5 REASONS MARS PETCARE IS PUTTING DATA TALENT AT THE HEART OF ITS BUSINESS
1. Mars Petcare has a phenomenal data platform, and the huge potential of its data has resulted in a team dedicated to building this asset, expanding capabilities, and driving analytics. The platform currently holds data on almost 100M unique pets and is the only one of its kind. From veterinary appointments to medical records, activity data to DNA profiles, the richness of the information about pets is incredible.
2. Having in-house skills dedicated to ensuring data is secure and advancing data capabilities is a real advantage. Every model, platform or system is designed with bespoke architecture specific to Mars Petcare’s needs, and its team has the skills to support and evolve the data ecosystem and processing technologies.
3. Data is driving the creation of new innovative products that are shaping the future of pet care. The company’s Whistle Fit dog activity trackers provide users with valuable data-driven insights that enable owners to better care for their dogs, and its latest release also offers custom nutrition recommendations. Mars Petcare owned Antech Diagnostics launched a new AI-driven diagnostic tool that can predict whether a cat will develop chronic kidney disease up to two years before traditional clinical diagnosis. This tool is the first of many predictive diagnostics in the pipeline.
4. Having such a rich data set provides a huge opportunity for new research. From understanding pet obesity and advancing pet health, to analysing shopper behaviour and identifying growth opportunities, the insights provided by Mars Petcare’s data platform are transforming the way it does business and improving the lives of pets everywhere.
5. Data and pets – need we say anymore?
Our Associates also think big, working to end pet homelessness and alleviate student debt for veterinarians. The WALTHAM Petcare Science Institute is also driving the innovations we need to improve pet health through nutrition, data and veterinary care.
