• Track sales and share across brick-and-mortar, e-commerce, and omnichannel to identify trends and understand competitive and category performance.

• Maximize profitability, eliminate wasteful trade spend, and ensure the right price and promotion strategy with more granular data and precise recommendations.
• Create sustainable growth by improving assortments and merchandizing.
