Anticipate demand with weather data
Not only do retailers have to deal with changing consumer behavior, digitalization, and increased competition, but they also have to deal with significant weather events.
This dashboard allows for retailers to predict extreme spikes of demand due to weather events, understand the geographic impact, and funnel new demand to address remaining gaps to ensure supplies are delivered to the right place at the right time. Decision makers can quickly mobilize and anticipate demand to accelerate emergency response and recovery efforts, so they can help customers when they need it most.

Visualizing food waste
Waste on fresh products costs a retailer real money, and savings on waste directly impacts profits. With this dashboard, visualizing waste with data provides powerful, actionable insights.
See the high waste products, identify waste issues across stores, and understand the makeup of waste—by volume of clean sales, RTC sales, and binned volume. As always, dig deeper by navigating to understand the geographic and pack size impact in order to deploy an effective solution.

Identify product availability
Having the right product in the right store at the right time is one of the fundamentals of retail. But no one said it would easy. Top retailers face this challenge daily and often face the risk of customers transitioning to a competing product if a product is out of stock.
In this product availability dashboard, decision-makers are able to understand which regions, products, and store formats are at the highest risk for costly availability gaps. By using this dashboard, retailers can maximize return, ensure customer loyalty, and secure effective brand sales management.

With natural language generation, managers can quickly identify and communicate key insights faster. By interacting with a dashboard that features a generated narrative, store managers can share the results with their team without having to write out an explanation themselves. A store manager can dive into the dashboard, identify a primary driver of declining sales, and confidently resolve the problem.
