SPS Analytics
What SPS Analytics is
SPS Analytics is a cloud-based web platform that connects retail sales, inventory, and item performance data to support proactive decisions. Its Decision Intelligence product shows sales by SKU and location across retailers and channels, linking sell-through and inventory information to support forecasting, replenishment, and allocation. Users can monitor days of supply, distribution gaps, and performance shifts to help rebalance inventory and address excess stock, stockouts, and markdowns. SPS retrieves, validates, and standardizes retail data from trading partners, then matches enriched performance information to a supplier’s product catalog. Insights can be delivered through dashboards, scheduled reports, files, or cloud integrations with BI and planning systems. Customers using Snowflake or Databricks can receive validated retail data in those environments. Updates are daily for retailers that provide daily data and weekly for many others; store-level and margin visibility depend on available retailer or supplier data. Implementation timing varies with data sources and scope. Pricing is available from sales on request.
