Data Harmonization and Strategic Selling
It all starts with syndicated data, which begins at the point of sale at hundreds of retailers across thousands of store locations, scanning universal product codes (UPCs) at the register. Data suppliers such as IRI, Nielsen, and SPINS collect this UPC-level data and go through a rigorous process to extrapolate that data over the total U.S. population, retailers, regions, competitive markets, and other geographies.
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers then purchase this data and use it internally or engage partners such as TABS Analytics to help provide analysis. Why would a CPG manufacturer engage a partner such as TABS? TABS turns that raw data into information fast! Our tools allow you to customize analytics, graph reports, and make selling presentations in hours instead of days or weeks.
TABS also utilizes data harmonization best practices to bring data sources together into one consistent view. For example, different data sources provide a different raw name description for the same item. TABS uses data harmonization techniques to remove these discrepancies and provide one consistent description. Clean, customized data is critical to insightful analysis.
TABS Analytics tools bring syndicated data to life, identifying opportunities to:
- Track performance
- Understand winning and losing players
- Discover incremental new items
- Identify top-ranking items and poor performers
- Determine distribution and share gaps
