Retail Solutions was among the first to recognize the power of applying sophisticated analytics to retailer data such as POS, supply chain, merchandiser feedback, and EPC data through an extensive set of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.

Over its history, Retail Solutions has developed a comprehensive set of proprietary algorithms, systems and applications designed to transform downstream data, such as retailer point-of-sale (POS), supply chain, EPC or category data into valuable and actionable insights. These efforts have been recognized by several patents and numerous awards.
While downstream data holds a tremendous promise for its users, the sheer volume of data requires a brand new approach. Simple reporting across tens of thousands of stores and hundreds or thousands of different SKUs will lead to either unusable averages or information overload. Since its inception, Retail Solutions has focused on how to build applications designed for downstream data and on how to transform massive data sets into accurate, relevant and actionable insights for CPG companies and their retailer customers.
Our field-tested, proven solutions have been developed in partnership with the largest Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies. Since its first joint research agreement, signed with the Procter and Gamble Company in 2005, Retail Solutions has worked in close collaboration with many of the industry leaders to design, develop and prove the most advanced and comprehensive application suite in the Retail Execution Management field.
