Claraview Retail Performance Management

Claraview


Overview

Leading retailers are looking to align planning with real-time information based on real-world events. Claraview Retail Data Warehouse seamlessly integrates with the IBM Cognos Store Operations Planning Blueprint to offer the first out-of-the-box, end-to-end retail performance management system.

The pre-packaged integration allows your organization to avoid purchasing and integrating disparate systems. This results in shorter time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership. The solution can be implemented in whole, or to augment an existing deployment of the Store Operations Blueprint.

The Claraview Retail Performance Management (RPM) solution, powered by Cognos, allows customers to measure business results against goals in near real-time. With one implementation, or upgrade of an existing Store Operations Blueprint installation, your retail business can close the planning loop:

  • Forecast, monitor, and manage corporate performance.
  • Integrate operational and financial performance management.
  • Realign plans as conditions change.
  • Engage vendors and store managers in supply chain optimization.
  • Identify, budget for, and retain key customers.
  • Enhance existing analytics with space planning, transaction and basket analysis, customer data integration, product affinity, competitive pricing, and other advanced analytics.

Benefits


  • Implement best-practice retail planning and analytics.
  • Minimize new technology investment.
  • Leverage years of retail business intelligence and data warehouse experience.
  • Reduce time-to-value by six or more months.
  • Minimize project risk.
