Turn-Key Retail Sales & Inventory Integration

How it Works

Actual Sell Out & Inventory Data is Incredibly Important in CPG Customer Management

There are different types of sales data: sell-in (shipments), inventory, and sell-out (retail sales). Shipments is the ultimate measuring stick (your sales), but inventory enables you to understand out of stocks, and actual retail sales enables you to understand the performance of your shopper-facing assortment, pricing, & promotion strategies. You get deeper, more informative information into your customers and products when this is integrated into your sales planning system and presented alongside forecasts.

Maintenance is Challenging

Platforms like BluePlanner have been able to import retail sales, inventory, and other reference metrics for some time. The challenge is ensuring that the data is properly mapped, prepared, and there is a schedule kept to get the data into the system.

BluePlanner Turn-Key Retail Sales & Inventory Integration

UpClear, working with long-time partner Atheon Analytics, has applied AI this challenge. Using Atheon’s SKUtrak technology, retail sales data and inventory data* is automatically pulled from retailer portals and imported into BluePlanner daily.

This eliminates manual maintenance and facilitates actual versus forecast reporting, creation of projected (latest estimate) retail sales metrics/reports, inventory reporting, and post promotion analysis all in BluePlanner. These in turn help you understand performance faster, forecast more accurately, identify out-of-stocks/phantom inventory, and optimize promotions.
