Data Revolution

Retail’s data-driven reset

Retailers must continually and responsibly reset the business to thrive in a world that’s changing fast. From consumer behaviors and market trends to competitive dynamics and the economic outlook, today’s reality is unlikely to be tomorrow’s. Retailers are grappling with factory shutdowns, stressed supply chains, sourcing scarcity, and even extreme weather. This is the nature of modern retail. And it will be from now on.
While retailers are swimming in data that can help them make sense of this complex landscape, functional silos and a lack of strong data governance make it difficult to get enterprise-wide data insights. So retailers are missing the big picture—they need to be truly data-driven and realize their retail digital transformation.
The Issue

Challenges in Retail

Rapidly Shifting Customer Behavior

As consumer tastes, income, and priorities constantly evolve it is becoming increasingly difficult for retailers to keep pace and understand changing customer behaviors.

Pricing Optimization

Cost of materials, economic and political costs, coupled with changing buying patterns are making price optimization challenging for retailers.

Fickle Customer Loyalty

With the rise of e-commerce paired with in-store delivery, retailers are continually under pricing pressure, maintaining customer loyalty has never been harder

Fragile Operational Issues

Retailers face challenges across their entire operation, from fulfillment and merchandising to staffing and finance which leads to missed revenue, stock-outs, and poor customer experience.

Precise and fine-grained forecasts
Building forecasts at the individual item-store level has never been easier, nor more precise. Octai makes it easy to not just build hyper-granular forecasts, but maintain them in production. With Octai’s time series, dynamic time warping helps you handle irregular series or seasonal forecasts with ease, while dynamic time warping helps you discover patterns you wouldn’t intuitively predict. Effortlessly handle all types of SKU-level demand patterns from seasonal, intermittent and irregular series to cold start/net new SKU forecasting. Point solutions can’t do this, and the reality is neither can many data science teams.
