Problem Definition
The task of measuring returns on the marketing mix has
become somewhat more complex as media have
proliferated, and as alternative explanations of marketing
lift have to be ruled out.
Solution
HCL leverages Marketing mix modeling (MMM) to unearth
the driving forces in the marketing environment in order to
stay profitable.
MMM defines the effectiveness of each of the marketing
elements in terms of its contribution to sales-volume,
effectiveness (volume generated by each unit of effort),
efficiency (sales volume generated divided by cost) and
ROI. These learnings are then adopted to adjust
marketing tactics and strategies, optimize the marketing
plan and also to forecast sales while simulating various
scenarios.
It helps an organization's efforts to measure the change in
sales and attribution of the change to various marketing
mix elements such as Trade, TV, FSI, Print amongst
others.
Benefits
Being able to know what investment works for the brands
will potentially save a lot of marketing dollars. Experience
shows by deploying the models, 7-10% of promotion
dollars can be saved or reallocated to more hard working
marketing buckets.

Solution
Business intelligence technology that produces a
predictive score for each customer or prospect hence
targets the most likely prospects of a marketing
campaign. The offers can be based on extrapolating from
past behavior in an ad-hoc manner but a more scientific
way to target would-be customers is to put probability
scores to each customer from a customer base of millions
and choose the most probable ones.

Problem Definition
Objective
Solution
Business enterprises are using more and more of
information technology tools to optimize their supply
chain. One such tool is Pre-pack Optimization which
takes a system-wide perspective in identifying and
reducing cost and thereby enhancing the supply chain
profitability.
HCL has devised an innovative process to address this
issue by treading a middle path between optimization of
'predetermined ratio of sizes combination' and 'pick a
pack' options.
HCL has undertaken broad steps to follow in order to
identify optimum size ratios, framework to quantify
'unnecessary replenishment, calculate percentage of
units sold on clearance, zero in on stores with highest
clearance sales and which had the biggest negative
impact on margins, find ways to reallocate the
unprofitable units to stores that had stock outs, develop
and continuously refine size skew customer look-alike
model(s).
Benefits
?
Pre-pack optimization takes optimization beyond
Solution
Market Basket Analysis unfurls the science that goes
behind why certain products are bought together.
The application of market basket analysis is generally
facilitated by the use of the data mining tools. HCL Analytics
has the expertise to take the regular MBA analysis to the
next level by identifying the most profitable baskets,
differentiate between the natural rules that are inherent to
the stores and patterns induced by promotion, normalize
the effect of store attributes like size, footfalls etc to sales
and margins and compare stores.
Benefits
In retail, affinity analysis can be used for purposes of crossselling and up-selling, in addition to influencing sales
promotions, loyalty programs, store design, and discount
plans.
