TheYoda: AI-Driven Commercial Intelligence for Wholesale & Distribution
TheYoda — a B2B commercial intelligence platform that turns transaction data into pricing, retention, and account management decisions for wholesalers and distributors.
The business problem
Wholesale and distribution businesses were making critical commercial decisions — pricing, account prioritisation, customer retention — based on gut feel and static spreadsheets. B2B transaction data existed in abundance across thousands of trade accounts, but nobody was turning it into actionable intelligence. High-value accounts were churning before anyone noticed, and pricing decisions across large product catalogues were leaving margin on the table.
What we delivered
- TheYoda — an AI-powered commercial intelligence platform purpose-built for B2B wholesale and distribution. Not a dashboard. Not a BI tool. An intelligent system that analyses trade account behaviour and recommends commercial actions.
- Automated account segmentation using RFM analysis — identifying your highest-value accounts, at-risk accounts, and growth opportunities across the entire customer base.
- Churn prediction that flags at-risk trade accounts before they switch suppliers — giving commercial teams time to intervene with targeted offers or outreach.
- Pricing intelligence that analyses transaction patterns, purchase frequency, and margin data to inform pricing strategy across product categories and account tiers.
