Capitalizing on your E-Commerce Partnerships with SKUlytics

Managing a modern CPG portfolio has truly never been more complex. Organizations are juggling thousands of SKUs across fragmented channels while navigating volatile supply chains, shifting consumer preferences, and the relentless pressure to maintain healthy margins.

The organizations that win in this environment are the ones making faster, more confident decisions backed by accurate, unified data. However, many CPG leaders find themselves stuck in spreadsheet hell, where critical inventory and sales data are siloed across disconnected systems.

A leading CPG brand came to us with this exact problem. Their analysts were spending over 20 hours a week manually compiling data from ERPs, POS systems, and logistics providers. 

The result? 

Inconsistent insights, delayed reactions to stockouts, and missed growth opportunities.

If this sounds familiar, you’re exactly who we had in mind when we built our SKUlytics accelerator.

We’ve spent years helping Retail and CPG brands solve their toughest data problems and we’ve taken everything we know and built a tool that finally puts all your product and sales data in one place, using AI to drive decisions.

We call it SKUlytics.

What is SKUlytics?

SKUlytics is a central intelligence hub built on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform that automates the ingestion and normalization of dozens of third-party brand feeds directly into a single source of truth. SKUlytics consolidates disparate data sources, including inventory levels, sales velocity, marketing, spend, and external market signals into a single, governed Lakehouse architecture.

 

What Benefits Does SKUlytics Deliver?

By integrating Marketing & Media Optimization with Inventory & Merchandising, SKUlytics creates a powerful feedback loop that ensures every dollar spent is tied to a product on the shelf. On the media side, the platform identifies which campaigns are driving truly profitable growth, allowing teams to eliminate wasted spend and invest with enough precision to see a 20% improvement in ROAS.

This marketing intelligence is backed by real-time inventory tracking that uncovers exactly when to restock or move products, effectively preventing missed sales and overstock. The result is a more agile supply chain that boasts a 98% On-Shelf Availability (OSA), ensuring that when your optimized marketing drives a shopper to the page, your product is there and ready for the cart.

Who We Built SKUlytics For

SKUlytics was designed for CPG organizations navigating the complexities of omnichannel distribution. It is especially built for:

  • CPG Brand & Marketing Leads who need to unify fragmented consumer data into a single source of truth to drive evidence-based marketing strategies. SKUlytics helps these leads understand which campaigns are actually driving profitable growth, improving Media ROI by up to 10%.
  • E-commerce Leaders tasked with maximizing performance across a growing digital shelf. SKUlytics provides these leaders with a unified decision engine that connects SEO, content, and conversion metrics to show exactly why a SKU is winning or losing online.
  • Shopper Marketing Professionals who need to optimize the path to purchase and improve shopper trust through consistent pricing, promotions, and product availability. This team can leverage SKUlytics to identify high-value shopper segments and tailor content for more relevant activation.

Questions SKUlytics Can Answer with Data

 “How can I gain a holistic, single-pane-of-glass view of my entire e-commerce ecosystem across all retail partners?”

“Which retail websites are delivering the highest return on investment, and where should we reallocate our marketing budget to maximize growth?”

“How do our SKUs currently rank organically for key search terms, and what specific levers can we pull to improve our site placement without increasing ad spend?”

“Is a drop in conversion due to poor organic search visibility, uncompetitive pricing, or a content gap on the product detail page?”

“Which high-margin items should we prioritize for organic placement to protect our profitability during peak shopping periods?”

  • 15-25% Reduction in Stockouts: Through enhanced forecasting precision and proactive alerts.
