ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Oct. 3, 2024) – Retail Velocity, a trailblazer and the industry leader in retail data collection, reporting and analytics for the consumer goods industry, announced today that the world’s leading provider of access solutions has adopted its VELOCITY® modern retail data platform to drive smarter business decisions with its major retail partners. This marks a significant step for the European-based company, with over $13 billion USD in sales, as it looks to deepen its understanding of sales and inventory activity across key retailers.
By implementing the cloud-based VELOCITY® platform, the global access solutions leader is set to enhance sales, revenue and operational efficiency by automatically ingesting, cleansing and harmonizing daily point-of-sale and inventory data from more than 1,100 stores across retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Costco, The Home Depot, RONA, and Canadian Tire Corporation. Furthermore, e-commerce data integration will offer a comprehensive, omnichannel view of the company's performance, a key driver in today’s retail landscape.
“The client recently acquired a leading hardware and home improvement division.
