We’re Like a Crystal Ball For Your Brand
When your view at retail is limited to what has already happened, you’re dealing with yesterday’s news. The real advantage comes from anticipating what is coming before anyone else, spotting the shift, understanding what’s driving it, and making your move while others are still catching up. You need an edge.
Catch it early
Waiting for a monthly or quarterly report means you are already lost. Leading teams track performance across all channels in real time, catching early signs of trouble or opportunity:
- Instant alerts for sudden sales changes, competitor activity, or unexpected demand shifts
- Explanation of why the change is happening and whether it is isolated or part of a bigger trend
- The ability to act before issues escalate or competitors respond
Make your move
Retail conditions can change overnight: a price drop, a new display, or sudden out-of-stocks can shift share instantly. This can be the difference between great quarter or a not-so-great quarter. Predictive models give sales teams the forward view they need to shape the market rather than chase it:
- Reallocate supply before demand spikes or stalls
- Move product to the right stores to prevent costly out-of-stocks
- Time promotions for maximum lift and visibility
- Plan resets around future shopper behavior, not just last month’s sales
Take action
Leaders rely on prescriptive analytics to turn insight into clear, actionable next steps that sales teams can act on immediately. This means they can go in minutes from “we see a shift” to “here’s the fix and the expected outcome.”
- Scenario planning to see which moves deliver the biggest return
- Ranked opportunities that show where the biggest gains are possible
- Ready-to-use models that speed approvals with retail partners
Act first
In a highly competitive environment, speed changes the outcome. A few hours can decide who secures a buyer’s commitment or wins the most visible placement. Leaders move while competitors are still gathering data.
- Cut months of analysis down to minutes
- Share findings instantly across sales, supply, and marketing teams
- Move first to lock in opportunities before anyone else knows they exist
Set your team free
Technology does not replace the knowledge and skills that drive sales. It removes the manual work of finding and interpreting the data so teams can focus on what matters most:
- Strengthen buyer relationshipsNegotiate from a position of insight and evidence
- Build strategies for both short term wins and long term growth
- Your team still makes the decisions; they just have sharper insights to support them
The Takeaway
Leading brand teams are predicting the news, not reporting it. They’re seeing shifts sooner, understanding them faster, and moving before the competition can."
