This is an interesting marriage. Both companies excel at SaaS data and analytics technology, and the addition of the antuit.ai functionality to the Zebra Technologies portfolio will clearly bring advances to the already heated marketplace in trade channel promotion optimization. Antuit.ai’s Demand Modeling Studio product is a great example of how companies can and should begin leveraging better data and more innovative scenario modeling across the entire customer base. The combination of these two companies will make a significant impact on the trade channel promotion landscape across every sector of consumer goods.
