RETAIL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Built on verified customer signals

TruRating is the verified consumer signals layer for retail intelligence. Capture anonymous feedback from 84% of customers, linked to every transaction, and get an AI-ready dataset that explains where customer experience is driving business performance and where to act next.

Where customer experience meets the P&L

Real-time insight, real-world results

Transactional data tells you what sold, where, when, and at what margin. TruRating adds the verified customer signals behind those numbers, so your team can see which moments drive conversion, spend, and loyalty.

Every response is captured at checkout and connected to the transaction, so teams can turn customer signals into action. Use the insight to coach stores, plan regions, shape campaigns and brief the board with confidence.

Traditional CX receipt-based surveys: multiple-day lag
100%
Transaction linked

How TruRating works

One question. Better retail intelligence.

Plug & play

Activate through your existing payment terminals. No new hardware, no IT lift, no long deployment.

Frictionless

Anonymous, in-flow at checkout, with nothing for guests to hand over. That's how 84% take part.

Operator-ready

Dashboards, reports, and AI summaries update in near real-time across locations, formats, and regions.

Intelligent Questions

Questions rotate from a pre-set bank, or trigger based on context: items on the basket, loyalty status, promotion, or store.

Representative data

84% participation means you hear from the full base of paying customers, not the small, self-selecting group that fills in a survey.

Foundations for AI

AI is only as strong as the signals behind it. TruRating provides the verified customer data layer for training, evaluation and live context.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions retailers ask most often.

What is retail business intelligence?
Retail business intelligence is the use of customer, transaction, operational, and commercial data to inform decisions across stores, merchandising, marketing, and strategy. TruRating provides the verified customer signals layer: anonymous ratings from real customers, captured at checkout and linked to every transaction.
How is TruRating different from a CX platform like Medallia or Qualtrics?
CX platforms like Medallia and Qualtrics rely on longer surveys sent after the experience, including receipt-based surveys with low response rates. TruRating captures one anonymous rating at checkout from 84% of customers, linked directly to the transaction. You get a representative view of customer experience with the commercial context you need to act on it.
How is TruRating different from market research panels?
Market research panels recruit profiled consumers for ongoing studies. They're useful for concept testing and brand health work. TruRating captures verified anonymous responses from buyers at the moment of payment, linked to what they paid. Many enterprises use both: panels for deep research, TruRating for the verified customer signals layer.
What is the 84% participation rate, and how is it possible?
84% of customers respond to TruRating's single anonymous question at checkout. The high rate comes from the placement (on the payment terminal) and the format (one question, one keypress). The interaction is patented globally, granted and pending across key markets.
What kinds of retailers use TruRating?
TruRating is deployed across enterprise retail, grocery, apparel, QSR, hospitality, and convenience formats. Customers include ALDI, Cracker Barrel, Five Below, Nike, JD Sports, and Tim Hortons. If you have a physical or digital point of payment, you can deploy it.
Can TruRating data support AI systems?
Yes. TruRating's data platform exposes pre-joined, validated, transaction-linked customer signals via Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, REST APIs, and Delta Lake exports. Plug into any data stack, including Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, and the major retail-vertical platforms.
