WEBINAR Course5 Compass - GenAI Series
Democratization of Supply Chain Insights using Large Language Models (LLM)
We chose Course5 not because we wanted a vendor but instead needed a partner. Course5 foundationally understood our business and pushed us to stay ahead with the skills in different technologies expected today. This partner criteria helped us narrow down very quickly and realize Course5 was a right fit to truly drive us forward. We are going through a huge shift at our organization and Course5 has always been of great help. We traditionally have segmented our customers by products and are now moving to a customer segmentation model. Course5 has been a key partner in helping us approach this problem and rethink how we have been approaching segmentation as a whole. It has been a great experience working with Course5 and we would certainly recommend them.Read More
Audience Management and Personalization, Global Business Intelligence at Leading Technology Firm
I have closely worked with the folks from Course5 for many years now and they have always been a great partner to work with in the digital and analytics spaces. They have played key roles in automating and owning multiple critical data and process work streams that have helped us better meet internal business needs and move up the analytics maturity curve. This has helped us drive more value for the business and often helped us scale as business needs evolved.
The two things that have impressed me the most have been:
1) Results orientation with client focus - Course5 does a great job of understanding their client needs and coming back with scalable, sustainable, tailored solutions that meet business needs and solve business pain points.
2) Innovation - This is another area that Course5 excels at in proactively bringing forward new solutions that have worked elsewhere and could also help your business.
Overall, I would highly recommend Course5 to anyone looking to scale and build out a mature and robust digital and analytics practices.Read More

Our Global ecommerce group is extremely focused on Advanced Analytics as a way of driving its business. Over the last 10+ years, we have made decisions to build world class Analytics capabilities globally, in a way that allowed us to drive competitive differentiation across our entire customer value chain. As we matured and wanted deeper expertise, we have relied on some select and key partners to help us scale and optimize our capabilities. Course5 has been a key player in this context, helping us not only scale our business meaningfully, but also providing us best-in-class use cases and working collaboratively as one extended team.

Their focus on delivering 'value' is something we deeply appreciate as we continue to ramp our business aggressively.Read More
VP & GM - Global eCommerce and Digital Marketing, Leading Technology Company
We chose Course5 as a strategic partner after 4+ years of daily interaction with the company as well as an analysis of their strategic and execution capabilities. When I moved jobs, Course5 was the first company that I called to on board as our strategic partner for analytics and business insights. By providing more than just standard reporting, Course5 has helped us achieve our business goals. They proactively worked to bring new insights to the business as well as improve processes and technology.
Course5 is an incredible partner. They spend the time to understand your business and organization and fill in strategic and tactical gaps. This crosses people, process, and technology. They went the extra mile by providing additional expertise and resources to ensure a proper ramp up of our business. They proactively provided models and process improvements that were not in our original scope but were ultimately critical for the business to implement. Would I recommend Course5 to someone else? Without a doubt, YES.Read More
Sr. Director - eCommerce & Digital Marketing (Head of eCommerce), Large Tobacco Company
Course5 has been a core partner for us for the last 4-5 years. The relationship that started through a small POC has only grown bigger and better over the years. They have been instrumental in delivering some of the best analytics tools, solutions, and services driving stellar business value. But what stands out in the relationship is the sense of ownership and accountability that each and every Course5 employee brings to the table in solving "our company's" business problems. Sometimes I feel our internal Global Analytics team and Course5 are Siamese twins joined at the hip.Read More

Strategic Planning Manager, Leading Technology Company
Working with Course5 was a professional and personal pleasure! Together we designed and implemented a cloud infrastructure that improved reporting and analytics capabilities for over 30 properties globally. They have a strong technical and business understanding of data automation, marketing attribution, pricing analytics, and advanced analytics strategy. During our work together, Course5 had to work with multiple global internal teams as well as many integrated technologies and 3rd party vendors. They professionally handled the different personalities, corporate governance, conflicts and agendas, travel, time differences, and ongoing technology surprises.
The team I worked with always gave me the feeling of business integrity, that they are agnostic to technology, and made their recommendations by what was most efficient and effective in the context we operated in. I'm sure we will have the opportunity to work together again.Read More

Technology Insights Lead, Multinational CPG Company
Anchored in our digital shelf acceleration strategy, wanted to pass on huge CONGRATULATIONS to you all for the incredible progress made these last few weeks. From the meetings with our Sales heads this week, the feedback has been incredible – you should all be very proud. Not only did they recognize the immediate impact on performance through (1) CARS scores & (2) Sales & share growth (latest month data up +14.5% vs. only +10% YTD) but also in the ownership with speed behaviors you’re demonstrating defining a clear plan vs. the work to get done and in taking immediate accountability against that plan.
Great work & cheers! Here’s to continued momentum & growth going forward!Read More
