Big Data and Advanced Analytics

Big data and advanced analytics

As we seek to become more innovative and customer-centric, we are leveraging our data and investing in advanced analytic tools to identify and capture value creation and improve our service and operations.

In Nigeria, where trade is very fragmented, advanced analytics have given us the ability to segment our outlets to the same degree we had previously achieved in our other markets. This allows us to have different activations for different outlet segments, addressing different drinking occasions. In Lagos, for example, we were able to target the Easter occasion in outlets near major churches, with additional premium products in more affluent areas.

We aim to build and sustain this critical capability as a long-term competitive advantage.

Data and advanced analytics techniques are also supporting our segmented execution model, providing suggested activities to our sales force, including recommended orders with specific products and quantities to minimise out-of-stock incidents.
