Retail Intelligence
Hundreds, sometimes thousands of references.
Thousands, or even tens of thousands of stores.
Data every day, 365 times a year.
As more and more retailers share point-of-sale and inventory information by day, by store and by item, the sheer scale of data becomes overwhelming. Averages do not make sense, as they do not leverage the level of detail available in the data. At the same time, exception reporting no longer makes sense: for instance, simply listing stores not selling a particular product creates such a long list that it becomes unmanageable. What CPG companies require is an actionable set of insights to quickly glance through the data, identify opportunities, solve issues and ultimately drive ROI.
Retail Intelligence, by Retail Solutions, solves the logjam and complexities associated with retailer data.
Retail Intelligence leverages over 50 use cases for retailer data to offer customizable templates with individual roles and processes in mind – providing simple, actionable insights helping CPG companies to manage situations such as "I am a replenishment specialist allocating quantities for an upcoming promotion in 1,000 distinct stores" or "I am a marketing associate tracking the launch of a new product in 30,000 stores".
Retail Intelligence bundles state-of-the-art graphical representation techniques, deep industry best practices and its industry-leading Retail Data Management infrastructure to dramatically accelerate and improve the ROI and payback of downstream data initiatives. This flexible platform is designed to support both large and small CPG companies in their transformation towards Retail Execution Management.
Retail Intelligence is the most advanced solution in the industry to drive sustainable value from downstream data across the enterprise and execute a successful Retail Execution Management strategy.
