OMNIDATA™ IN ACTION
EXPLORE HOW OMNIDATA™ HELPED THESE Retailers TAKE ACTION WITH THEIR DATA
OmniData™ rapidly deployed an Azure-based analytics environment ingesting data from the central Distribution Centre (DC) and each of the retail outlet warehouse systems as well as purchasing/sales data then modeled the data to provide a clear understanding of the historical data, coupled with dashboards and reporting. From there, a demand forecasting model was implemented to streamline the ordering process and new warehouse processes were defined to provide better OTIF order management.
As part of the digital transformation process, a baseline temperature for each fridge based on product storage temperatures was created and matched with the designated store product map. From there, data from IoT sensors in each fridge in each retail outlet was collected and paired with the baseline data and a graphical dashboard for the monitoring of the environments was created. This ensured that store management was always informed of the temperatures in each fridge and allowed them to act quickly if a temperature fluctuation was detected.
As an added benefit, the continued management of the refrigeration environment resulted in a reduction in electricity consumption as each fridge was now set to the optimum temperature for the products being stored in it.

What challenges face digital transformation in the retail industry and how can companies get ahead
At the highest level, retail cannot change: it must transport physical goods to its customer. With online platforms growing, retail brands must find a way to position themselves in the digital era. According to Forbes, companies that do not see technology as an enabler nor have a unified data strategy will fall behind.
