Empowering Brands with Localized Retail Analytics, Insights, and Cross-Border Collaboration
Bentonville, AR – October 17, 2024 – Nuqleous, a leader in B2B SaaS solutions specializing in big data, retail analytics, and space planning optimization, today announced the acquisition of SpringBoard Data Management (“SpringBoard”), a premier Canadian provider of advanced retail analytics software. This strategic acquisition enables Nuqleous to provide localized and retailer-specific solutions for Canadian retailers and CPG brands. Nuqleous will bring significant resources to SpringBoard, accelerating product innovation and providing greater support for SpringBoard’s customers. The move marks another milestone for Nuqleous in its journey to transform retail data into actionable insights that enable intelligent decision-making on a global scale across every category.
Expanding Access to Exquisite Retailer Data Globally
The pace of retailer data innovation is accelerating rapidly in the United States and abroad. Expert Market Research forecasts dramatic growth in the global market for big data analytics, projecting a 21.8% CAGR and an addressable market size of $53 billion by 2032 in the United States alone. This surge comes as brands and retailers are more frequently leveraging big data to enhance operations, personalize customer experiences, and optimize their increasingly complex and global supply chains.
“This acquisition aligns perfectly with our broader strategy of expanding Nuqleous’ reach, not only across North America, but also globally,” said Garrett Levey, Co-CEO of Nuqleous. “By increasing the breadth and depth of the retailer ecosystems we can support, we’re ensuring that Nuqleous remains at the forefront of delivering comprehensive solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. SpringBoard’s powerful platform and local expertise significantly enhance our ability to support our clients in Canada and beyond.”
Empowering Canadian Brands with Local Expertise & Cross-Border Collaboration
Canadian brands and suppliers have long valued working with a local partner like SpringBoard, because of their deep understanding of the Canadian retail landscape, localized support, and Canadian retailer-specific and cross-retailer reporting and analytics capabilities. Nuqleous is well-aligned with this strategy and considers Canada a highly strategic market for expansion and continued innovation.
"This strategic move strengthens Nuqleous' presence in the rapidly growing Canadian market and creates a powerful cross-border solution for brands operating across North America," said Sam Jenks, Director of Corporate Development at Nuqleous. "We're excited to bring SpringBoard's deep Canadian market expertise and powerful platform into the Nuqleous family. Together, we'll deliver unmatched value, facilitating collaboration and data-driven decision-making."
SpringBoard's deep understanding of the Canadian market is further evidenced by its extensive library of retail data connectors, including seamless integration with major Canadian retailers including Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Amazon Canada. These connectors add to Nuqleous’ product portfolio which includes ShilohNext, a Walmart Luminate API Certified Partner.
