The Challenge

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company faced complex decisions regarding store closures and branch reconfiguration. It needed reliable insights to estimate the impact of each decision, predict potential customer and revenue loss, identify the most effective mitigation strategies, and prioritize the retention of its highest-value customers.

The Solution

We designed a predictive analytics solution based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, integrating historical customer data into a centralized data platform to develop models capable of predicting customer behavior in response to store closures. We also incorporated geospatial visualizations to simulate different scenarios and developed personalized offers based on each customer's purchase history and value.
