About Till & Aisle Technology :

Till and Aisle Technology Pvt. Ltd. Is engaging with retailer to build a data model that uses sales and purchase transactional data, to deliver insights to FMGC brands and sales teams. This model is extremely unique and fills a very large, unaddressed gap on transactional analytics related to FMCG sales.

Additionally, the project works with retailers in improving their own performance and profitability through better management of inventory and POS hygiene. We are tying up with brands to run special offers for the customers at these stores and build shopper engagement models that moves the product from the shelf to the basket.

We are nearing the end of our POC with about 50 stores in Chennai and Bangalore and ITC is already running its first pilot in Chennai. Other companies are going to start the pilot soon. T&A has also developed its own, unique POS application called POSx that it is working on integrating into the project. T&A is built with our funds and basis the success of the POCs, we are sure that there will be ready funding to grow this opportunity exponentially.

The whole business is very analytics led and needs a team that can bring business sense to the data being collected and churned. We are looking at candidates who will like to join this project and deliver insights to the data we are working with.
