Engine’s mission and capabilities

Their platform supports demand forecasting, assortment optimisation, planogram automation, and media measurement, enabling brands to make more accurate decisions by leveraging granular, unified data across sales, e-commerce, third party, and market channels.
The company emphasises enterprise-grade security, transparent data sourcing, and operational reliability.

Recognitions and strategic growth
Engine has attracted attention in industry press and among major CPG brands for growth and strategic moves. In 2024, they acquired Lift Bridge Consulting, a media measurement firm, to strengthen their marketing-measurement capabilities. This acquisition highlights how Engine is integrating both sales and media analytics under one roof for better return-on-investment insights.
Executive appointments bolster their authority. For example, Jim Norred, formerly Microsoft’s GM for Retail & Consumer Goods, joined their Board of Directors in October 2023, bringing strategic insight and industry leadership. This adds confidence in Engine’s management and future direction.
