Market Challenge:
To target deals based on the geographical locations of stores, the aftermarket giant wanted to understand
customer purchase decisions and preferences.
Solution
AutoZone used NuoDB’s cloud-based data
management system and was able to adjust its
inventory across stores based on information from
various databases, e.g., the type of cars driven by
people living around these stores.
Partnerships to work on in-store digital signs to
display promotions and to package dynamically.
Impact
AutoZone achieved high-volume retail
transactions based on geographical location and
user preferences.
AutoZone’s major achievement is that it has created
a store capacity with related inventory such that
the probability of a customer walking out of the store
empty-handed is very low.
Recommendation: Frost & Sullivan believes that by incorporating customer analytics, retailers/dealers will be able to study and understand customer purchasing habits; this will enable the building of newer retail chains/dealer points and ensure higher rates of returning customers.
