Our Journey

In 2013, C5i’s ecommerce experts identified a market gap: Fortune 500 companies needed an affordable, reliable, and accurate solution for real-time Digital Shelf Performance insights—essential to thrive in fast-paced digital marketplaces.

After early releases to global clients in technology, CPG, and retail, C5i Compete officially launched in 2015. Since then, it has rapidly evolved with digital commerce trends, tech innovation, and shifting brand needs. What began as a data collection and provisioning platform is now a GenAI-powered, end-to-end Digital Shelf Analytics and Insights platform. It is an ecosystem of cloud-based ecommerce performance management solutions with robust adoption and ROI frameworks and business and technical specialists focused on driving impact for clients. C5i Compete has received multiple recognitions from leading industry analysts like Gartner and Forrester and has been adopted and valued by several Fortune 500 enterprises.

Guided by our mission of empowering clients with ‘Accurate Data, Actionable Insights’, C5i Compete is built to drive measurable improvements in shelf performance, helping brands grow in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
