SAS® for Grocery

Grocers have long been at the hub of our communities. We return again and again for food and other consumer products. To withstand the onslaught of competitive pressures, grocers have embraced store brands, prepared foods and other higher-margin items like cards, gifts and books. Today's grocer faces channel-blurring, rising commodity prices and economic instability that create new pricing and margin pressures.

Retailers choose SAS for grocery solutions to drive better results and tailored product assortments. SAS has the grocery domain expertise and technology to power advanced customer, merchandising, demand forecast and performance analytics.

" We chose SAS because of their strong commitment to retail and analytical excellence. This partnership will enhance our customers' shopping experience with the implementation of SAS' technology and resources to provide improvements in pricing, assortment and category management."

— Maura Hart

Chief Information Officer, Winn-Dixie
