An increasing trend in store-based retailing is getting to know customers better. Key to this is the personalization of sales. This creates a great potential for customer information, such as: purchased articles and preferred price range along with postal and e-mail addresses, telephone number and often birthday.
From these data, valuable knowledge can be generated: What customer relationship is profitable and ensures high margins? How do I reach these customers best? Which articles do they prefer? Customer structure and purchase analyses provide these facts. However, a prerequisite is the ability to combine extensive individual data into useful information and transform it into knowledge. This is exactly where our services excel. Based on advanced data-warehouse technology, we support the analysis of customer behaviour and optimize target group selection, and thus the sales approach.

SALT Solutions offers small to medium-sized retailers lean and scalable solutions for better customer orientation. Our goal is to get to know customers better and derive measures specific to the target group. Our software platform equally supports planning, implementation and monitoring of these measures.
For this solution, Initiative Mittelstand has awarded SALT Solutions the "Innovation Award 2008" in the "CRM" category
Using a prepared ETL process, relevant information, such as POS, customer or socio-demographic data, is extracted from the primary systems (enterprise resource planning, merchandise management system, external data sources), transformed and loaded into the retail CRM. Presentation and analysis of the information is based on Microsoft OLAP technology. From there, specific information, such as addresses for a determined target group, can be exported in different data formats (e.g. XML or CSV) and made available for example for further processing in the context of campaign management.

As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, SALT Solutions implements tailor-made IT solutions based on Microsoft software. We offer individual assistance in all aspects of integration, customization, development and support.
