When your products are in stock, opportunity is in store
Turn real-time retail insights into accurate, demand-driven forecasts that keep your products on shelves when and where your customers need them.
Demand for consumer packaged goods changes fast.
Your forecast should, too.
Inaccurate forecasts, delayed visibility, and stockouts can cost you sales – and customer satisfaction – when demand suddenly shifts.
Fragmented data impedes progress
Siloed point-of-sale data from multiple retailers, mismatched SKUs, and manual mapping can cause delays, risks of errors, and creates visibility gaps that ripple across distribution channels.
Forecasts can’t keep up
Traditional monthly planning overlooks mid-cycle events like sudden demand shifts. When viral trends or external disruptions happen, your supply plans are already outdated.
Disconnected systems can slow you down
Email-based workflows and disconnected systems slow down forecasting and replenishment strategies – and increase the likelihood of stockouts and missed service-level targets.
