Client Needs
As providers of purchasing information on all main grocery markets in the UK, the client required a company to collect product and pricing information from shopper till receipts, which are received in a variety of formats.
Given the fast-paced and ever-evolving nature of the grocery market, coupled with shifting consumer shopping trends, speed and accuracy in data capture were paramount. Reliable, consistent data with rapid turnaround times was essential to meet these demands effectively.
Solution Summary
The DDC Group implemented a highly efficient and cost-effective hybrid solution, combining onshore and offshore operations. UK panel members submit electronic images of receipts, which are securely transmitted to our advanced facility in Manila. There, skilled operators manually extract the required data, adhering to strict validation rules to ensure only relevant, pre-approved information is captured. All processed files are returned via FTP within 48 hours, with turnaround times reduced to 24 hours during critical reporting periods.
