DIY & Home Improvement Retail

How a DIY retail network ended its scattered store reporting

This large DIY retail network needed better visibility across sales, inventory, stores and categories. We built a reporting layer over its operational data, so leadership and category teams could see how the business was performing across the network.

Network-wide

sales, inventory and category visibility

By store

and by category, not just totals

One layer

over the operational systems already in place

Challenge

Operational data spread across systems, hard to manage at the network level.

What we built

A reporting layer over the network’s operational retail data.

Result

One network-wide view of sales, inventory, stores and categories.

The challenge

The network ran a large retail operation across many stores and categories, but its operational data was hard to see in one place. Sales, inventory, store and category performance were spread across systems, which made it hard to manage at the network level.

What we built

  • Built a reporting layer over the network’s operational retail data.
  • Brought sales, inventory, store and category performance into one place.
  • Gave leadership and category teams a clear operational view to work from.

The outcome

Can you see your whole retail network in one place?

If sales, inventory and category data are spread across systems, we can bring them into one operational view for leadership and category teams.
