AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Revionics' ninth annual retail global summit, Insight 2018, was recently held in Chicago and attracted hundreds of leading retail innovators from around the world. Attendees came to connect and learn from world-renowned retail experts, industry analysts and Revionics' scientists and technologists. Retailers represented a full range of retail sectors including grocery, general merchandise, convenience stores, drugstores and pharmacies, sporting goods, consumer electronics, automotive, discounter, home improvement and hardware, specialty, apparel and ecommerce.

During the event, the attendees joined Revionics in celebrating the winners of the Revionics 2018 Elevate Retail Awards:  Drogaria Araujo, Reitan Convenience and TBC Corp. The award winners were recognized and celebrated as innovative retailers that are changing the face of retail with their advanced use of Revionics' solutions and have delivered significant ROI and performance improvements through Revionics' pricing, promotion and/or markdown optimization.

The winners' singular achievements include:

• Drogaria Araujo, a Brazilian drugstore chain with more than 200 stores and the market leader in the state of Minas Gerais, leverages Revionics Price Optimization, Key Value Item Analysis, Store Zone Clustering and Market Basket Analysis to provide more targeted, relevant pricing for customers while delivering a significant gross margin increase and providing cash flow to fuel store growth.

"Insight 2018's record-breaking attendance underscores the critical need for retailers globally to have a forum where they can exchange innovative ideas and explore and learn from the industry's best," said Revionics Chairman and CEO Marc H. Hafner. "With retail technology evolving at an unprecedented pace, we provided an unmatched line-up of content and expert speakers who could talk to retailers' current pain points, let them know what's coming in retail and how to be prepared, and share the latest in retail innovations. Most importantly retailers had numerous opportunities to network with their peers and have in-depth exchanges."

Keeping with the conference theme, the programming was designed to empower retailers to Innovate, Accelerate and Dominate. The event was keynoted by guest presenters from major retail brands and global analysts including Martin Schumacher, Chief Customer and Commercial Officer of METRO Cash & Carry Russia; Luke Rauch, Senior Director of U.S. Insights at Walgreens; Brendan Witcher, VP and Principal Analyst of Forrester Research; and Deborah Weinswig, CEO and Founder of Coresight Research. Attendees also enjoyed interactive break-out sessions, panel discussions and exciting networking events.

In keeping with activities at past Insights to benefit charitable causes, Revionics debuted a unique new element at Insight this year called Pay It Forward. The project benefits the People's Resource Center, which works to respond to hunger and poverty in the Chicago area's DuPage County. The company organized donations of cash and items including deodorant, hand warmers, hats, gloves, face wash, and more from Revionics retail customers, the Swissotel, and very generous employees.  Attendees and Revionics employees assembled the items into bags for distribution, and far exceeded the goal of 200 bags with an exciting 450+ bags donated.
