What SPS Analytics is
SPS Analytics is a cloud-based, web platform for analyzing retail sales, inventory, and item performance data. Its Decision Intelligence product connects SKU- and location-level sales across retailers and channels with sell-through and inventory information to support forecasting, replenishment, and allocation. Users can monitor days of supply, distribution gaps, and performance shifts to help rebalance inventory and address excess stock, stockouts, and markdowns. SPS retrieves, validates, and standardizes data from trading partners, then matches performance data to a supplier's product catalog. Insights can be delivered through dashboards, scheduled reports, files, or cloud integrations with BI and planning systems. Customers using Snowflake or Databricks can receive validated retail data in those environments. Updates are daily for retailers providing daily data and weekly for many others; store-level and margin visibility depend on available data. Implementation timing varies with data sources and scope. Decision Intelligence pricing is available from sales on request.
