With the Covid-19 pandemic spreading so rapidly, attracting buyers with the products in a physical departmental store was impossible. E-commerce quickly grabbed the opportunity as most of the brands shifted their businesses online. In no time, over 24 million online stores were established all requiring attention of the same shopper which significantly increased competition. It was now very necessary for the brands to stand out for their customer’s attention which could only be achieved through Digital Shelf Analytics.

In physical retail stores, shoppers can browse through hundreds of products before making a final purchase. However, in an online platform shoppers grab attention through Google search results, third-party marketplaces, mobile applications, and other e-commerce channels.

A Digital Shelf is such representation of a brand’s products that enable consumers to discover, analyze and make a final purchase through digital channels efficiently.
