WHY IS EDI SO DIFFICULT FOR COMPANIES?

Standardization - there’s many different forms of EDI (Edifact, ANSI, X12, XML, etc.)

Some companies require it, some don’t, some encourage it, etc. so should my organization invest or resist?

Financial ramifications – charge backs, vendor score carding, and potential loss of business from a trading partner

Investment – it’s not secret, EDI is expensive, it requires hardware, software, personnel, and expertise

No wonder organizations struggle with EDI!

Presenter
Presentation Notes
SPS first got into the Analytics business in 2008 when we launched our first analytic application in the cloud called Trading Partner Intelligence. We grew that business at a rapid pace for the first few years, with primary focus on SMB suppliers and large retailers. POS analytics was and continues to be the primary revenue driver. Of note is that our growing analytics business played a significant role in our successful IPO in spring of 2010 and continues grow much faster than our core EDI business representing roughly 20% of our revenue today. In 2012, we had a significant inflection point when we acquired one of our competitors, a company named Edifice, who’s success was primarily with large leading brands such as PVH, Nike, Under Armour, Mattel, Nikon, etc.

POINT-OF-SALE ANALYTICS • Industry leader in POS Analytics • Serving 1500+ brands with

essential information from over 220 retailers

• Sales & Inventory information from more than 360,000 retail locations across 10’s millions of items

• Analytic applications that scale to support the worlds largest brands as well as new startups 26

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Focusing on the POS analytics business further, here are some statistics to help you understand the scale of this business. From an Omnichannel Retail standpoint, there is huge demand for this information to help streamline sales and inventory information which is essential to meeting consumer demands of any product anywhere anytime. (bridge hard on the omnichannel play…it will support your EDI conversations too).

POS ANALYTICS WE ANSWER KEY SALES & INVENTORY QUESTIONS FROM RETAILER POINT-OF-SALE DATA

SUPPLIERS 1. How can I better forecast product

demand across the channel? 2. Which products are moving

faster/slower than planned? 3. Where is my customer at risk of

stock-outs or oversupply?

RETAILERS 1. How can I best allocate

inventory to demand? 2. What stores/regions are at

inventory risk? 3. How can I improve sales,

margin, turn?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Retailers and suppliers are trying to answer the same questions… just from different angles. Here are some examples. Retailer focus: buyers get paid to move product through the checkout line. That means tracking 10’s 1,000’s of products across 100’s or 1000’s of stores from 100’s of suppliers on a weekly basis. Good luck! But the questions must be answered. Supplier focus: inventory is a huge part of the cost of goods sold. Want right inventory at the right time in the right location which equals strong inventory turns and is front and center of customer satisfaction. Suppliers need to be leaders in this… helping their key customers merchandise better. Whatn this is done, they save money, have happier customers, and make more money. It’s that simple.

POS DATA SHARING MAKING BUYERS & SELLERS MERCHANDIZING PARTNERS

COLLABORATIVE QUESTIONS Buyers & Sellers

What items are at risk of stock outs ?

How can we optimize allocations ?

Which products and locations need promotional support ?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
So to do this effectively, many brands want to “collaborate” more with their buyers. They share the same objectives…why not? But most retailers are very selective here. Top brands, NPI, emerging products, category captains, etc. Everyone else? No time.
