The Retail Solutions tool is pervasive. It crosses boundaries, and is used by all the functions we leverage to serve [our retailer customer] more effectively. We are developing a foundation of learnings, and we are deploying these learnings across the organization.

According to all analysts, the "downstream data" market has reached the tipping point in 2009/2010: more and more leading retailers are now sharing detailed point-of-sale and inventory data with more and more manufacturers.
However, sharing and receiving data is only the starting point – for many CPG companies, the main challenge remains how to build data-driven programs generating a tangible ROI by transforming data into actionable insights that drive sustainable value, competitive differentiation, actionable business processes and better retailer relationships.
Retail Visibility, by Retail Solutions, provides an actionable foundation for CPG companies to build value with retailer data across the entire organization.
Retail Visibility helps distribute the right data to the right roles at the right frequency – either by leveraging existing templates, such as new item launch tracking, promotion ROI analysis and stores not scanning, or by letting users create and schedule their own ad-hoc reports. Advanced scheduling and distribution mechanisms ensure that the data is always up-to-date and becomes part of business-as-usual – without ever requiring logging in to a separate application for most users.
Retail Visibility requires only standard enterprise tools (Microsoft Excel, Internet Explorer and Outlook), no IT development or resources, and has quickly become the most used platform to leverage retailer data in the CPG industry. Today, more than 300 companies leverage Retail Visibility to access and build value from data coming from more than 30 American and European retailers, including 7 of the top 10 Food, Drug and Mass retailers.
Retail Visibility provides an actionable platform to immediately transform retailer data into value across the enterprise:
