M Science Adds UK Consumer Spending Metrics

Data-driven research and analytics frim M Science has launched SWIPE UK, a tool giving financial institutions and corporations daily updates on key consumer spending metrics, including revenue forecasts and cohort analytics.

M Science is a portfolio company of Leucadia Investments, part of Jefferies Financial Group Inc., and its research teams work with massive amounts of unstructured data in 'near real-time' to find insights for decision-makers in the sector, including M Analysis consumer research reports. The new SWIPE UK is available through API or through the firm's interactive visualization platform M Data Viz, and includes indices on spending, unique shoppers, transactions and average ticket, spanning 54 merchants across 30 publicly traded companies. The company also offers SWIPE US, which covers 625 US merchants across 230 companies.

Users of both tools can drill into key consumer spending metrics and observe spending behavior patterns in near real-time; compare across companies and industries; and can integrate the data feed directly into their models.

Ajay Krishna, Head of Data Science and Engineering at M Science, says the company is 'bringing transparency into the UK consumer landscape through a purely systematic process' creating 'unbiased', near-real time insights. CEO Michael Marrale adds: 'We are proud of the work that went into developing SWIPE UK as we continue to execute on our mission to deliver actionable insights from alternative data'.
