Insights

As a result, loyalty card margins were improved and provision costs reduced. Profit Insight’s PI3 analytic platform provided program focus and campaign tracking to generate an increase in spend > 10%.
  • Portfolio included a large segment of high net-worth cardholders with strong banking relationship, requiring Board executive involvement due to sensitivity of any suggested changes.
  • Client’s operating teams were high performing and allocation of any required resources was limited, requiring solutions to produce high benefit with minimal disruption to internal teams and external customers.
