28. What do we do?
At APT, we tackle a variety of high stakes strategic business problems by applying data-
driven analytics
28
• Promotion Planning – Is my promotion driving traffic or just
eroding margin?
• Menu Development – What entrees should I remove from my
menu? What should I add?
• Market Basket Profiling – When customers buy a guitar, what
accessories do they buy? How should that impact my
adjacencies?
• Customer Incentive Programs – What rate should I offer on a
CD to a new customer?
• Network Planning – Where should we build the next Holiday
Inn?
• Due Diligence– How should we feel about the growth
prospects of a company we may buy? How significant are the
competitive threats?
• Online-to-store Advertising - How much does online
advertising affect my in-store sales? Do online sales
cannibalize in-store sales?
Every step of the way, software gives our consultants leverage and lets
them focus on “which question to ask next” rather than Excel formulas
