2.Abstract
This report outlinesa comprehensive AI-driven transformation strategy for Tesco,
addressing the significant operational and market challenges it faces in an increasingly
competitive retail landscape. Tesco, a leading multinational retailer, is under pressure from
discount competitors like Aldi and Lidl, as well as e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.
Internally, operational inefficiencies and underutilization of customer data have further
hindered its growth and profitability.
The project focuses on delivering innovative solutions through advanced data analytics, AI-
driven customer personalization, and predictive modelling. These solutions aim to enhance
Tesco's operational efficiency, improve customer engagement, and optimize decision-
making processes. By harnessing the power of big data and artificial intelligence, Tesco can
transition from reactive decision-making to a proactive, data-centric approach. This will
allow the company to better anticipate market trends, personalize customer interactions,
and optimize its supply chain.
One of the core components of this strategy is improving Tesco’s supply chain management
through predictive analytics, which will enable the company to forecast demand more
accurately, reduce inventory waste, and streamline operations. Additionally, AI-powered
personalization tools will enhance customer experiences by providing tailored
recommendations and promotions, boosting customer retention and loyalty.
The expected outcomes of this transformation include a 15% reduction in operational costs,
a 20% increase in profit margins, and a 2% expansion of Tesco’s market share. By integrating
these AI-driven solutions, Tesco is positioned to strengthen its competitive edge, improve
sustainability, and capture new growth opportunities in the evolving retail industry.
In conclusion, this strategy provides a clear roadmap for Tesco to leverage analytics and AI,
enabling it to maintain its market leadership and drive long-term profitability.

4.Problem Statement
Tesco facesseveral pressing challenges affecting its global market presence:
Online Expansion: Tesco must quickly scale its online operations across diverse regions. This
involves expanding its digital infrastructure, enhancing logistics for timely deliveries, and
localizing the online shopping experience to cater to regional preferences and regulatory
requirements. Rapid expansion requires significant investment in technology and resources
to effectively compete with global e-commerce giants like Amazon.
Personalized Customer Experiences: To stay competitive, Tesco needs to provide

landscapes. The company needs to localize products and services to meet the specific
demands of each region while adapting marketing strategies to fit local cultures and market
conditions. This ensures Tesco remains relevant and competitive in all its operating regions.
Lack of AI-driven Insights: Tesco's reliance on limited data analytics impairs its decision-
making and operational efficiency. Currently, only 15% of Tesco’s decisions are AI-driven,
compared to over 40% among its leading competitors. This gap hinders Tesco's ability to
adapt to market changes, forecast trends, and optimize operations effectively. Enhancing AI-
driven decision-making is crucial for improving strategic responses and operational
performance.

4.1 Focus Areas
1.EnhancingScalability of Online Operations: To scale online operations effectively, Tesco
should focus on upgrading technology infrastructure, including servers and cybersecurity
measures. Localizing the online platform to address regional preferences and languages is
essential for creating a seamless user experience. Additionally, investing in advanced
logistics, such as automated warehousing and real-time inventory management, will support
efficient order fulfilment and delivery. These strategies will enable Tesco to expand its
digital footprint and compete in new markets.
2.Improving Customer Engagement: Enhancing customer engagement involves leveraging
AI and ML to provide personalized recommendations and promotions based on individual
shopping behaviours. Implementing advanced analytics tools will help Tesco predict
customer needs and improve targeting accuracy. Investing in customer feedback
mechanisms and real-time interaction tools will also help address concerns promptly,
reducing churn and increasing overall satisfaction.
3.Leveraging Real-Time Data Analytics: Real-time data analytics can drive efficient decision-
making and optimize online workflows. Developing robust analytics capabilities will allow
Tesco to capture and analyse data on customer behaviour, inventory levels, and market
trends. This information will support informed decisions, such as adjusting pricing strategies
and managing inventory more effectively. Real-time analytics will enhance operational
efficiency and enable Tesco to respond quickly to market changes.

4.2 Tesco’s CurrentSituation
1.Stagnant Market Share: Tesco’s UK grocery market share is steady at 27%, reflecting its
strong market position but also indicating limited growth in a competitive environment. To
increase market share, Tesco must innovate and improve its customer experience,
operational efficiency, and strategic investments.
2.Limited AI-driven Decision-Making: Only 15% of Tesco’s decisions are based on data, a
stark contrast to the over 40% seen among competitors. This limited use of AI-driven

over its suppliers, enabling it to negotiate favourable terms and manage costs
effectively. However, maintaining strong relationships with suppliers is crucial to
ensuring product availability and quality. Tesco must balance negotiating power with
collaborative partnerships to avoid supply chain disruptions and ensure consistent
product offerings.
4. Bargaining Power of Buyers: Consumers have significant bargaining power due to
the availability of numerous alternatives and easy price comparisons. To retain
customer loyalty, Tesco must offer high value through competitive pricing, a diverse
product range, and exceptional customer service. Building and maintaining strong
customer relationships is essential in a market where switching costs are low, and
alternatives are plentiful.
5. Threat of Substitutes: The growing availability of meal delivery services, local
grocers, and subscription-based models presents a rising threat. To counter this

6.Approach and Methodology– Solution Overview
1. Data Preparation:
o The first phase focuses on gathering relevant data from multiple sources.
This involves collecting a wide array of data points needed for analysis. The
process includes removing duplicates and correcting inaccuracies, ensuring

6.2 Approach andMethodology – Model Development
1.Customer Behaviour Model
The Customer Behaviour Model outlines the stages customers go through when interacting
with a business. It starts with Awareness, where customers learn about a product through
marketing or social media. In the Consideration stage, customers research and compare
options. During the Purchase stage, they make the transaction, including decisions about
payment and delivery. After purchase, customers enter the Post-Purchase Evaluation
phase, where they assess their satisfaction, influencing future behaviour and brand loyalty.
Satisfied customers may reach the Loyalty and Advocacy stage, becoming repeat buyers
and recommending the product, which enhances brand loyalty.
2.RFM Model
The RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) Model is a method for segmenting customers
based on their purchasing behaviour. Recency measures how recently a customer made a
purchase, with recent buyers often being more engaged. Frequency tracks how often a
customer makes a purchase, indicating loyalty. Monetary assesses the total amount spent,
identifying high-value customers. Segments are categorized as:
• High Recency, High Frequency, High Monetary: Best customers who are recent,
frequent, and high spenders.
• High Recency, High Frequency, Low Monetary: Frequent buyers who spend less.
• Low Recency, High Frequency, High Monetary: Previous high spenders who haven’t
bought recently.
• Low Recency, Low Frequency, Low Monetary: Least engaged customers.
Applications include targeted marketing and customer retention strategies, such as
personalized offers and re-engagement campaigns.
18.

6.2 Approach andMethodology – Model Development (Cont.)
3.Predictive Modelling uses historical data and statistical techniques to forecast future
customer behaviour. It involves Data Collection of past purchases and interactions, Feature
Selection for relevant variables, and Model Training using methods like regression analysis,
classification algorithms, and time series analysis. Model Evaluation assesses accuracy, and
Implementation applies predictions to scenarios like customer segmentation and inventory
management. Benefits include improved decision-making, enhanced customer experience,
and increased efficiency by anticipating trends and optimizing resources.
4.Data Governance refers to the management framework that ensures data within an
organization is accurate, consistent, secure, and used responsibly. It encompasses policies,
procedures, and standards that govern how data is collected, stored, accessed, and utilized
to ensure its integrity, quality, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Summary
The Customer Behaviour Model explains the customer journey, the RFM Model segments
based on purchase behaviour, and Predictive Modelling forecasts future behaviour to guide
strategic decisions.
