Maximizing Retail Performance with Data Observability
How top retailers leverage reliable data to drive omnichannel success
The Retail Data Imperative
Modern retailers are navigating an increasingly complex digital landscape—SKU-level transactions, real-time pricing, omnichannel inventory, and customer behavior insights.
Yet, unreliable data leads to blind spots with serious consequences:
The $1.77 Trillion Blind Spot
Overstocks, stockouts, and mismatched demand signal a data crisis. Retailers are losing trillions globally, not because they lack data, but because they can’t trust it. Without visibility into data health, even the most sophisticated inventory systems fail to deliver.
When Data Fails, Inventory Piles Up
Forecasting without reliable, up-to-date inputs leads to costly misfires. One error multiplies across SKUs, stores, and markets. The result? Dead stock, wasted marketing spend, and operational inefficiency on a global scale.

Too Late Is Too Costly
By the time teams notice a broken pipeline or a reporting inconsistency, revenue has already taken a hit, and so has customer trust.
Reactive tools can’t keep up with real-time commerce. What retailers need is a way to spot issues before they cascade.
Meanwhile, retail media networks (like Carrefour & Sainsbury’s) are monetizing clean, actionable data at scale. To stay competitive, retailers must turn their data into a strength.
