How We Help
Turn Your Data Into Decisions and Decisions Into Dollars
Poor data leads to poor decision-making. Which, in turn, can lead to empty shelves and lost sales, failed promotions and product launches, and dissatisfied consumers.
Retail Velocity’s retail data platform automatically collects and harmonizes all your retail data, putting one clean, accurate, reliable source of data in the palm of your hand.
With near real-time POS and inventory data at the store-SKU level, teams across your enterprise gain full visibility into consumer demand and supply to drive deeper, faster insights and power decisions that can reduce out-of-stocks, improve retail execution and promotion analysis, and ultimately, increase sales, revenue, and profits.
CLEAN, CENTRALIZED DATA
Leverage one version of the truth and provide complete, near real-time visibility into demand and inventory activity to any department or business function.
- Automatically collect and update daily store-SKU point-of-sale and inventory data from any retail source.
- Cleanse, integrate, and harmonize disparate retail data with ERP and third-party data to eliminate data silos.
- Feed your ready-to-use data into your tools or apps of choice: cloud-based systems, EDWs, BI tools, Generative AI, and more.
