'RDS MD-Navi' provides multifaceted analysis of category structures, brand loyalty, and the impact of new product CMs based on market POS data collected from supermarkets nationwide.
While traditional market POS analysis can reveal 'what sold', it has been difficult to derive 'next steps' such as 'why it sold', 'whether that sales level is sustainable', or 'which category should be strengthened next'.
By visualizing market structures and purchasing trends, 'RDS MD-Navi' supports sales proposals, shelf layout proposals, promotional verification, and marketing strategy planning for food manufacturers and wholesalers.
◆ Key Features
1. Standard SKU Trend Analysis
Visualizes standard SKU composition by category to grasp the progression of 'standardization' and trends between categories.
2. Category Matrix Analysis
Maps each category of food products on two axes: 'Year-on-Year comparison' and 'Market Volume' to analyze growing or focus categories.
3. Brand Loyalty × Variety Seeking Analysis
Indexes each category as 'Brand-supported' or 'Variety-seeking'. Visualizes consumer purchase trends to support sales and shelf strategy.
4. New Product CM Effect Analysis
Multi-faceted analysis of promotional effects by combining CM broadcast data, sales, and retail handling rates to visualize 'why' a product sold.
* CM broadcast data is provided by M-Data Co., Ltd. through their 'TV Metadata'.
◆ Intended Use Cases
- Category proposals to retailers
- Shelf layout and assortment proposals
- Analysis of market response to new products
- Verification of TV CM and promotional effectiveness
- Creation of material for sales and management meetings
