Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a system and method for the system and method for modeling demand by consumer segments. In some embodiments a segment data organizer may receive transaction data. Transaction data may include transaction logs (T logs) from point of sales records from a retailer. These transaction logs, for the most part, include identification information for each transaction. The segment data organizer may also receive customer identification data which includes groupings of customers by consumer segments. The identification information within the transaction logs may be cross referenced by the customer identification data in order to generate groupings of transactions belonging to consumers in each segment. The organizer may then also aggregate the transaction logs by location, time series and product. The aggregated data may be supplied to an econometric engine capable of generating elasticity coefficients for each set of aggregate data. These coefficients may be stored or utilized to generate optimized pricing, lifts, and demand models.
