One Definitive Version of the Truth
Industry-Leading POS and Inventory Data Collection, Reporting, and Analytics
Nothing accelerates business growth quite like VELOCITY.
Consumers have more access to more brands and product information today than ever before. And consumer demand, preference, and behavior, as well as market conditions, can change at any moment.
Without precise, reliable daily retail POS and inventory data and accurate reporting and analytics, consumer goods companies and their retailer partners struggle to anticipate, respond, and effectively adapt to those changes.
With VELOCITY, organizations serving consumer markets can unify large volumes of disparate data into one version of the truth and leverage that information for unparalleled analytics that generate meaningful insights. They’re able to make smarter, faster business decisions that strengthen partnerships, maximize ROI, and drive profitable growth for both suppliers and retailers—at the speed of now.

Bring it All In
Ingest the data you want and need.
VELOCITY’s cloud-based retail analytics platform automates the entire process of collecting, cleansing, harmonizing, and normalizing retail POS and inventory data with internal and third-party data into a single, manageable source—your one version of the truth.
Continuously extract and update daily item-level and store-level supply and demand data—of any type or format—from retail partners through 600+ retail data adaptors.
Bring it All Together
Knock down silos. Build up collaboration.
Store your “true” data in VELOCITY’s secure and highly scalable Demand Signal Repository (DSR), or export the harmonized data to your DSR, enterprise data warehouse, integrated data platform, or analytics tool sets.
Gain a complete view of your demand and supply chain across all retailers, at all levels. Unify and align business units and strategic decision-making with easily accessible near real-time data and shareable insights.
Analyze it All
Drill down. Go far and wide.
VELOCITY provides easy-to-use and ready-to-use reporting and retail analytical tools that don’t require technical expertise. Intuitive dashboards, scorecards, and visual data representation provide answers to pressing questions in minutes—not hours or days.
Analyze the data you need, in the way you want and at the level you want: item, store, chain, channel, territory, region, market, and more. Access automated standard reports or perform ad-hoc data analyses.
Export data to other applications and business intelligence tools for additional integration, data mining, and insights. Companies without their own analytical tools can utilize Microsoft Power BI as part of VELOCITY.
