Using INTAGE's SRI+

Using SRI+ data, we uncovered the brand performance of the customer and how it compares to the competitors. As a result of our research, they realized that although sales of the product itself were good, there were few stores in Japan that carried the product. After negotiating with distributors and strengthening sales in supermarkets, the company succeeded in increasing its sales share by 128% year on year. (March-August 2021, data source: SRI+)

Case study: Consumer goods product development

Consumer goods companies
