Shoppers looking at items in mens clothing boutique

Responding quickly to demand, verifying on-shelf availability, shaping your retail presence, and knowing the right stores for promotions are some hallmarks of retail success. Bring together the right data and gain actionable insight from analytics using e2open Demand Signal Management, a platform that captures, harmonizes, and analyzes cross-retail demand data and helps you take profitable action.

Retail execution at its best using harmonized demand data

Data inconsistencies across retailers

Insufficient insight results in failed promotions and suboptimal performance

Data from retailers, brokers, merchandisers, and other sources is abundant and increasing, but inconsistencies in metrics, formats, and frequency make the information difficult to combine and use. Creating a current view of demand for various combinations of stock keeping units (SKUs), categories, stores, retailers, and regions becomes impossible—so efforts to introduce new items, run trial promotions, and build the brand are unlikely to succeed. Frequent stockouts result in lost sales. Promotions usually fail to grow the brand or category.
