“Pattern seeking” software leverages available retailer data to analyze systems, personnel, and process behaviors to increase revenue and margins.

Jake Bohm, the central character in the new FOX television show Touch, possesses a supernatural power that enables him to see and understand events before they happen by analyzing seemingly random numeric patterns.

Guy Yehiav, CEO at Profitect, doesn’t have super powers. He has to rely on data analysis software to find and understand complicated patterns. But the result of this scientific — not supernatural — approach to making sense of big data, promises significant profit improvement for retailers. We caught up with Yehiav to talk through the advantages of “pattern seeking” in the retail supply chain.
