You can’t survive in retail without clear, complete data.
To thrive as a retail business, you need to make smarter decisions faster than your competitors. But making smart decisions fast is impossible when you’re drowning in spreadsheets and arguing with suppliers over the numbers.
You don’t have time to waste cleaning up and deciphering a mountain of Excel reports. To maximize profits, you need a single source of real-time truth for all your supply chain data. Learn how to improve your supply chain visibility with comprehensive dashboards that use your eCommerce analytics and POS data.
Sharing your data could mean higher margins and stronger cash flow for everyone.
When you and your suppliers have access to the same real-time product performance data as you, it’s easy to join forces, spot opportunities, and quickly implement changes that reduce waste and move more stock. You make more money, and so do your vendors.
Fully integrated data has a transformative impact on your business. When you have product performance data integrated across your entire trading partner community, you can finally see what’s ahead of you. Instead of constantly scrambling to pay bills, you can start making long-term plans and executing them smoothly, protected by strong, healthy cash-flow year-round.
“What we like most about SPS solutions is they’re easy to access and easy to use. You can get professional data in a quick and timely matter, all by yourself … It’s much better than using a bunch of different excel spreadsheets and then trying to merge into one with your own definitions and match with item information. And then, after all that, running your own analytics. It was very time-consuming and you just sat there for hours.”
– Astrid Volidal, Business Operations Manager of Helly Hansen
