Big data is a hot topic these days. It’s almost as if the business world has emptied a vast treasure trove of valuable information right in front of its eyes. The majority of the research and think pieces on the emerging technology focus on big data’s potential value to businesses – their bottom line, productivity, and profits. Big data can also have a significant impact on consumers.
Big data is a term that refers to data stores with three Vs. It stands for volume (the sheer size of the data sets), variety and velocity (the speed at which data can be stored and analysed). These huge, complex and diverse amounts of data are too large for traditional data processors. AI has made it possible to analyze these data for useful insights.
Let’s look at how consumers can benefit from these insights in this article. This is how big data can be used to empower smarter consumer decisions, greater control, and lower prices.
Accountability and Choice for Real Estate Consumers
One of the most impressive examples of big data in action is the real estate industry, in particular Nobul, which operates a digital marketplace for real estate.
Nobul uses big data to give power back to real-estate consumers. Nobul’s AI-enabled algorithm searches through large data about real estate agents (locations, reviews, fees and transaction histories, etc.). To give consumers an overview of their options and to recommend the most suitable agents. This is a complete reversal in the way that the industry used operate. Agents conceal their information and minimize overlap competition.
Superb Crew spoke with Nobul CEO Regan McGee to discuss the benefits of big data for consumers. Regan McGee explained that Nobul offers transparency, choice, accountability, and accountability to an industry that is often viewed as difficult and opaque by homebuyers for decades.
Commercial Relevance
Big data is used by consumer goods companies to personalize and promote relevant products. You can find the “You might also enjoy” section on any e-commerce website. Commercial relevance works both ways. Consumers can also benefit from big data to determine their personal relevance. Big data can be used by consumers to gather product reviews, price-compare and zero in on the product that interests them.
This is similar to the “department store” model of commerce. A business guides customers to specific fixtures to help them make a purchase. Consumers are now in control of the buying process thanks to big data.
The Optimization to Reduce Price Reduction Pipeline
Some economic experts believe that big data can be a net benefit for consumers as it can lower the price of goods. Big data helps to optimize and speed up internal business processes and reduce costs for production and transport. Big data-savvy businesses can then pass the savings on to their customers to help them win over new customers.
All of this is part of a lifecycle that begins with big data. It’s also one of the many ways technology is helping to disrupt industries.
These are just some examples of big data’s potential benefits for consumers. Big data can give consumers more options, more control, and more spending power in each case.
