Market Measurement
• Market measurement: The main aim for
market measurement is to aid marketing
management to understand market or sales
potential which is relevant to a specific
geographical area, period of time, products
and market segments.
• Ordinal analytics will help you to understand
the market potential by studying the market
share, size and growth by customer segments
and products

• Forecasting: In today’s fluid business environment,
managers need the most reliable prognostic information
about emergent trends, “what if” scenarios and they need it
early enough to provide ample time to prepare and react.
• Ordinal analytics: provides adaptable solutions that can be
customized to either a client’s technology platform or
seamlessly integrate with industry specific technology. By
leveraging an understanding of business requirements,
industry challenges, and macroeconomic factors—and
applying advanced statistical and econometric techniques—
we are able to establish an appropriate forecasting
framework, execute on the collection and analysis of the
latest prognostic data, and rapidly reassess go-forward
conditions as new inputs become available.
