Ace Hardware

In order to track and forecast demand more accurately, the company needed a way to analyze wholesale, inventory, and Point of Sale data from all of these stores in real time.

Ace Hardware is a leading hardware wholesaler and retailer, stocking more than 4,800 independently owned and company-owned hardware stores in all 50 US states and more than 72 countries. In order to track and forecast demand more accurately, the company needed a way to analyze wholesale, inventory, and Point of Sale data from all of these stores in real time.

Challenges
