The abovementioned, through the development of a pilot test, which consists of three general stages, identification of the client, validation and refinement of the model and a forecast of new clients. The pilot test implies the formulation, refinement and reading of data of mass scale. This is undertaken by making use of three analyses: discriminant analysis, hierarchical cluster and k – media cluster. The methodology employed is DMADV, which is used where there is a need of designing or a re-designing of products and/or processes or, such as this case, the process of data analysis. As a result, a model capable of identifying 5 different segments, which the potential of providing analytical capacities in order to know, grow, monitor and maintain e-commerce clients within the retail business of Mexico.
