Share Robling announced that WiggleCRC, the leading online retailer of specialist cycling, running and swimming apparel accessories, has selected Robling’s Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution to power insights-driven retailing at wiggle.com / chainreactioncycles.com. With more than 2.2 million active customers in over 70 countries, the UK-based company is in the midst of a rapid international expansion fueled by the global consumer trend toward healthy living and the increased popularity of cycling. Wiggle views data and intelligence as critical to its success in accelerating revenue growth and entering new markets, where it seeks to precision-target locales underserved by local retailers.
