We Understand Your Challenges

Aggressive sales targets, ensuring promotional success and driving range expansions in stores, all whilst trying to build trusted relationships and more air time with your retailers can be challenging to achieve.

Combining your product knowledge with fact based evidence around SKU availability, promotional performance and/or historic trends ensures that your customers trust your recommendations. This enables sales teams to build collaborative working relationship with retailers.

Atheon’s SKUtrak allows you to get a consistent view of performance across retailers. It also provides you the opportunity to drill down into the data to get a better understanding of why a SKU might be under performing or why you might need to increase the supply of another SKU.

Having this data presented in a user-friendly, visual way not only makes your sales meetings more efficient but also allows you to quickly share relevant performance information internally and externally.

Ensuring that the conversations between yourselves and your buyers are fact-based helps you elevate your relationship above other suppliers. Thus giving you more air-time as you become a trusted adviser to your customers.

How does SKUtrak help me increase sales?

Seeing your daily sales and supply chain data enables you to spot trends, challenges and opportunities. This means you quickly make interventions to maximise sales.

For example, if you can see that you were short on a delivery to a specific RDC yesterday, you can make sure you send more stock today and maximise on-shelf availability.

Where does the data come from?

We automate and transform the data you already have access to through specific retailer portal accounts.

The only exception to this is our partnership with Co-op. In this instance we provide the access to data directly through SKUtrak.

Your data is always owned by you and/or the retailer according to your agreement(s) with them. SKUtrak® keeps this data secure and only available to authorised account holders: you and your colleagues.

What does SKUtrak give me that the data from my retail portal doesn’t?

It collects the data automatically every day so you don’t have to. SKUtrak displays your data in an interactive visual dashboard, you will be able to see insights that are otherwise hidden in the mass of numbers. SKUtrak provides a consistent experience across all the retailers and datasets that we offer.
