Data & automation for vendors

A vendor owns the brand's result but depends on partner-supplied data to see it — usually late, in inconsistent formats, and incomplete on sell-out

Where it hurts

  • Sell-out is opaque: you see what ships to partners, not what actually reaches the end customer.

  • Partners send data in different formats, late, or with errors.

  • Plan execution is hard to track across channels, regions, SKUs, chains, and managers.

  • Purchase forecasting suffers from an incomplete or delayed view of sales.

  • Promotions and marketing are hard to judge against real impact on sales and margin.

Timely, reliable visibility across partners, channels, and inventory — sell-in, sell-out and plan execution — with material deviations that require management attention identified automatically.

What we put in place

  • Standardised partner file intake, with format and completeness validation on arrival.
  • A consolidated sell-in / sell-out view across partners and channels.
  • Partner and dealer performance against plan, by region, SKU, and chain.
  • Plan-fact calculated automatically, with the deviation and the responsible manager on the same record.
  • Alerts when a channel, partner, or SKU moves outside its planned range.
  • AI-generated summaries of material changes, likely drivers, and items requiring review.

How we work with you

For vendors the audit concentrates on partner data: which partners report, in what format, on what cadence, and how their files are currently reconciled into a channel view. The build then standardises partner file intake, reconstructs the sell-in / sell-out chain, and models the plan hierarchy — channel, region, SKU, chain, manager — so plan-fact is calculated rather than assembled.
