San Ramon, CA, June 30, 2005 - Appian Analytics, a leading business analytics company, announced today
that it has launched a retail analytics service line to provide retail customers with analytics and reporting services to monitor multi-store retail chain performance.
"We will be providing monitoring services for retail companies with multi-store locations. Performance metrics tracked include interrelated factors such as merchandising and demand trends, inventory levels, customer perceptions and behavior, and store financial performance. The information is typically developed with the market research and strategic planning group s of retailers and used in category management, brand management, strategic planning, market analysis, benchmarking, and in other performance tracking efforts."
As an established outsource company for business analytics with a
specialization in retail analytics, Appian Analytics provides
additional value with expert research automation capability. By
leveraging the library of software for automating analytics, data
processing, and graphical report production , Appian Analytics is able
to provide highly efficient—timely, cost effective, and high quality results.
"Using the automation software library has been instrumental in facilitating the chain store performance analysis process. I can’t see how you could effectively integrate and monitor important retail and merchandising trends without it. This includes the use of traditional operational system data sets stemming from scanner-based/point of sale (POS) systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP), market research surveys, and data from syndicated sources such as AC Nielsen and IRI.”
