Case Study: Availability Mgt.- Hardware Retailer

Analyse very large data sets visually without programming


Unlike spreadsheets, Omniscope files scale up to the limits of ever more powerful desktop/laptop hardware, without the complexity of databases requiring SQL and a knowledge of underlying schema.  

Challenges:

  • Availability of stock was becoming an area of increasing concern
  • More than 50,000 SKUs in a normal store, and a large number of stores
  • Volume of data was precluding typical analytical approaches

Omniscope Solution:

  1. Omniscope was used to analyse over 14 GB of store sales data.
  2. Key categories with out-of-stock concerns were highlighted within 4 days
  3. Data was combined with in-store process changes to improve availability management
