QuantiSense unveils retail analytics app for iPad

December 5, 2010

QuantiSense has announced the latest release of its retail analytics and business intelligence software, which includes dashboards designed especially for the iPad. In addition to a new corporate dashboard with iPad compatibility, QuantiSense 4.7.2 delivers improved reporting capabilities for greater insight, enhancements to popular "plays" to drive action, and seasonal information to improve retail decision-making, according to the company.

With iPad-compatible dashboards, retail executives can interact with data and instantly highlight problem areas and solutions from any location — the home office, during meetings, in the field and while traveling. QuantiSense on the iPad provides quick access to critical information such as:

• At-a-glance summary displaying the top departmental KPIs
• Graphical representations of sales trends
• Highlighted exceptions in lost sales, stockouts, and overstock metrics
• Flexibility to drill down into the details by class, store, SKU, etc.
• Top and bottom products across departments

Enhanced retail playbook
QuantiSense Playbooks give retailers a set of role-specific "plays" that guide them to make better decisions, allowing the entire organization to take advantage of fast-moving opportunities, quickly correct problems, and sharpen its competitive edge. Each of these sophisticated plays provides allocators, buyers, and planners with the rich metrics and exception reporting they need to take immediate action.

Several of QuantiSense’s most popular plays are enhanced in QuantiSense 4.7.2, including:

• Accelerate: Diminishes potential lost sales by prompting users to find hot-sellers with orders and insufficient reserve that may need to be accelerated to fill demand.
• It’s Ours Again: Highlights items with a disproportionately high rate of return, to signal potential vendor quality problems.
• Cut and Run: Prompts users to mark down certain merchandise in order to quickly make room for new product.
