Verticals
Markets for ISS
ISS is organized around market verticals. Our teams
specialize in specific business problems within specific verticals,
allowing us to partner with our clients to solve business problems
using sophisticated strategies tuned to the details of that area
of specialty…
Our
areas of specialization include vertical markets in several sectors,
including:
Disintermediated markets, These are markets where the manufacturer
does not interact with the consumer directly, yet a fundamental
understanding of the market, the trends, the moods, and the changing
consumer tastes and preferences are fundamental to competitive
success. Our customers in this area of specialty are large manufacturers
who sell products through a large network of dealers or distributors.
In addition to automobile manufacturers, this segment includes
software manufacturers, electronic games, consumer electronic
device manufacturers, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) producers.
We have built solutions in this
segment to perform:
• Market demand forecasting, down to “micro-market”
segmentation and forecasting of sales, loyalty rates, and market
share forecasting.
• Incentive effectiveness analysis, tracking , scoring of
special marketing investment such as rebates, financing offers,
and other incentives to dealers, agents, or distributors.
• Market segmentation and precise targeting to the segment
and the individual as appropriate.
• Optimizing on-line interaction systems, tracking and understanding
the on-line consumer behavior to predict market trends off-line.
• Sales prediction by individual item model tailored to
each individual “micro-market” and accounting for
general market trend information including a modeling of changing
consumer trends.
