In its most recent earnings report<\/a>, Adobe reported\u00a0record revenue<\/a>, but CEO Shantanu Narayen admitted he was a bit disappointed with the Experience Cloud results. That\u2019s the part of Adobe that includes the Analytics Cloud. Today, the company is announcing an update to the analytics product aimed specifically at the lucrative retail\/ecommerce market. Perhaps it\u2019s not a coincidence.<\/p>\n

Nor is it a coincidence that Adobe took aim at retail for this specialized product. It\u2019s one that\u2019s felt the sting of disruption more acutely than perhaps any other sector in recent years, as competition from Amazon in particular has challenged retailers and forced them to find better ways to understand their customers on and offline.<\/p>\n

As Nate Smith, senior product marketing manager for Adobe Analytics puts it, \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a dramatic shift this year in retail with dozens of bankruptcies and store closings \u2014 and it\u2019s due in large part to how digital is disrupting the industry,\u201d he told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

As successful online retailers get more sophisticated in understanding their customers and delivering a better experience, it results in a corresponding rise in consumer expectations. Proper use of analytics can help even the playing field. \u201cAnalytics plays role in helping the retailer to understand who their customers are, especially who the highest value ones are and how they behave,\u201d Smith explained.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that you need to be data-driven, regardless of your business, and this is even more critical in retail, but Smith says those companies that are behind or lack maturity in their analytics approach may feel stuck or overwhelmed by the prospect of playing catch-up.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where Adobe hopes to help with today\u2019s announcement. The company has created analytics workspaces aimed specifically at the retail sector. These templates are designed to jumpstart retailers\u2019 analytics and help them to understand their customers better.<\/p>\n

But they don\u2019t just want to show these companies how well their various online merchandizing plans have been working (or not), they want to expose gaps in the analytics strategy. That involves helping to guide them to build more complete and smarter analytical approaches. Specifically, templates have been designed with Adobe Sensei artificial intelligence \u00a0built in with anomaly detection and contribution analysis.<\/p>\n

This provides retailers with real-time access to data like conversion rates, product performance grids, domains driving visits and other data essential for retailers to understand their customers and how well they are doing in getting visitors from entry to purchase.<\/p>\n

Adobe hopes the new products give those companies that are not that far along in analytics, a head start, while helping those that have more mature analytics strategies the ability to keep building on that. \u201cIt\u2019s an iterative process. You start small and don\u2019t try to boil the ocean. Get some data points, see a blind spot, improve and make it better. Any type of analytical insight will help advance the ability to engage with customers,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n
