    Unilever Food Solutions Success Story

    The Challenge

    Unilever Food Solutions (UFS) aimed to increase their presence in the Hispanic food market in the US, intending to expand some of their best-selling products from the region. However, they lacked crucial data on key indicators such as the total restaurant universe, restaurant characteristics, and contact details. This made it difficult to execute their strategy effectively. UFS shares how they overcame this challenge using our platform.

    Bar chart of Unilever Food Solutions conversion rates: 1.5x after focusing on the most relevant leads, against 1.0x before segmentation, across 20 custom segments.

    The Need for Change

    To tackle this challenge, UFS devised a 3-step approach:

    • How Many: What is the complete universe of potential operators?
    • Which One: How do we filter, prioritize, and segment the operators UFS should focus on?
    • Acquire: How do we drive growth through digital sales and marketing at these operators?

    Why Dashmote?

    UFS chose Dashmote for our ability to provide comprehensive data from various online sources, helping them answer all the questions in their 3-step approach. According to UFS, Dashmote provided the exact data we needed to focus our efforts effectively. A plus for UFS, was that Dashmote has the capability to offer a 360° data integration, collecting and integrating data from a wide range of sources to create a comprehensive Digital Trade Census.

    Dashmote delivered all the information UFS needed for their 3-step approach:
