“The buzz around our platform is intensifying and retailers are waking up to the importance of nuance and accuracy in insight. In the last few years, board and operational tolerance of vague metrics have declined as better ways of understanding and modelling customer motivations have emerged.”
“We’re at the crest of this wave and we’re delighted with this accolade. It’s yet another important endorsement of the calibre of the UK tech startup community,” he adds.
