At the start of April, Exabel, an artificial intelligence and machine-learning platform for active asset managers, partnered with 1010data, an alternative data provider to the retail, consumer packaged goods and financial services industries, to develop their Covid-19 impact dashboard.
The dashboard derives information from multiple sets of live credit and debit card transaction data, as well as some geolocation data that shows declining visits to stores.
Taken together, these give investors a close to real-time insight into how the pandemic and lockdowns have impacted consumer spending in the US at companies across 11 subsectors of the travel, general merchandise and grocery, and retail industries.
