30 Million Monthly Active Shoppers and Causal AI Tech Power One of the Industry’s Largest Deterministic Purchase Intelligence Assets
NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Becausal, the leader in causal AI-based CPG and retailer purchase intelligence, today announced it won the 2026 MarTech Breakthrough Awards for Overall Marketing Analytics Solution of the Year and was selected as one of approximately 50 companies worldwide for the NRF Europe Innovators Showcase. Together, these recognitions highlight the growing demand for purchase intelligence that combines scale with transparency into every datapoint.
Becausal offers the industry’s largest deterministic CPG purchase dataset, which includes more than 4 billion retail transactions from 30 million monthly active shoppers across 300 consumer packaged goods (CPG) categories. By curating and connecting multiple independent purchase data sources and applying causal AI, Becausal transforms that scale into trusted purchase intelligence that helps brands understand consumers, build audiences, activate campaigns and measure business outcomes.
“For years, CPG marketers have been asked to trust models they cannot inspect and data they cannot trace,” said Chai Outmezguine, CEO of Becausal. “We believe the next competitive advantage won’t come from more data or smarter AI alone. It will come from combining scale, intelligence and trust. These recognitions validate that direction.”
Unlike traditional data providers that rely on a single source, Becausal’s deterministic purchase graph unifies transactions from multiple independent data partners into a common product and retailer taxonomy and deduplicates them at the shopper level. The complete consumer story cannot be told from data from a single retailer, panel or dataset, so Becausal delivers a broader, deeper and more representative view of consumer purchasing behavior that enables brands, agencies and retailers to activate and measure against a single, consistent source of purchase intelligence.
Becausal uses a causal inference engine that makes every output traceable to observed purchase records, allowing marketers to understand why audiences were created, update them as consumer behavior changes and connect media decisions to measurable purchase outcomes. The system works from stored data rather than a fixed, trained model, so new data is able to be retracted or incorporated without retraining delays and mid-campaign corrections can be deployed.
Becausal’s ExtendedAudiences replace traditional lookalike audiences with “act-alike” audiences, creating a much more accurate understanding of consumer behavior. Becausal’s AuditableAI™ platform precisely models and visualizes the propensity-to-purchase and reveals exactly why specific “act-alike” candidates were added. It automatically updates based on the deterministic data, continuously recalibrating audiences to ensure precise targeting of the most likely buyers.
