Land O' Lakes was recognized for their innovative use of analytics and data to drive more effective collaboration and improved sales and profits for Land O' Lakes and their customer, Kroger.  Land O' Lakes is using Market6's Saas-based analytic applications against a shared platform of Kroger's daily store/item level sales and operating data to collaborate with Kroger around all core business processes, including sales tracking, promotional execution, supply chain planning and inventory optimization.
