• Market Basket Analysis

• Market Basket Analysis is a sophisticated algorithm used to determine which goods and services are most frequently purchased together in a transaction. When conducting a Market Basket Analysis, companies use actual transaction information to examine purchasing patterns – did customers purchase milk with cereal, or installation services with a washer and dryer?
  
  A Market Basket Analysis helps companies understand consumer buying patterns, and leverage those patterns to bring in more profits. Acorn Systems project team has experience helping companies with all aspects of Market Basket Analysis. From project concept, to implementation, to resulting business analysis, Acorn Systems can translate individual transaction data into profit-making opportunities for day-to-day business operations.
  
  For example, this could include significantly lowering the price of drill bits, therefore attracting customers to a high profit-margin, associated market basket purchase - drills. Companies that extend Market Basket Analysis to their day-to-day business operations consistently outperform those who do not.
