Article Abstract:
The UK's leading retailers are investing very heavily in technology which allows them to record and assess the purchasing patterns of individual customers. Tesco, Sainsbury and Safeway, for example, all now use data warehousing technology, gathering information via loyalty cards. They are now handling vast volumes of information, and use sophisticated tools to analyse the information and extract details of buying habits and trends. Some observers believe that supermarkets may not really be deriving clear benefits from their loyalty schemes.
