead of days, consistent insights across every division, and a trusted foundation for AI-powered personalization, forecasting, and operational decision-making.
