Advanced Analytics Transformation for a CPG-Focused Market Research Startup

Market Research & Insights (CPG – Consumer Packaged Goods)

25% Reduction in average survey duration

15% Increase in Net Promoter Score (NPS)

Real-Time Analytics replacing batch processing

Analytics dashboard displaying predictive modeling outputs, real-time survey tracking, KPI performance charts, client segmentation insights, and ML-driven recommendations

Project Overview

A Boston-based market research startup serving leading CPG brands such as P&G, Pepsi, Campbell, and Newell sought to unlock greater value from their growing data ecosystem. Despite a strong client base and $10M+ revenue milestone, the company struggled to fully leverage its multi-source datasets for actionable insights. We implemented a structured advanced analytics framework that transitioned their reporting from static batch processing to real-time, AI-driven intelligence.
