Inventory Analytics
Improve your revenue predictability with 100% pipeline inventory visibility
Manufacturers have few existing measures of the inventory held in retail stores, distribution centers, and third-party returns processors. IntegriChain Inventory Analytics reports 100% of inventory in the retail channel, even in pharmacy stores and distribution centers that do not report their inventories.
Widely accepted by the audit community and leading finance teams
Our Inventory Analytics provides the industry’s only comprehensive report of inventory in the downstream retail channel. Widely accepted and validated by the audit community and leading finance teams, Inventory Analytics empowers teams throughout your organization to align around a shared and accurate view into total pipeline inventory.
Based on actual sell-in, returns, and point-of-sale data, Inventory Analytics gives you a weekly report of retail inventories on hand at an individual SKU level. Inventory Analytics captures 100% of the inventory located in chain distribution centers, chain stores, independent stores, and third-party morgues that house product not yet returned to the manufacturer or wholesaler.
