BEHAVIOR
Segmentation was done at a customer level. This allowed us to use behavioural demographics to
characterise the segments.
CALCULATED VARIABLES
All other variables have been calculated for both consumer and customer.
THE POWER OF SAS
SAS allowed us to calculate at both levels and pick one as our business default
34. RESIDENTIAL customer

LOW user generating HIGH revenue
LOYAL Powershop brand

Purchaser HIGH number of specials
Pays the HIGHEST unit price
41. SAS VISUAL ANALYTICS
FAST
Deployed in the Amazon cloud, up and running in days rather than weeks or months
VALUE
Small monthly costs rather than massive upfront costs
PROVE IT
If SAS Visual Analytics doesn’t deliver value, it can be turned off easily
43. NO BLACK BOXES
TRANSPARENT MODELS
SAS EM, RPM and EG were used to provide visible and self documenting code. No black box base
SAS code was harmed in the delivery of this project.
TRANSPARENT DELIVERY
Powershop got all the EM/RPM projects, EG projects, SAS code and documentation so they could run
it themselves. They only call us when we can add more value.
MENTORING
Personalised onsite mentoring after the project was delivered. Ensured Powershop got up-to speed
gradually and as needed.
