The AAARRR-funnel helps understand the customer journey.
To measure success, track relevant data.
But which data?
Here the AAARRR-KPI tree can help.
But: please use it contextually. Track only the KPIs that make sense for your product and environment.

Tackling Warehouse Management Systems is no small feat, but we love a challenge, which is why we're integrating our online platform with the new @TFGZA Riverfields Distribution Centre to centralise order fulfilment later this year 🚀

Massive growth in online at TFG Africa, driven by the Bash platform. Given the relative return to the malls for many shoppers, that's impressive.
Up 44.4%!

JSE: In 1995 there were 600 companies listed on the JSE. Now just over 200.
This was the Top40 in 1995. Anglo and the gold miners were huge. Now we do not even have a Gold Mining index anymore.
Murrays & Nampak were Top25 companies and Edcon was the largest local retailer.

Today we're excited to introduce Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Devin is the new state-of-the-art on the SWE-Bench coding benchmark, has successfully passed practical engineering interviews from leading AI companies, and has even completed real jobs on Upwork.
Devin is an autonomous agent that solves engineering tasks through the use of its own shell, code editor, and web browser.
When evaluated on the SWE-Bench benchmark, which asks an AI to resolve GitHub issues found in real-world open-source projects, Devin correctly resolves 13.86% of the issues unassisted, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art model performance of 1.96% unassisted and 4.80% assisted.
Check out what Devin can do in the thread below.

Heard from Enterprise AI Product leader:
A large % of F500 companies (esp those producing physical goods) don't quite know how to use AI to differentiate their business.
The biggest use case in the short-term is automating support centers to cut support Opex/costs, as well as chatbots (and classic ML applications such as fraud). But they don't need to build this internally since many vendors will offer it.
Many enterprises know they need to do something, but don't know what. They've hired a head of AI and have reserved GPU clusters because they've heard it's a hot commodity. But unsure what to do next, especially something that will drive true business differentiation and business value.
Opportunity for a "McKinsey/BCG/Bain of AI". Likely M/B/B have already pivoted a lot of their engagements to AI.

This is a breakthrough in practical application of AI!
Klarnas AI assistant, powered by @OpenAI, has in its first 4 weeks handled 2.3 m customer service chats and the data and insights are staggering:
- Handles 2/3 rd of our customer service enquires
- On par with humans on customer satisfaction
- Higher accuracy leading to a 25% reduction in repeat inquiries
- Customer resolves their errands in 2 min vs 11 min
- Live 24/7 in over 23 markets, communicating in over 35 languages
It performs the equivalent job of 700 full time agents... read more about this below.
So while we are happy about the results for our customers, our employees who have developed it and our shareholders, it raises the topic of the implications it will have for society.
In our case, customer service has been handled by on average 3000 full time agents employed by our customer service / outsourcing partners. Those partners employ 200 000 people, so in the short term this will only mean that those agents will work for other customers of those partners.
But in the longer term, as more companies adopt these technologies, we believe society needs to consider the impact. While it may be a positive impact for society as a whole, we need to consider the implications for the individuals affected.
We decided to share these statistics to raise the awareness and encourage a proactive approach to the topic of AI. For decision makers worldwide to recognise this is not just "in the future", this is happening right now.
