Powerful new features give consumer goods brands instant, near real-time visibility into demand and inventory positions across their supply chain and retailer networks
Alloy.ai, a software platform that helps consumer brands rapidly sense and adjust to changes in consumer demand and supply chain disruptions, announced the launch of new features that make it the first Demand and Inventory Control Tower purpose-built for consumer brands. The Alloy.ai application is powered by a data platform that automatically aggregates and harmonises point-of-sale (POS) data from all of a company’s retail and ecommerce channels and syncs it with inventory and internal supply chain data from ERP systems. This gives Alloy.ai’s customers – such as Bic, Crayola, Ferrero, Melissa & Doug, Valvoline and others – instant visibility into demand and inventory across their own networks and those of their retailers.
With this launch, Alloy.ai puts best-practice metrics and workflows at users’ fingertips. Now, upon launching Alloy.ai, users are greeted with a dedicated Launchpad pre-configured with best-practice guided workflows and templatised dashboards. This makes it easier than ever to turn disparate retail, ecommerce and supply chain data into insights to grow sales, save time, reduce waste and decrease costs. Launchpad is immediately available for all new customers, and existing customers will be able to take advantage of the power of Launchpad in the coming weeks.
Alloy.ai power users can still customise their own analysis by choosing from more than 350 consumer goods-specific metrics ready for cross-retailer analysis, including marketing promotion analysis, phantom inventory, new item execution, geographic analysis and more.
“In today’s volatile business climate, things change quickly. There’s no more waiting days or weeks to find out how your product is performing or where you might be experiencing problems. For the first time, brands can now get insights and take action in seconds,” said Joel Beal, Co-founder and CEO of Alloy.ai. “With more than 40 million SKU-location combinations actively being analysed in the Alloy.ai platform — and by working with dozens of consumer brands which are category leaders — we’ve built best practices for managing sales and supply chains directly into our product.”
