Informatica Solutions for Retail
Cleansing and Integrating Data to Reduce Supply Chain Costs, Enhance Reporting, and Increase Profits
Growing demand for supply chain efficiency means that retailers are looking to more tightly integrate their operational and financial systems. This is driven by the fact that up to $40 billion in sales is lost each year due to supply chain inefficiencies. To remain competitive, retailers have adopted Global Data Synchronization and Electronic Product Code/Radio Frequency Identification (EPC/RFID).
However, many retailers are being hindered in their attempts to fully automate business processes and move to the next level of supply chain management because of poor data quality. If the ultimate goal of an uninterrupted link from manufacturer to the point of sale is to be realized, these companies need to be able to access, discover, cleanse, integrate, and deliver their data where and when needed throughout their enterprise. In so doing, retailers can drive key business initiatives such as:
- Reducing costs through improved operational efficiency by ensuring access to clean, integrated, synchronized data-both internally and externally
- Maximizing channel effectiveness by obtaining high-quality, holistic data for in-depth analysis, ensuring that data is consistent across multiple channels, and achieving the ability to view and synchronize data in real time
- Establishing a robust regulatory compliance framework by pulling data from many disparate sources and creating accurate reports
