“Problems like stockouts and excess inventory continue to present a major challenge for every brand selling into retail. With Alloy.ai now available as part of SAP’s industry cloud portfolio, consumer brands can gain current and complete visibility into their inventory positions and consumer demand, so they can make better, more accurate decisions across their supply chains,” said Joel Beal, CEO and co-founder of Alloy Technologies. “Consumer products companies are realizing that it’s not enough to keep an eye on consumer preferences monthly or weekly. These brands need immediate insights from their POS and inventory data – by day, by store and even by SKU – to stay competitive.”
“The inclusion of Alloy.ai in SAP’s industry cloud portfolio is a great benefit for the consumer products industry,” said Anna Linden, VP, Global Head of Supply Chain Planning Solution Management at SAP. “Data from the broader ecosystem is a key driver for insightful and aligned business decisions. Brands that aren’t prioritizing granular visibility and rapid-response in this new climate will struggle to stay competitive. Our partnership with Alloy Technologies helps enable businesses that use SAP IBP for Supply Chain to access broad sets of harmonized daily point-of-sale, inventory and supply chain data so they can automatically build more accurate forecasts and ensure business continuity in times of supply chain disruption.”
Alloy.ai is a demand and inventory control tower purpose-built to help consumer products companies sell more, save time and solve complex supply chain challenges. With daily SKU-store level insights in Alloy.ai, brands can quickly sense problems, predict issues their competitors won’t see coming and respond in real time, within seconds instead of days.
