Client Needs

As providers of purchasing information on all main grocery markets in the UK, the client required a company to collect product and pricing information from shopper till receipts, which are received in a variety of formats. With the grocery market highly dynamic in nature and consumer shopping trends ever-changing, the speed and accuracy of data capture were of paramount importance, with a real need for consistent and reliable data in quick turnaround times.

DDC OS manages approximately 2.2 million till receipts per year, with data capture accuracy maintained at a minimum level of 99% - consistently higher than industry standards.

Our Solution Summary

DDC OS has provided the client with a highly efficient and cost-effective onshore/offshore hybrid solution. UK panel members send in electronic images of receipts which are then securely transmitted to our advanced facility in Manila, where operators manually capture the required data; following a set of strict validation rules to limit the data capture to only relevant, pre-agreed information. All files are returned via FTP within a 48-hour period, with this being reduced to just 24-hours at critical reporting times.
